Pat,

You mentioned that Dr. Carey was interested in referring to users of=20
libMesh.  Here are some that I can think of off the top of my head.

(I've also sent this email to the libMesh mailing lists in hopes anyone=20
I have not mentioned will speak up :-) )

1.)  Technische Universit=E4t Hamburg-Harburg - There are a number of=20
collaborators in Hamburg.  This group is responsible for the infinite=20
elements and complex number support in the library, among many other=20
things.  I believe their primary application is acoustics and, more=20
recently, fluid-structure interaction and the resulting acoustics=20
environment.

2.) Cornell - I'm not sure to what extent Varis has used the library=20
since our discussions this summer, but certainly our foot is in the door.

3.) University of Alaska, Geophysical Institute - libMesh is used here=20
for glacier modeling.  Recent improvements for library I/O have been=20
provided from this group.

4.) Institut f=FCr Organische Chemie, T=FCbingen, Germany - libMesh is be=
ing=20
evaluated for inclusion in the EChem++ software package=20
(http://www.echem.uni-tuebingen.de/~bs/echem/software/EChem++/echem++.sht=
ml).
EChem++ is an open-source problem solving environment for problems in=20
electrochemistry.  With luck, libMesh will be integrated into this=20
environment and will be used to solve relevant PDEs for this class of=20
applications.

5.) NASA - currently libMesh is used for a lot of pre/post-processing=20
for hypersonic CFD applications.  The library is also being used to=20
develop a rapid-turnaround analysis tool to analyze local heating=20
effects caused by catalytic mismatches on the Orbiter surface.  This=20
could result, for example, from a localized repair that employs a=20
different than the nominal thermal protection system.  The methodology=20
is essentially based on a two-layer approach, and libMesh is used to=20
handle complex surface meshes in 3D and the associated computations on=20
these manifolds.

To all on the list, please let me know what you are working on so I can=20
include you.
