Roozbeh Sanaei's blog

This may be interesting news for many of imechanicians. (according to pervious discussions)

From GOOGLE Blog:

 I think when a reaction occurs in fluid state. the quantum effects may become important in its simulation. does any body know any thing about quantum effects in fluid mechanics? did any one a multiscale Simulation in this regard. my knowledge is very limited in this regard. please guide me!.

Java has very good characteristics as a scientific computation. Its very strong structure make debugging very easier than traditional languages such as MATLAB and Fortran. JVM lead to high portablity of JAVA in Linux and Windows. And Garbage Collector is a real good advantage beneficial for scientific Computation. I think it can be good alternative for C++ and Fortran.

Attached are two Available Lectures in this Regard.

 This is an interesting power point about major characterisrics of Wave Scattering By Elliptical and Spheroidal Inhomogenities.

what's the status of Discrete-to-continuum scale bridging. and it's real application?

Computational or Analytical? 

Once you can describe a problem analytically, you should be able to solve the problem straightforward. Moreover, bookkeeping of the related variables is rather easy, enabling you to model your problem in an rather easy fashion. (During my undergraduate courses, I used to check my assignents by Excel). However, implementing such a strategy in software involves a certain amount of problem directed programming - i.e. your code may be valid for a given problem only.
