Ph.D. Project
Object-Oriented Software for Large-scale Environmental Models
A 3 year Ph.D. position is available from the Danish Research
Academy in cooperation with the National Environmental Research
Institute, the Danish Supercomputing Center (UNI-C) and the Department
of Mathematical Modelling at the Technical University of Denmark.
The solution of different environmental problems is becoming more
and more important for the society. However, if all physical processes
are carefully described in the model it is difficult to handle such
problems numerically and it becomes necessary to use flexible software
in order to benefit from the progress which is continuously made in
numerical methods for PDEs and ODEs. The purpose of the project is to
investigate the use of object-oriented software design for large-scale
environmental models. The initial task will be to form a library of
building blocks for the Danish Eulerian model using an object-oriented
language and subsequently to extend the functionality to supporting 3D
as well as refined grid simulations. The main issues to be addressed
are parallelism and choice of numerical methods.
The salary for the first two years will be dkr. 171.504 and for the
third year dkr. 189.369. On top of this it will be possible to earn
approximately dkr. 52.000 a year.
The application must be received by the Danish Research Academy no
later than October, 1st, 1997. An application form as well as a
supplementary description of the project can be obtained from
