Foil 43 Relative Role of Computer Scientists and CFD(Aerospace Engineers) or PDE Domain Experts

From Fox Presentation Fall 1995 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox

The appropriate approximation scheme clearly requires sophisticated expertise. Also a given problem could well imply mixing different solution methods and joining them at boundary. Here the physicist must be involved. The computational scientist needs to provide physicists with a set of "tools"

Choice of Discretization Methods
grid generator
PDE solvers for various types
etc.

This is the PDE Toolkit or Problem Solving Environment which we are trying to develop for CFD and Numerical Relativity as part of NSF Grand Challenge
