ABSTRACT

SPRINT2D is a set of software tools for solving time-dependent partial differential equations in two space variables. The software uses unstructured triangular meshes and adaptive error control in both space and time. This chapter describes the software and shows how the adaptive techniques may be used to increase the reliability of the solution procedure for a challenging combustion problem. The recent construction of a problem solving environment (PSE) has partially automated the use of SPRINT2D. This PSE consists of tools such as a visual domain specification tool, which helps ease the input of complex geometries, and a visual problem specification tool. After describing these components an evaluation will be made of SPRINT2D and its associated PSE.

ABSTRACT

We present the design, implementation and application of SCIRun, a scientific programming environment that allows the interactive construction, debugging, and steering of large-scale scientific computations. Using this "computational workbench," a scientist can design and modify simulations interactively via a dataflow programming model. SCIRun enables scientists to design and modify model geometry, interactively change simulation parameters and boundary conditions, and interactively visualize geometric models and simulation results. We discuss the ubiquitous roles SCIRun plays as a computational tool (e.g. resource manager, thread scheduler, development environment), and how we have applied an object oriented design (implemented in C++) to the scientific computing process. Finally, we demonstrate the application of SCIRun to large scale problems in computational medicine. 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 Visual Computing and Interactive Steering In recent years, the scientific computing commu...
