Workshop on the Application of Computational Mathematics andLarge-Scale Scientific Computing in Process and Chemical Engineering (Minneapolis, MN; Summer 1985)

化学过程的数学模型以及化学工程师感兴趣的化学和物理性质的预测，越来越多地必须涉及几个空间变量和复杂几何中的非线性偏微分和积分方程。这些模型的发展是为了使物理正确，而不是为了使方程式简单或数学优美。这些复杂模型的解决方案需要现代计算数学技术以及当前和未来大型科学计算机的计算能力。这个为期两天的研讨会将于1985年夏天在明尼苏达大学的明尼阿波利斯校区举行，旨在促进化学工程和计算数学研究社区之间的互动，并将有利于这两个学科未来的研究方向。

Mathematical models of chemical processes and for the prediction of chemical and physical properties of interest to chemical engineers increasingly must involve nonlinear partial differential and integral equations in several space variables and in complicated geometries. The development of these models is motivated by the desire to get the physics right, not to make the equations simple or the mathematics elegant. The solution to these complex models requires the techniques of modern computational mathematics and the computing power of current and future large-scale scientific computers. This 2-day workshop to be held on the Minneapolis Campus of the University of Minnesota in the summer of 1985 is devoted to stimulating interaction between the chemical engineering and computational mathematics research communities and will benefit the future research directions of both disciplines.
