NCAR's Computational Mathematics Group -- CMG
The Computational Mathematics Group (CMG) in IMAGe is focused on
the development of novel numerical methodologies for the purpose of
modeling problems that arise in atmospheric, oceanic, and solar science.
The scientists that compose CMG come from a myriad of backgrounds such
as numerical weather prediction, computational fluid dynamics, and
applied mathematics, giving the group a diverse flavor and broad exposure
to a variety of fields that compose computational mathematics. Research
interests are generally directed towards numerical strategies to obtain
high-order solutions for partial differential equations that simulate
geophysical and astrophysical flows. Research areas include the development
and application of continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods, finite volume methods
(both Eulerian and Lagrangian), adaptive mesh refinement, iterative solvers
and domain decomposition preconditioners, efficient time-stepping schemes,
meshless methods(radial basis functions), and hybrid numerical-analytical
methods for intial-boundary value problems. Applications include modeling
of solar magnetic topology and coronal mass ejections, climate modeling,
and atmospheric mesoscale modeling.
CMG is administratively housed in the Institute for
Mathematics Applied to Geosciences (IMAGe) of NCAR at
the Mesa Lab in beautiful
Boulder, CO.
