Subject: WANTED: Dynamic simulator for fluid flow problems (Ph.D)

I am not familar with this mailing list, and this request may be outside of
the main topic for this list...
 
Well, I am looking for a 3D dynamic fluid flow simulator. I am going to use
it as a tool-box in my Ph.D work on 3D modelling of two-phase (oil/gas)
flow in pipes and (enventually) in complex geometries. If the code has a
2-fluid model and even som kind of VOF technique allready it would be
great, but not necessary. Single phase codes are also of interest. Codes of
interest must obey the following criteria:

    * Public domain (free)
    * Reasonable well documented
    * Coded in fortran or ansi C

If I am on the wrong net-list, please advise me other(s) to use. Replies
should be sent directly to my internet address:

THE MAIN TRACK
 
I need not emphasize for readers of this digest the current
concern for the deteriorating health of our environment.  Both
organizations and individuals are talking and writing about it,
and a significant number are doing, or preparing to do, something
about it.  But do they know what they are doing, or even what
needs to be done?  The short-range "fix" might lead to a long-
range disaster, as was the case with DDT.
 
Computer modeling and simulation can alleviate that kind of
hazard. We don't have to try something and wait to see what will
eventually happen.  If we have a suitable model we can run it
forward in time and examine the results.
 
Of course that phrase "suitable model" is all important.  Our
concern is with the total environment of our entire planet, and
today there is no suitable overall model.  And we can't wait;
circumstances demand that we take a piecemeal approach.
 
To that end I am organizing a series of conference sessions which
will constitute a continuing track, a MAIN TRACK, under the
rubric "Understanding Our Environment."  Three sessions of this
track, at which papers describing the simulation of specific
aspects of the environment will be presented, have already been
organized for the 1991 Western MultiConference on Computer
Simulation, scheduled for January 23-25 at the Disneyland Hotel
in Anaheim, California.
 
Simulationists working on related projects, but who are not yet
ready to report on their progress, are invited to present papers
on the MAIN TRACK, "Toward Understanding Our Environment," at
future SCSI conferences.  The next two of these will be the 1991
SCS Simulation MultiConference scheduled for April 1-5 at the
Fairmont Hotel in New Orleans, and the 1991 Summer Computer
Simulation Conference scheduled for Baltimore, July 22-24.
 
Understanding the pieces is progress toward understanding the whole --
let's get with it!

         NEURAL NETWORK/ HYPOTHESIS CORRELATION SERVICES


To introduce people to neural networks and hypothesis correlation 
services,  a limited time offer is available where one can have at 
no  charge  neural  network/hypothesis  correlation  analysis  of 
information.  

For example, given a series of results one can use the service to 
aid in prediction based upon new or old circumstances. To use the 
service,  send  the information via e-mail or regular mail with  a 
Stamped Self Addressed Enveloped included and use the information 
format  sheet below.  Based upon that no fee will be  charged,  5 
request   per  organization  or  individual  will  be  the  limit 
accepted.  My e-mail address is:  kanecki@vacs.uwp.wisc.edu. And,

The happenings at the SIGGRAPH meeting, are replated to my request. Several 
other Graphics personnel and I here at Indiana Univeristy are trying to 
compile a database of information on Virtual Environments and other related 
data. In accordance with Univeristy Computing Services here at Indiana, we
will take any information that is sent to us over the net, organize and 
catalogue the information and send out a completed packet to anyone who is
interested. Information on VR certainly can be found, but in order to get
a clearer idea of where VR is now and where it is going, data will have to be
gathered and recorded. Offical sources such as the Smithsonian in Washington,
DC and the Autodesk Corporation have pleged their support of this project and
will send (or have allready sent) us their available information.

	However, this database will not be complete until it is certain that
we have received as much information as possible on this subject. This database
is public, and therefore should be treated as such. Without all available
information, this database will not live up to it's full potential: to
bring all relevant information to all interested parties. It should also be
noted that this project, though University supported, is not University
organized, like many othe college research. This Database is replying solely
on the participants who will contribute and the dedication of the graphics
personnelhere at University Computing Services. Without outside public help,
it is too much for a financially unsupported, self-organized task.

	We would like to thank the people and sources that have helped us
so far in the effort, but we still need more support. Data and information
can be sent to us at these addresses at any time. Thank you.
