Description:
Parallel CFD'99, the eleventh in an international series of meetings featuring computational fluid dynamics research on parallel computers, will be held 23--26 May 1999 in Williamsburg, Virginia, returning to the east coast of the United States for the first time since 1992.

The technical program planned for the 3.5-day conference features ten invited speakers, three tracks of contributed presentations, and a panel discussion, and will be preceded for the convenience of conferees by an optional half-day tutorial introducing the PETSc parallel software system, including case studies from fluid dynamics and acoustics. By the time of Parallel CFD'99, the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative in the United States will be two years old, and early experiences with the teraflops-class series of computers that is being created for it will also be featured at the meeting.

The themes of the 1999 meeting will include the traditional emphases of this conference --- parallel algorithms, CFD applications, and experiences with contemporary architectures --- throughout the broad realm of phenomena in which fluid dynamical simulations play a critical role --- from the microscopic scales of high tech manufacturing, through human scales, through planetary scales, and even to galactic scales.

Three special emphases of the 1999 meeting will be parallel methods in optimization, non-PDE-based formulations of CFD (e.g., lattice-Boltzmann), and the influence of deep memory hierarchies and high interprocessor latencies on the design of algorithms and data structures for CFD applications. Abstracts targeting these themes are especially welcome.
