The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....

The 20-year US GLOBEC (Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics)
program examined zooplankton populations and their predators in four coastal
marine ecosystems. Program scientists learned that environmental controls on
zooplankton vital rates, especially the timing and magnitude of reproduction, growth,
life-cycle progression, and mortality, determine species population dynamics,
seasonal and spatial distributions,...
