Master Thesis - A Parallel-in-time semi-Lagrangian finite element method for fluid dynamics
Your Job:
- Implement the semi-Lagrangian method for pure convection problems using FEniCSx ( FEniCSx: https://fenicsproject.org/download/ )
- Extend the code to solve convection-diffusion-reaction- and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
- Integrate SDC into the code to enhance temporal accuracy
- Rewrite the project as an extension of the open-source framework pySDC to enable parallel time-stepping ( pySDC: https://github.com/Parallel-in-time/pySDC )
- Conduct rigorous verification of the method and implementation through convergence tests
Your Profile:
- Ongoing master`s degree in applied mathematics or computational engineering or a similar field
- Interest in scientific research and methodology
- Solid experience with numerical methods for solving partial differential equations, preferably in the context of spatial and/or temporal discretizations of convection-dominated equations
- Knowledge and experience in developing scientific software, preferably in python
