This is my home page. My name is Charles Reid and I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Utah. My CV is available here: http://files.charlesmartinreid.com/curriculumvitae.pdf
Work
My Ph.D. research involves Combustion and CFD (also see lectures). I'm using large eddy simulation to simulate coal gasification, and I've implemented a dispersed phase model called the direct quadrature method of moments to track particles in an Eulerian framework.
More details about my research are available on the Presentations page. This page also contains other presentations (partially-related to my research) that I've given.
- UPDATE: I recently presented at the 2010 AIChE Meeting. My slides are available here: Presentations#2010 AIChE Annual Meeting
During the summer of 2010, I organized a series of workshops on Scientific Computing, with an emphasis on using the Uintah Computational Framework. The abstracts, slides, and videos are contained on the Presentations page.
Programming and Computers
Much of my work and many of my hobbies involve computers. I use a variety of different tools, and I have included pages for the various languages, operating systems, and programs that I use. These are included below.
Programs I Use
I have compiled a list of Programs I Use.
I compile programs from source code whenever possible, as I believe it (a) leads to a much better understanding of the program, the operating system, and what files go where; and (b) discourages the use of Windows.
To create this webpage, I skinned MediaWiki, a really nice PHP program for wikis (the same one used by Wikipedia). I use DynDNS and host it myself.
Operating systems
I primarily use Unix-based operating systems.
My primary operating system is Mac OS X (Leopard).
I run a personal Linux server, running Ubuntu.
I keep a version of Windows in a small cage (also called a virtual computer, I use VirtualBox) and only let it out when necessary.
Languages
I use the document typesetting language LaTeX, usually through a nice front-end like LyX.
I use C++ often, as part of my research work.
I also use Python, which is an interesting cross between shell languages like Bash and Matlab, and more complex object-oriented languages like C++.
