Simulating Desert Scenery

An algorithm for simulating wind-ripples and moving sand is extended by the detection of fixed objects. This permits us simulation and animation of sand interacting with objects like houses, highways, cactuses, etc. Sand is accumulated on the windward side of an obstacle and the sand relocation and wind-ripples formation is diminished on the leeward side. The wind shadow depends on the object’s...

Distillating knowledge about SCOTCH

Scotch is a software package for sequential and parallel graph partitioning, static mapping and sparse matrix ordering, and for sequential mesh/hypergraph ordering. It has been designed in a highly modular way, so that new methods can be easily added to it, in order for it to be used as a testbed for the design of new partitioning and ordering methods. This paper discusses the internal structur...

Scotch and libScotch 5.0 User’s Guide

This document describes the capabilities and operations of Scotch and libScotch, a software package and a software library devoted to static mapping, partitioning, and sparse matrix block ordering of graphs and meshes/hypergraphs. It gives brief descriptions of the algorithms, details the input/output formats, instructions for use, installation procedures, and provides a number of examples. Sco...

Making Scotch : Engineering , Chemistry , and Education

During two successive summer hands-on whisky making classes at the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay in Scotland, two types of samples were taken and analyzed using GC/MS. Samples were taken periodically during the two stages of distillation, and of whisky that had matured for different periods of time in different character casks. HYSYS engineering software was adapted to the batch distillatio...
