Information About

Oscar Buneman

Buneman developed theories and simulations of collisionless dissipation of currents, called the Buneman Instability . This is an example of Anomalous Resistivity or Absorption . It is ''anomalous'' because the phenonomenon does not depend on collisions. Buneman advanced elliptic equation solver methods and their associated applications (as well as for the Fast Fourier Transform s). In 1934 , Buneman built a Differential Analyzer at Manchester with Phyllis Lockett , David Copeley , and Douglas Hartree .

Oscar Buneman died near Stanford University .
