Converting Multiphysics Mathematica Code into C Subroutines
C. Fred Higgs, Mechanical Engineering and Computer & Electrical Engineering
The Particle Flow & Tribology Laboratory is becoming well-known for its mixture of innovative mechanical engineering test rigs and the computational, multi-physics, simulations that model them. For example, we simulated the wear process of two rough surfaces, which can be seen at the bottom of: http://www.me.cmu.edu/faculty1/higgs/slurry.html.We are looking for engineers with strong programming experience to join our team as we attempt to take our model from the R&D scale to the ultra-fast commercial scale.
Skills needed:
- Senior standing in MechE, ECE, or Computer Science
- Research honors status;
- Programming skills/experience in C and Mathematica
- Exposure to Mathematica (or Matlab and willing to learn Mathematica which is similar)
