Welcome to my Home page. My name is Renato Simoes Silva. I'm working in the Fluid Mechanics Numerical Simulation Group (SiMEF) at The National Laboratory of Scientific Computations (LNCC). I'm a PhD. candidate at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) Brazil.

Research Area is Computational Fluid Dynamics with special interest in:

Distributed Computing
Domain Decomposition Methods
Adaptive Methods ( h, h-p)
Load Balance
Multigrid
Petrov-Galerkin Formulations

By now I am using a collection of workstations connected by FDDI using PVM, But in the near future I will change to MPI. I'm solving Compressible Navier-Stokes and Euler equations, using the Additive Scharwz Method acelereted by GMRES method. Here some results:

Some of my recent work (papers, seminars):
