Magnetic Drug Targeting unter Einsatz von superparamagnetischen Eisenoxid-Nanopartikeln (SPIONs) ist eine wirksame Methode, um in der Krebstherapie die Wirkstoffapplikation im Tumorgewebe zu steigern, bei gleichzeitiger Reduktion der Gesamtwirkstoffmenge und der mit der Therapie einhergehenden Nebenwirkungen. Während die Wirksamkeit des Ansatzes bereits in Studien nachgewiesen werden konnte, fehlen allerdings bislang Ansätze, um diese Methode an den jeweiligen Behandlungsfall anzupassen und zu o…

Mountain glaciers and ice caps outside the large ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica contribute about 41% to the global sea level rise between 1901 to 2018 (IPCC 2021). While the Arctic ice masses are and will remain the main contributors to sea level rise, glacier ice in other mountain regions can be critical for water supply (e.g. irrigation, energy generation, drinking water, but also river transport during dry periods). Furthermore, retreating glaciers also can cause risks and hazards by floods,…

The Message Passing Interface\cite{mpi-standard} (MPI) is the de facto
standard for distributed programming on all modern compute clusters and
supercomputers. It features a large number of communication patterns with
virtually no overhead. Our work on bringing MPI functionality to Common
Lisp resulted in vast improvements to the message passing library CL-MPI
and the development of severaly new approaches to distributed computing.

We optimized and parallelized a framework which compiles stencil operations defined by abstract operators into code, which performs the corresponding stencil update. Therefore, we are now able to formulate solvers for a large number of application problems (flow simulation, image analysis, ...) in an abstract way, and then solve efficiently on structured meshes.

The fundamental problems in the numerical approximation of multiphase systems, or more generally speaking, in the treatment of flows with capillary free boundaries are the representation of the free surface, evaluating the curvature, handling of discontinuities, most importantly the pressure jump, and time discretization strategies for the decoupling of flow computation and geometry. While for the first three items there exists a vast literature and many techniques developed over the last two decades,…
