AMSTERDAM 

FOCUS

The focus of the Conference series is on mesoscopic / kinetic methods (e.g. LBE, DVM, GKS, and SPH) for computational mechanics in its broadest sense. Specific areas include, but are not limited to, mesoscopic / kinetic methods applied for:

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), including Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), Large-Eddy Simulations (LES), and macroscopic as well as kinetic turbulence modelling; rheology for complex fluids, such as suspensions, multi-phase and multi-component fluids, non-Newtonian fluids, electro-rheological (ER) and magneto-rheological (MR) fluids (smart fluids) and bio-fluids; nano-scale phenomena involving non-continuum, surface-dominated, low-Reynolds-number, non-Newtonian, multi-scale and multi-physics effects; computational mechanics of solids and structures; computational multi-physics dynamics, such as flow-structure interactions; algorithms for High Performance Computing (HPC) engineering applications.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Conferences are

- to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, research institutions and industry to exchange experiences, disseminate up-to-date information and explore new opportunities in the field

- to expose young or new researchers to the state of the art in the field by lectures and short courses of top international experts
