Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment 1990

这是国家科学基金会数学科学部数学科学计划科学计算研究设备项目的一项资助。该计划支持购买专门用于进行数学科学研究的专用计算设备。这种设备是几个研究项目所需要的，很难单独为一个项目辩护。国家科学基金会的支持伴随着制造商的折扣和贡献，以及提交提案的机构的大量费用分摊。该项目是学术、企业和政府合作支持数学科学基础研究的一个范例。该设备将用于支持芝加哥大学数学系的四个研究项目：迈克尔·谢利指导的欧拉和纳维-斯托克斯方程数学结构的计算研究；克林特·道森指导的平流流动问题的数值解；弗莱德·罗姆-凯达尔指导的混沌流动中的输运现象；二维可压缩流动中基本波型及其相互作用的计算研究陈益良执导。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Sciences Foundation. This program supports the purchase of special purpose computing equipment dedicated to the conduct of research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment is required for several research projects and would be difficult to justify for one project alone. Support from the National Science Foundation is coupled with discounts and contributions from manufacturers and with substantial cost-sharing from the institutions submitting the proposal. This program is an example of academic, corporate, and government cooperation in the support of the basic research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment will be used to support four research projects in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Chicago: computational studies in the mathematical structure of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, directed by Michael Shelly; numerical solution of advective flow problems, directed by Clint Dawson; transport phenomena in chaotic flows, directed by Vered Rom-Kedar; computational studies in the elementary wave patterns and their interactions in 2-D compressible flows; directed by I-Liang Chern.
