Benjamin Brown: The Dedalus Project IACS Seminar

Presented by Benjamin Brown Assistant Professor University of Colorado Full Talk Title: The Dedalus Project: A Flexible Approach to Accurately Solving PDEs with Applications in Stellar Astrophysics Talk Abstract: Advances in theoretical astrophysics are powered by computational tools.
Here we discuss the Dedalus project a flexible open-source and spectrally accurate framework for solving partial differential equations.
In Dedalus equations are separated from solution techniques allowing rapid comparison of different approximations within a consistent numerical framework.
We discuss recent advances in representing spherical geometries and the sparse solution of non-constant coefficient systems with illustrations drawn from our teams work on stellar astrophysics convection and magnetic dynamo processes.

He received his B.S.
in Physics from Harvey Mudd College 2003 his Ph.D.
in Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences from CU Boulder 2009.
He is a member of the open-source Dedalus project and is interested in fluid dynamics particularly problems arising in stellar and planetary atmospheres and interiors.
