1. VKI course on unstructured grid generation 


This year's edition of the von Karman Institute 31th Computational 
Fluid Dynamics lecture series will focus on grid generation and 
solution adaptive mesh algorithms for high Reynolds number 
Navier-Stokes simulation. The course will be held in Brussels, 
March 20-24, 2000. 

The Lecture Course will address some of the key topics in mesh
generation, with an emphasis on unstructured grids applied in
computational fluid dynamics. Some of the key issues associated with the
links to CAD, algorithms and data structures will be introduced. The latest
developments in grid algorithms will be discussed for the generation of
isotropic and anisotropic tetrahedral grids and the generation of
unstructured hexahedral grids. There will also be a strong emphasis placed
on grid quality and error estimation for finite element methods. 

The web site of the course can be found at

2. NUMIGRID 2000 conference 

The 7th International Conference on Numerical Grid Generation in 
Computational Field Simulations will be held at Chateau Whistler 
Resort, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, September 25-28, 2000. 
The deadline for submitting abstracts is March 15, 2000.
