Abstract:

The Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering ICASE is operated at the Langley Research Center LaRC of NASA by the Universities Space Research Association USRA under a contract with the Center. USRA is a nonprofit consortium of major U.S. colleges and universities. The Institute conducts unclassified basic research in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and computer science in order to extend and improve problem-solving capabilities in science and engineering, particularly in aeronautics and space. The major categories of the current ICASE research program are 1 Numerical methods, with particular emphasis on the development and analysis of basic numerical algorithms 2 Control and parameter identification problems, with emphasis on effective numerical methods 3 Computational problems in engineering and the physical sciences, particularly fluid dynamics, acoustics, and structural analysis and 4 Computer systems and software, especially vector and parallel computers. kr
