But, patch-based AMR has its own difficulties. Patch-based AMR is intended to combine advantages of block- and cell-based AMR, i.e., the nature of structured meshes and sharp regions of refinement. Cell-based AMR treats cells cell by cell and thus loses the advantage of the nature of structured meshes. Block-based AMR sometimes over refines meshes. There are three kinds of adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) in structured meshes. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.Īdaptive mesh refinement for shocks and material interfacesĮnergy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB)ĭai, William Wenlong [Los Alamos National Laboratory The approach presented is implemented in the GeoClaw framework and compared to ADCIRC for Hurricane Ike along with observed tide gauge data and the computational cost of each model run. The application of adaptive mesh refinement algorithms substantially lowers the computational cost of a storm surge model run while retaining much of the desired coastal resolution. Currently numerical models exist that can resolve the details of coastal regions but are often too costly to be run in an ensemble forecasting framework without significant computing resources. In addition to being a USC Kaufman emeritus board member, Lythgoe has served on the Board of Directors for The Music Center, LA’s Best, UCLA Health System, The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, American Dance Movement and Britweek.An approach to utilizing adaptive mesh refinement algorithms for storm surge modeling is proposed. I think it is amazingly fitting for Nigel to be the follow up to our first-ever commencement speaker, Mikhail Baryshnikov, since they both represent the pinnacles of their professions.” “I can’t think of anyone better suited to send this talented class into the world than him. “From the very inception of USC Kaufman, Nigel has been such an important figure in the School’s success,” said Dean Robert Cutietta. Lythgoe also created National Dance Day to promote dance as part of a healthy, active lifestyle. ADM, a major funder of USC Kaufman’s outreach program Kaufman Connections, is a nonprofit organization that works to support access to dance education in the United States. He helped to establish the American Dance Movement, formerly known as the Dizzy Feet Foundation.
Throughout his career, Lythgoe has worked with Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby, Cyd Charisse, Chita Rivera and Shirley Bassey. To give the commencement speech for USC Kaufman’s Class of 2022 is right up there with those personal achievements. “I’ve received a PhD from Bedfordshire University in Fine Arts, an OBE from the Queen and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “I believe a commencement speech is a very important aspect of a graduate’s life,” said Lythgoe. In 2015, he established the Nigel Lythgoe Endowed Scholarship Fund, which provides critical scholarship to a USC Kaufman BFA student every year. Lythgoe is one of the original USC Kaufman Board of Councilors members and is the School’s inaugural emeritus board member. He is also the executive producer of “American Idol,” which has been nominated for nearly 70 Emmy Awards. Lythgoe is the co-creator, executive producer and judge on “So You Think You Can Dance,” which has won 11 Emmy Awards. The satellite commencement ceremony will take place at the University of Southern California’s Founders Park on Friday, May 13, 2022.
