Mathematical Sciences Computing Research Environment

工程科学与应用数学系 西北大学将购买IBM RISC System/6000 POWERstation 530将致力于支持研究， 数学科学 该设备将用于 若干研究项目，特别包括： 1.密闭容器中的火焰传播。 2.火焰的稳定性。 3.火焰在液体薄膜上蔓延。 4.液体薄膜沿着一个平面的覆盖。 5.多孔介质中的微观自由边界问题。 这五个项目涉及免费的数值计算 流体力学和燃烧的边界问题。他们都是 计算密集型，是数学的，也是 物理兴趣。

The Department of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics at Northwestern University will purchase an IBM RISC System/6000 POWERstation 530 which will be dedicated to support research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment will be used for several research projects including in particular: 1. Flame propagation in closed vessels. 2. Stability of stretched flames. 3. Flame spread over thin liquid films. 4. Coating of a liquid film along a plane. 5. Microscopic free boundary problems in a porous media. These five projects involve the numerical computation of free boundary problems in fluid mechanics and combustion. They are all computationally intensive and are of mathematical as well as of physical interest.
