Prof. Magin has been invited for two weeks as J. Tinsley Oden Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) at the University of Texas at Austin.
For a second year in a row, Thierry Magin, associate professor in the Aeronautics and Aerospace department, has been invited for two weeks as J. Tinsley Oden Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) at the University of Texas at Austin.
The program's foremost purpose is to bring in outstanding researchers and scholars to the University of Texas to collaborate with ICES faculty, researchers, and students on advanced research in computational engineering, mathematics, and sciences. The program also hosts internationally renowned specialists who present lectures on new developments while enhancing the stature and visibility of the program. http://www.ices.utexas.edu/programs/visitors/
Dr. Magin and graduate student Alessandro Munafó are collaborating with Dr. Gamba on the development of a deterministic Boltzmann solver for atmospheric entry flows.
During his stay at UT Austin, Prof. Magin will give two lectures:
- ICES seminar - Numerical Analysis series: "Multicomponent transport algorithms for plasmadynamics models"
- Aerothermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics seminar - Aerospace Engineering Department: "Rebuilding free stream conditions for atmospheric entries - Uncertainty quantification for high enthalpy facility ground simulations"
