• Talk by Boniface Nkonga on C1 FEM

  Boniface will give a talk on C1 finite elements with applications to fusion problems.

• Arpit awarded Humboldt Research Fellowship

  Arpit Babbar defended his doctoral thesis in July 2024 on the topic of high order numerical methods for hyperbolic conservation laws. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. Arpit has been awarded a Humboldt Research Fellowship for postdocs by the Humboldt Foundation, for his proposal on “Discontinuous Galerkin methods for atmospheric flows”. The grant, which is awarded for a period of two years, will allow Arpit to work on topics like development of efficient methods for atmospheric flows, provable admissibility preserving schemes in presence of gravity source terms, optimal temporal discretization and time stepping, and convergence analysis in presence of gravity source terms. Arpit will pursue these research objectives with his academic host Prof. Hendrik Ranocha and the Mainz Institute of Multiscale Modeling.

• Talk by Boniface Nkonga on liquid metal flows

  Boniface will give a talk on liquid metal flows under external electric and magnetic fields, which may be useful in fusion devices for protection and energy extraction.

• Visit of Boniface Nkonga

  Boniface Nkonga is a professor in Univ. of Cote d’Azur, Nice and is also a member of INRIA, Sophia-Antipolis. During his visit, we will try to finish some work on energy consistent schemes for shear shallow water models jointly with Aadi Bhure.

• Deep Ray visit and seminar

  Deep Ray from Univ. of Maryland will visit TIFR-CAM during 8-10 August 2024. He is doing a lot of work on scientific machine learning and will be giving a talk on inverse problems using Bayesian learning.

• Arpit defends his thesis

• Talk on asynchronous DG by Shubham Goswami

  Shubham Goswami is a doctoral candidate at CDS, IISc who is working on asynchronous methods geared towards massively parallel simulations. The idea is to reduce the amount of time ranks have to wait for data, which is a major bottleneck for large simulations.

• Talk on FD WENO by Dinshaw Balsara

  Dinshaw will be visiting TIFR-CAM during 8-10 January 2024 and will give a talk on finite difference WENO schemes for hyperbolic PDE. To watch the talk on zoom, write me an email for the link.

• Jalil Khan joins as postdoc

  Jalil Khan has recently submitted his PhD thesis from IIT Jammu on Simulation and Analysis of Cumulus Cloud type of Flows, where he used DNS and HPC to study transient diabetic plumes. Here is a paper based on his PhD work 10.1063/5.0150070. At CAM, he will work on developing continuous Galerkin methods for compressible Navier-Stokes equations.
