Calibration of Flood Models

To predict floods using three dimensional solutions of the Navier‐Stokes equations is completely impractical because of computation time and the large numbers of parameters that would need to be specified for such a model. The models which are actually used to predict flooding are so simplified that the parameters do not necessarily match a physical value. Parameter values must be calibrated by assessing the ability of the model to predict past events for which we have data.

Double Pendulum

Submitted by IMAGINARY on Sa, 10/23/2012 - 23:53

A double pendulum is a combination of two penduli that create a chaotic behaviour. This exhibit is a real physical double pendulum built and planned by a metal constructor with the idea to be safe for exhibitions and to be as fluid and surprising as possible in its movements.

The German artist Hiltrud Heinrich used her pictures in own math art exhibitions. The pictures are of abstract and aesthetic nature. She also replicated the design of the SURFER pictures as patterns for patchwork quilts.

Stephan Klaus: Knots

Submitted by Stephan Klaus on Sa, 07/24/2012 - 21:27

Stephan Klaus is professor of topology and works at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach. He used SURFER to visualize knotted surfaces. He found a method to construct such polynomials by Fourier decomposition and algebraic variable elimination for every knot type.

Şu anda Almanya’da bir bioenformatik öğrencisi olan Valentina Galata, SURFER kullanmaya 2008 yılında, henüz lise öğrencisiyken başladı. Somut nesneleri SURFER’da tekrar modelleme konusunda uzmanlaştı. Meyveleri, tasarım nesnelerini ve doğa görüntülerini resmetmeyi sağlayan denklemler keşfetti. Genelde, küre, koni gibi temel geometrik şekillerin çeşitlemelerini, denklemlerini birbiriyle çarparak bir araya getirmektedir.
