The present book provides an introduction to using space-filling curves (SFC) as tools in
scientific computing. Special focus is laid on the representation of SFC and on resulting …

The approximation of transient detonation waves requires numerical methods that are able
to resolve a wide range of different scales. Especially the accurate consideration of detailed …

The gap between CPU speed and memory speed in modern computer systems is widening
as new generations of hardware are introduced. Loop blocking and prefetching …

An adaptive finite volume approach is presented to accurately simulate shock-induced
combustion phenomena in gases, particularly detonation waves. The method uses a …

We present a methodology for the large-eddy simulation of compressible flows with a low-
numerical dissipation scheme and structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR). A …

The fluid–structure interaction simulation of shock-and detonation-loaded thin-walled
structures requires numerical methods that can cope with large deformations as well as local …

The Zoltan dynamic load balancing library provides applications with a reusable object
oriented interface to several load balancing techniques, including coordinate bisection …

The Dark Sky Simulations are an ongoing series of cosmological N-body simulations
designed to provide a quantitative and accessible model of the evolution of the large-scale …

Structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR) techniques can enable cutting-edge
simulations of problems governed by conservation laws. Focusing on the strictly hyperbolic …

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is used regularly at synchrotron light sources to study the
internal morphology of materials at high resolution. However, experimental constraints, such …
