Subject: NA Digest too dull?
NA Digesters:
How's this to generate some controversy? About 6,7 years ago in a
conversation with one of LANL's foremost applied mathematicians, I declared
that CFD is dead. This person, whose maturity and integrity match his
life-long technical achievement, corrected me and said that CFD is a
"mature" field.
CFD is a "mature" field in the sense that there has been no great
innovation. No "must read" paper in the field has been written in the last
10 years. While I applaud the effort by many applied mathematicians to use
their tools to solve important problems in industry and biological
sciences, I believe there is still way too much emphasis (at least in the
literature) on devising specialized, high-order schemes for the
one-dimensional gas dynamics equations, methods so fragile that couldn't
possibly have any applicability in real-life problems.
Some questions I would like to pose:
1. Is CFD a means to itself, or its purpose is to help gain insight in
complex systems?
2. If CFD is a "pure science" for its own sake, what may be considered a
major breakthrough? I would like to exclude any major breakthrough (such as
an O(n) scheme for anything) in numerical linear algebra. For example, I
would consider being able to estimate (sharply) computational errors for a
real scheme (so I'm not talking about an "a posteriori error estimate" or
the "rate of convergence") would be a real big deal.
3. If the purpose of CFD is to help us gain insight into complex systems,
what are some major challenges? One example I have in mind is in the
application to multiphysics: not just physics of fluids, but incorporation
of physics of multiple time/spatial scales, physics at different
temperature regimes, physics of multiple material phases, etc.
Today I am not actively working in CFD; among other things, the
disenchantment I have with the direction CFD was headed has led me to a
different scientific career. I doubt I'm the only one. Perhaps some of you
also care to comment on your opinion of the state of CFD today.
Yours Truly,
Karen Pao

Subject: Small tutorial on parametric model reduction
Hello,
I have made available a small tutorial on parametric model reduction at
http://www.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/simulation/mor4ansys/lab/parametric.zip
It shows that parametric model reduction is possible, well, at least
for the problem in question. One can approximate an original dynamic
system of dimension 4257 by a reduced system of dimension 41 while
preserving three parameters in the system matrix in the symbolic form.
It also shows that the the approach employed is quite empirical and
there is great need for mathematical research.
The tutorial is made in Mathematica. If you do not have it, you can
browse the pdf of the notebook with the results
http://www.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/simulation/mor4ansys/lab/parametric/
parametricMOR.nb.pdf
I should say that the implementation is pretty straightforward: a
computation of a few Krylov subspaces.
Best wishes,
