6th Workshop on Methods of Grid Generation and their Applications

History

The First Workshop on the Methods of Grid Generation and Their Application was held on the initiative of the Instinute of Mathematics and Mechanics of the Urals Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in March 1987 near Ekaterinburg (at that time called Sverdlovsk). The Second All-Union Coordinative Workshop on the Problem of Grid Generation for Solving Problems of Mathematical Physics was held in September 1988 near the city of Kemerovo within the framework of the Seventh All-Union Seminar 'Theoretical Foundations and Construction of Numerical Algorithms for Solving the Problems of Mathematical Physics'.

The following workshops were held every two year: 

the third one  - in September of 1990 (near Ekaterinburg)
the fourth one - in September of 1992 (in Chelyabinsk region)
the fifth one  - in September of 1994 (near Kazan)

The next, sixth workshop is going to be held together with the Rostov State University in the settlement Djurso (on the coast of the Black Sea) in September 1996.

Organizers

All the meetins were organized by the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics of the Urals Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The second workshop was organized together with the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mec- hanics of the SB of the RAS, Kemerovo State University. The fourth workshop was held together with the All-Union Scientific-Research Institute of Technical Physics, the fifth - together with the Institu- te of Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering of the Kazan Scientific Center of the RAS.

Topics

The workshops are devoted to the discussion of the following questions.

1. The problems of construction of grid generation algorithms, including the aspect of parallelizing calculations for multi-processor systems.

2. Tests for algorithm and programmes of grid generation. Criteria of grid quality.

3. Grid application for solving problems of mathematical physics.

4. Coordination of researches in the field of grid generation.

According to the participants' request it was decided not to limit the sphere of interests only by the problems of grid generation and to invite to the workshop the leading scientists of the country, so that they could make review lectures on more general problems of computational mathematics.
