In this paper an overview is given of the "Have Java"2 project to attain a pure Java parallel Navier-Stokes flow solver (JParNSS) based on the thread concept and remote method invocation @MI). The goal of this project is to produce an industrial flow solver running on an arbitrary sequential or parallel architecture, utilizing the Internet, capable of handling the most complex 3D geometries as well as flow physics, and also linking to codes in other areas such as aeroelasticity etc. Since Java is completely object oriented the code has been written in an object-oriented programming (OOP) style. The code also includes a graphics user interface (GUI) as well as an interactive steering package for the parallel architecture. The Java OOP approach provides profoundly improved software productivity, robustness, and security as well as reusability and maintainability. OOP allows code construction similar to the aerodynamic design process because objects can be software coded and integrated, reflecting actual design procedures. In addition, Java is the programming language of the Internet and thus Java objects on disparate machines or even separate networks can be connected. We explain the motivation for the design of JParNSS along with its capabilities that set it apart from other solvers. In the first two sections we present a discussion of the Java language as the programming tool for aerospace applications. In section three the_ objectives of the Have Java project arc presented. In the next section the layer structures of JParNSS are discuss-ed with emphasis on the parallelization and client-server (RMI) layers. JParNSS, like its predecessor ParNSS (ANSI-C), is based on the multiblock idea, and allows for arbitrarily complex topologies. Grids are accepted in GridPro or Plot3D format. Using GridPro property settings, grids of any size or block number can be directly read by JParNSS without any further modifications, requiring no additional preparation time for the solver

In this paper we will present a general purpose h-p finite element (or spectral/hp element) code for solving the Navier-Stokes equations in moving computational domains without the need for remeshing. The code uses Galerkin and discontinuous Galerkin projections and a high-order trial basis suitable for polymorphic subdomains. Using these techniques we model fluid/structure interactions with large structural deformation without remeshing while maintaining both numerical accuracy and convergence. Specific case studies we present include simulations of flow past an `energy-harvesting eel', a 3D flow in a micro-pump, and arterial flows.

We report the results of a theoretical study of electron scattering by CO2 at incident electron energies ranging from 0.25 to 10 eV using the complex Kohn variational method. These are the first fully ab initio calculations to accurately reproduce the two dominant features observed in experiment, namely, the dramatic rise in the integral cross sections below 2.0 eV and the resonance enhancement near 3.8 eV. Both of these effects are sensitive to the inclusion of electronic correlation effects involving long-range target polarization and short-range distortion. We have also carried out a preliminary study of effects of target vibrational motion in 2Πu symmetry with an adiabatic nuclei treatment of the symmetric stretch mode. We find that this has a substantial effect on the width of the 3.8 eV resonance feature and gives results for both the integral elastic and total cross sections in excellent agreement with experiment. Our calculated differential elastic cross sections are also in good accord with recent experimental results.

Scalar fields arise in every scientific application. Existing scalar visualization techniques require that the user infers the global scalar structure from what is frequently an insufficient display of information. We present a visualization technique which numerically detects the structure at all scales, removing from the user the responsibility of extracting information implicit in the data, and presenting the structure explicitly for analysis. We further demonstrate how scalar topology detection proves useful for correct visualization and image processing applications such as image co-registration, isocontouring, and mesh compression.

Hypervolume visualization is designed to provide simple and fully explanatory images that give comprehensive in-sights into the global structure of scalar fields of any dimension. The basic idea is to have a dimension independent viewing system that scales nicely with the geometric dimension of the dataset and that can be combined with classical approaches like isocontouring and animation of slices of nD data. One completely abandons (for core simplicity) rendering techniques, such as hidden surface removal or lighting or radiosity, that enhance three dimensional realism and concentrate on the real-time display of images that highlight structural (topological) features of the no dataset (holes, tunnels, cavities, depressions, extrema, etc.). Hypervolume visualization on the one hand is a generalization of direct parallel projection methods in volume rendering. To achieve efficiency (and real-time performance on a graphics workstation) the authors combine the advantages of (i) a hierarchical representations of the hypervolume data for multiresolution display and (ii) generalized object space splatting combined with texture-mapped graphics hardware acceleration. The main results of the paper are thus both a multiresolution direct rendering algorithm and scalable graphical user interface that provides global views of scalar fields in any dimension, while maintaining the fundamental characteristics of ease of use, and quick exploratory user interaction.
