Contents:
Turbulence
- Turbulence Links
![[GOOD]](Icons/smiley.gif)
- A comprehensive summary of turbulence information on the net by George
B. Ross. It isn't always up-to-date, but it is still the most complete source
of turbulence information on the net.
- Bibliography
Of Turbulent Flows
- A list of over 9000 references on turbulence and associated numerical and
experimental techniques. Compiled by Prof.
Peter Bradshaw.
Discretization Schemes
- Finite
Volume Methods: Foundation and Analysis
- A 57-page report on finite volume methods by Timothy Barth and Mario Ohlberger.
The focus is on compressible flows and it describes classical schemes like
TVD, ENO and Muscl as well as modern multi-dimensional higher-order schemes.
Nice!
- Numerical
Methods and Error Estimation for Conservation Laws on Structured and Unstructured
Meshes
- Timothy Barth's lecture notes from his 2003 VKI lecture series. Good stuff!
Solvers
For software libraries see the
Programming
and Computing > Software Libraries section.
- Templates
for the Solution of Linear Systems
- A hypertext book focused on iterative methods for solving large sparse
systems of linear equations. Algorithms are presented in a language independent "template"
form. Basically the same routines are available in the C++ libraries SparseLib++, IML++, MV++ .
Multigrid Methods
Has a long history on the net.
- MGNet
- A repository for information related to the multigrid, multilevel, and
domain decomposition methods. Has a large bibtex database, reports, preprints,
tutorials and a lot of free software. Also publishes a monthly newsletter.
Highly recommended!
Selected Projects
- UG - A Toolbox for Adaptive Multigrid Solution of PDEs
- A free software package from the Institute for Computer Applications at
the University of Stuttgart. Has a lot of documentation.
Finite Element Methods
- Internet Finite Element Resources
- An excellent annotated collection of links to information related to FEM.
Has been on the net for a long time and it is still updated regularly.
- FEMur - The Finite Element Method Universal Resource
- An introduction to FEM and a collection of FEM resources. Has a lot of
educational information.
- FEA World, COMCO
- Collecting finite elements links. A bit confusing structure. COMCO also
has some information on Mesh Generation and FEM theory.
- Finite Element People
- Many links to home pages of people working with finite element methods.
A good place to start surfing for research oriented FEM information.
- NAFEMS
- NAFEMS is an organization aimed at fostering quality and standards in the
numerical analysis of engineering problems. They have a CFD working group
which hosts seminars and develops CFD training documentation.
Selected Projects
- FEATFLOW
- FEAT is a general purpose software system for solving PDEs with the finite
element method. The system includes a lot of tools and an incompressible
fluid-flow package called FEATFLOW. The software is available freely with
source (F77) and the site has a lot of further information available online.
The FEAT group are from the University of Heidelberg.
Cartiesian Grid Methods
- Home Page of Michael J. Aftosmis, NASA Ames Research Center
- Working on Cartesian Grid Methods and the Cart3D code.
Has many publications available online, including leture notes from a VKI course on cartesian grid methods.
- Home Page of Marsha J. Berger, Courant Institute
- One of the leading researchers on cartesian grid methods. Has several highly
relevant publications available directly online.
Numerical Analysis
- NA-Net
- An online forum for numerical analysts. Provides an email database, a whitepage
database and a weekly digest.
