Applications

3D Magnetohydrodynamics
The equations of magnetohydrodynamics are solved on a 3 dimensional grid, using a 6th order finite difference method and a 3rd order time evolution. Applications include a variety of astrophysical problems where magnetic fields play an important role in the dynamics of the plasma.
ACRES (Adaptive Coordinate Real-space Electronic Structure)
Performs quantum mechanical calculations for atoms, molecules and solids based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT). These calculations are performed on a real space mesh which is adapted to suit spatially inhomogeneous requirements of resolution for an accurate description of a system. Results include electronic structure, total energy and Hellman-Feynman forces on atoms. Using the forces, the code also performs structural relaxation to minimum energy energy structure.
adaptive version of Chris Anderson's algorithm
We have implemented an algorithm in HPF for the rapid evaluation of the potential and force fields in systems involving large numbers of particles whose interaction are Coulombic or gravitational in nature. The code is based on Dr. Chris Anderson's hierarchical O(N) N-body algorithm derived from computational elements based on Poisson's formula. In a system of N particles, an amount of work of the order O(N^2) has been traditionally required to evaluate all pair-wise interactions unless some approximation or truncation method is used. Dr. Chris Anderson's algorithm requires an amount of work proportional to N to evaluate all interactions making it considerably more practical for large-scale problems encountered in plasma physics, fluid dynamics, molecular dynamics and celestial mechanics. Our code has been integrated in a molecular dynamics simulations package.

A Post-stack 3D Seismic Depth Migration Code for imaging of inhomogeneous subsurface with a split convolutional approach. The depth extrapolation of the seismic stack is achieved by the convolution with a filter in the space-frequency domain. The filter is designed as an interpolation of 1D filters for a set of reference, constant velocities, choosen by an information-theoretical criterion.

Computational Electromagnetics (CEM)
Computational electromagnetics (CEM) in the time domain is the most general numerical approach for describing dynamic or wide-band frequency electromagnetic phenomena. Computational simulations are derived from discretized approximations to the time-dependent Maxwell equations [1-10]. High numerical efficiency of CEM simulation procedures can be attained either by algorithmic improvements to solve the Maxwell equations or by using scalable parallel distributed memory computer systems. Since the massive volume of data processing are involved in solving the Maxwell equations, distributed memory computer systems are viable means to solve the memory shortage problem on workstations or vector computer systems. The other advantage is reduced time when parallel processing is employed to solve the Maxwell equations. Hence, parallelization of existing sequential Fortran code for solving Maxwell equations is an important effort towards developing efficient and accurate CEM code in analyzing refraction and diffraction phenomena for aircraft signature technology.

MOD3D/RTM
A 3D Scalar Wave Propagation Modeler / Reverse Time Migration code. The code solves the scalar wave propagation in isotropic media by 4th order 5-step leap-frog scheme for tikme integration and by calculating the laplacian either by compact finite differences (implicit scheme) or by a spectral scheme in space. The same code running backward in time and feeded by the seismic stack as surface boundary condition acts as a full two-way migration and permits imaging of steep dip structures or even turning waves. The Hamiltonian scheme adopted gives control to the energy flow and therefore very effective absorbing boundary conditions have been implemented.
