Title: Rocket Science Meets Computer Science

Speaker: Prof. Michael T. Heath

Location: DCS Seminar, 2240 DCL

Date and Time:  October 13, 1997, 4pm

Abstract:

The Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets is a new Center of
Excellence at UIUC funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Academic
Strategic Alliances Program.  The focus of the Center is on integrated
computational simulation of complex systems that require an
interdisciplinary approach, with specific emphasis on whole-system
simulation of solid propellant rockets.  Research and development
activities at the Center involve a broad range of disciplines including
combustion, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, materials science, and all
areas of computer science.  In this talk the speaker will give an
overview of the Center, emphasizing its relationships with research in
computer science.
