KAUST-IAMCS Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Wave Propagation and Applications

May 8–9, 2012
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
Conference Center (Building 19), Conference Halls 1 & 2

Description

Robust and accurate simulations of wave propagation in complex media are essential for many important industrial applications ranging from seismic imaging to medical tomography. Challenges in this area include developing robust discretization techniques that are accurate, less sensitive to wave number, and are scalable on state-of-the-art computer architectures. The focus areas of this workshop are:

Advanced discretization techniques
Modeling of wave propagation in heterogeneous and random media
Subgrid models and multiscale discretization techniques for wave equations in complex media
Uncertainty quantification in wave propagation
Solvers for wave equations in complex media
Applications to geophysics
High-performance computation and visualization tools for large-scale wave simulations

This workshop will bring together researchers from academia and industry, with the goal of facilitating the exchange of ideas to improve modeling and simulation predictions. The workshop will consist of a number of invited presentations. In addition, we particularly encourage poster presentations from workshop participants.
