Some Diffpack features
  • Linear solvers and preconditioners
  • Grids and scalar/vector fields
  • Biased towards FEM, support for FDM
  • Mixed FEM, block systems
  • Systems of PDEs
  • Stochastic PDEs
  • Multilevel solution
  • Adaptive mesh (h-adaptivity)
  • Parallel computing
  • Problem solving environment

We have always been interested in core
technologies, but these also need application

Some Diffpack applications
  • Heat and phase transfer
  • Viscous laminar and turbulent flow
  • Thermo-elastic-plastic deformation
  • Electromagnetics
  • Chemical reactors
  • Design of quantum computers
  • Stochastic porous media flow
  • Electrical activity in the heart
  • Tsunami simulation

The Mjølnir asteroide impact
21
Barents Sea, 142 mill. years ago
22
The Mjølnir event was 1000 times stronger than
the Dec 26, 2004 event!
23
The Mjølnir tsunami consisted of a series of
individual waves
24
The evolution of the front of the tsunami
25
The tragic Dec 26, 2004 tsunami
  • How was the earthquake-induced bottom lift?
  • Tsunami simulations yield important constraints

We have made international impact on scientific
software
The scientific computing group is concerned with
applying modern software engineering practices to
scientific software. This group has achieved
international distinction by calling attention to
the feasibility and desirability of subjecting
scientific software a niche area to this
discipline. DIFFPACK (now commercialized) has
wielded an enormous influence on other scientific
software around the world. The publication
record of this group is impressive, and includes
internationally published books that go a long
way to defining scientific software
engineering, - Evaluation of ICT groups at
Norwegian Universities (2002)
