• Jalil Khan secures NPDF grant

  Jalil Khan has been granted a National Postdoc Fellowship for two years based on his proposal on continuous Galerkin method for compressible flows. This will allow him to continue his work on this topic where he is exploring the benefits of summation-by-parts schemes that give additional consistency like those on kinetic energy, internal energy and entropy. He is also studying gradient jump penalty as a way to reduce dispersion errors and also act as a subgrid model.

• Talk by Pavanakumar Mohanamuraly

  Dr. Pavanakumar Mohanamuraly currently serves as a Senior Researcher at the ALGO-COOP Team, CERFACS, Toulouse, France. He has extensive experience in CAD-based Aerodynamics Shape Optimisation, adjoint sensitivity analysis, Machine Learning, and high-performance computing, and brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in algorithmic differentiation applied to parallel codes.

• 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.
