The fields of computer aided design (CAD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have advanced dramatically in recent years, in terms of theory, algorithms, commercial software, and widespread adoption in engineering practice. The developments in these fields, however, have been largely independent of each other, and the lack of synergy between them has caused the use of CAD models in CFD simulation (and, conversely, the conversion of CFD data into CAD models) to be rather cumbersome and error-prone processes. CAD systems facilitate the description of complex surface geometries, and CFD is often concerned with producing optimum flow characteristics over such geometries (turbine blades, aircraft wings, ship hulls, etc.) Nevertheless, precise CAD geometry is usually discretized to permit the flow analysis, and changes to the geometry (e.g., to improve lift/drag ratio) suggested by the analysis are communicated to the CAD system in discrete form and must be "smoothed out" there. CFD algorithms can be sensitive to the quality of geometrical boundary discretizations, and may require higher-order (spline) interpretations of such discrete data for stability and rapid convergence. Traditional CAD methods, such as the use of B-splines, are beginning to find acceptance (e.g., as shape = functions) in the mainstream CFD community. The purpose of this workshop is to stimulate discussion and promote interaction between the CAD and CFD communities, by bringing together small groups of leading researchers in these fields. The format will be such as to encourage in-depth exploration of important problems, current needs, and promising areas for collaborations in the CAD/CFD interface, rather than presentation of polished results in each field. The anticipated outcomes of the workshop include: (1) imparting to each field a clear idea of the current state-of-the-art in the other; (2) identifying important problems of mutual interest to the two fields, whose solution will offer a significant impact on the efficiency and reliability of their interaction; (3) promotion of interdisciplinary research projects between groups of attendees on problems that appear to be ripe for solution; and (4) compilation and publication of the findings of the workshop -- in, for example, the SIAM News. FundingThis workshop is sponsored by SIAM and the University of California, Davis with the support of the National Science Foundation. Final Program

Hallmark Inn The sleeping room rate is $75.00 per night plus 10% tax. The room block is from April 11 through April 14, 1999. Attendees are responsible for making their own hotel reservations. Please contact Dianne Wingate, Sales Manager or fax or mail the Hotel Reservation Form. Directions to Davis from Sacramento & San Francisco:FROM SACRAMENTO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: Take I-5 south toward Sacramento. Take the San Francisco I-80 exit and travel west for about 15 miles. In Davis, take the Richards Boulevard exit, and continue to the right under the railroad overpass. Make a right onto First Street. The Hallmark Hotel is situated immediately on your left, at the corner of First Street and F Street. FROM SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: From the airport take US 101 north toward toward I-280/San Francisco/San Bruno. From US 101, join I-80 toward Bay Bridge/Oakland. Remain on I-80 east all the way to Davis (about 70 miles). Take the Richards Boulevard exit in Davis and make a right at the end of the exit ramp. After passing under the railroad overpass, make a right onto First Street. The Hallmark Hotel is situated immediately on your left, at the corner of First Street and F Street. You can also catch a shuttle bus (Davis Airporter, 800-565-5153) from Sacramento International Airport to Davis. Ask the driver to drop you off at the Hallmark Hotel. Maps of the UC Davis campus will be available at the Hallmark Hotel check-in desk. Registration InformationRegistration FeesPreregistration Deadline: March 19, 1999
