Subject: FEATool Matlab CFD and Multiphysics Toolbox v1.6 released


The FEATool Matlab and Octave Multiphysics toolbox has now been
significantly updated with computational fluid dynamics capabilities
by integrating the high performance CFD solver FeatFlow. For the first
time, high performance CFD simulations can now be performed from an
easy to use and convenient GUI directly in Matlab and Octave.

The open source FeatFlow CFD solver has been thoroughly tested,
validated, and used in computational fluid dynamics benchmarks and in
a wide variety of industrial fluid flow simulations such as heat
exchangers, two-phase flows, screw and fixed industrial mixers, and
more. Employing a novel and unique FEM multigrid solver approach
FeatFlow has consistently shown to be both faster and more accurate
compared to both modern academic and commercial CFD codes. With the
new FEATool integration the high performance FeatFlow CFD solver now
can be used by everyone.

In addition to the improved CFD capabilities, FEATool v1.6 includes a
new automatic quadrilateral grid generation functionality, expanded
FEM basis function library, several new models, tutorials, and updated
documentation.

FEATool Multiphysics developed by Precise Simulation Ltd. is above all
designed to be a fully integrated and very easy to use, flexible, and
customizable PDE and FEM Continuum Mechanics and Multiphysics
Simulation Toolbox for Matlab and Octave.

Subject: Mathematics for Big Data, Serbia, May 2017


The availability of huge amounts of data is often considered as the
fourth industrial revolution we are living right now. The increase in
data accumulation allows us to tackle a wide range of social,
economic, industrial and scientific challenges. But extracting
meaningful knowledge from the available data is not a trivial task and
represents a severe challenge for data analysts. Mathematics plays an
important role in the existing algorithms for data processing through
techniques of statistical learning, signal analysis, distributed
optimization, compress sensing etc. The amounts of data that are
available and that are going to be available in near future call for
significant efforts in mathematics. These efforts are needed to make
the data useful. The main challenges we plan to consider within this
SIG are, roughly speaking, in the area of mathematical optimization
and statistics. The Special Interest Group Mathematics for Big Data,
organized under ECMI umbrella, aims to bring together major
stakeholders in this exciting area.

The principal objectives of the workshop are: to gather experts from
academia working on Big Data issues; to promote scientific cooperation
on up-to-date open challenges in the area; to promote cooperation
between academia and industry in the area; and to promote joint
applications to EU funded programs.

The workshop will have the usual format of ECMI Special Group
workshops. Several distinguished experts will deliver plenary lectures
on the state-of-the art topics, followed by a limited number of
contributed lectures. Posters sections are also possible. A panel
discussion with the representatives of industry will also be
organized. A collection of survey papers will be published in Springer
book edition "Mathematics in Industry".

Place: University of Novi Sad, Serbia
Dates: May 31 - June 1, 2017

Subject: Short Course on Peridynamics, Canada, Jul 2017


Short Course on Peridynamics
14th U.S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics (USNCCM14)
July 17-20, 2017, Montreal, QC, Canada,
http://14.usnccm.org/SC14-001

A short-course on the Peridynamics Theory of Solid Mechanics will be
held at the upcoming U.S. National Congress on Computational
Mechanics. The short course will cover both the fundamentals of
peridynamics as well as advanced topics and applications, including a
hands-on computational tutorial. Students, postdocs, as well as
early-career and senior researchers are welcome to participate. The
short-course description is given below.

Peridynamics Theory of Solid Mechanics: modeling, computation, and
applications

Instructors
- Dr. John Foster (john.foster@utexas.edu), The University of Texas at
Austin
- Dr. David Littlewood (djlittl@sandia.gov), Sandia National
Laboratories
- Dr. Pablo Seleson (selesonpd@ornl.gov), Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Peridynamics is a nonlocal reformulation of classical continuum
mechanics, based on integral equations, suitable for material failure
and damage simulation. In contrast to classical constitutive
relations, peridynamic models do not require spatial differentiability
assumptions of displacement fields, leading to a natural
representation of material discontinuities such as
cracks. Furthermore, peridynamic models possess length scales, making
them suitable for multiscale modeling. This course will provide an
overview of peridynamics, including its mathematical, computational,
and modeling aspects. The course will also review advanced research
topics and software in peridynamics, and it will include a hands-on
tutorial on 3D simulation of solid mechanics problems.

Subject: Inverse Problems from Theory to Application, UK, Sep 2017


Tuesday 19 - Thursday 21 September 2017
Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge, UK
CALL FOR PAPERS - submission deadline 30 April 2017

An inverse problem denotes the task of computing an unknown physical
quantity from indirect measurements. The corresponding forward problem
maps the physical quantity to the measurements. In most realistic
situations the solution of the inverse problem is challenging,
complicated by incomplete and noisy measurements, as well as
non-invertible forward operators which render the inverse problem
ill-posed (that is lack of stability and/or uniqueness of
solutions). Inverse problems appear in many practical applications in
biology, medicine, weather forecasting, chemistry, engineering,
physics, to name but a few, and their analysis and solution presents
considerable challenges in mathematics and statistics. This conference
will bring together mathematicians and statisticians, working on
theoretical and numerical aspects of inverse problems, and engineers,
physicists and other scientists, working on challenging inverse
problem applications. We welcome industrial representatives, doctoral
students, early career and established academics working in this field
to attend.

Conference topics: Imaging; Regularisation theory; Statistical inverse
problems; Sampling; Data assimilation; Inverse problem applications

Papers will be accepted for the conference based on a 300 word
abstract for oral or poster presentation. Abstracts should be
submitted by 30 April via https://my.ima.org.uk/

Subject: PhD Position, Multimodality image registration, Univ of Liverpool


The Department of Mathematical Sciences and the EPSRC Liverpool Centre
of Maths in Healthcare at the University of Liverpool invites
applications for this graduate teaching assistant (GTA) studentship
leading to a PhD and starting from 1st September 2017. The project
will develop mathematical models for multimodal imaging: the
combination of different modalities, such as CT, MRI, photoacoustic,
optical, ultrasound, and Tera-Hertz imaging. Our goal is robustness,
which will be achieved through rigorous mathematical analysis. The
models combined with relevant numerical solution techniques will be
applied to various applications, such as oncology and functional brain
imaging, relevant to the EPSRC Liverpool Centre of Maths in Healthcare
and its clinical and industrial partners. Any single modality of
images (e.g. CT) cannot reveal all the features in an object and
different modalities may offer advances in practical applications by
complementing each other through suitable combination of information.
