The Department of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics of Northwestern University propose to purchase a Hewlett Packard multiprocessor graphics workstation and two X-terminal stations. The equipment will be used for scientific computation for the following research projects:
* Numerical simulation of viscous sintering * Numerical studies of frequency conversion and light propagation in optical systems * Complex Structures in Pattern-Forming Systems * Superlattice wave patterns
The principal investigator is D. Chopp. Co-principal investigators are G. G. Luther, H. Riecke, and M. Silber. Northwestern University has agreed to contribute 50% of the cost of the equipment.
