The
Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT) is an internationally recognised
organisation dedicated to advanced research and training on computational
solution of engineering problems, including the supervision of Ph.D. theses and
organisation of international courses and conferences. One of the
well-recognized numerical techniques in computational mechanics, Boundary
Element Method (BEM), has been initiated and is constantly developed at WIT. The
main objective of the institute is to provide a link between research engineers
and scientists and practising engineers in industry.
In
the past WIT has successfully participated in several European Commission
projects. Bellow some of the recent ones are listed:
1.
Numerical simulation of gas flow in porous media, with application to landfill,
(Contract No: CI1*_CT94-0077VE), International Scientific Cooperation, European
Commission, WIT principal investigator, 1995-1998.
2.
High performance simulation for interactive design, ESPRIT, European Commission,
(Project No: EP25000), 1998-2000.
3.
Low Risk Disposal Tehnology, (Contract No: EVG1-CT2000-00020), European
Commission, FP5 - Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Programme,
2001–2003.
Prof.
Carlos Brebbia
Prof.
Carlos Brebbia, received his PhD at Southampton University, England in 1968 and
worked at MIT, USA and the Central Electricity Research Laboratories, UK as well
as the University of Princeton, USA. He was appointed Lecturer at the University
of Southampton and a Senior Lecturer before becoming a Reader in Computational
Engineering. He became Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of
California at Irvine. Dr. Brebbia is now Director of Wessex Institute of
Technology.
He
has written over 300 scientific papers, is author or co-author of 13 books and
editor or co-editor of over 100 other books. Dr. Brebbia is an internationally
well known specialist in numerical methods, finite and boundary elements and in
the computer solution of engineering problems. He is the Editor of two
scientific journals and has carried out a great deal of consultancy work for the
engineering industry as well as having participated in many international
projects and conferences.
Dr.
Viktor Popov
Dr. Viktor Popov, PhD in environmental modelling. He is
head of the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Division and reader at WIT. He joined
the Wessex Institute of Technology, as a researcher, in 1993. His research
interests are linked to various physical processes in the field of environmental
research and protection and include: environmental risk assessment, fluid flow
and transport processes, hazardous waste management, heat transfer, acoustics,
etc. He is the principal author of one book and over thirty journal and
conference papers. He is a member of editorial board of one scientific journal
and is co-editor of two books.
