Introduction

A great number of real-life systems, important for industrial applications and academic research, involve interactions amongst a range of physical phenomena (e.g. viscous, turbulent, thermal, chemical, mechanical, electromagnetic or plasma processes). In some systems the time and length scales of processes studied differ by orders of magnitude. Numerical simulation of these multi-physics and multi-scale problems requires the development of sophisticated models and methods for their integration, as well as efficient numerical algorithms and advanced computational techniques based on appropriate software/hardware technologies.

Because of the heavy computational demands of such simulations one needs proficient utilization of high-performance parallel distributed systems, such as efficient resource management. The complexity of modelling and data description, the large number and wide range of parameters under investigation, as well as the necessity to control and steer the simulation processes, motivate the development of problem solving environments, user interfaces and code integration schemas.

The workshop aims to bring together computational physicists, numerical specialists and computational scientists to push forward this challenging multi-disciplinary research field.

Topics

Specific topics may include (but are not limited to):

  • Modelling of multi-physics and/or multi-scale systems. Of particular interest are: Monte Carlo methods, particle-based methods, mesoscopic models such as cellular-automata, lattice gas and lattice-Boltzmann methods, computational fluid dynamics and computational solid mechanics;
  • Novel approaches to combine different models and scales in one problem solution;
  • Large-scale industrial and academical applications (e.g. time-dependent, 3D systems, multi-phase flows, fluid-structure interactions, chemical engineering, plasma physics, material science, bio-physics, automotive industry);
  • Advanced numerical methods for solving multi-physics problems;
  • Algorithms for parallel and distributed computing;
  • Software integration;
  • Problem solving environments; user interfaces; interactive software for modelling multi-physics problems;
  • Performance analysis of multi-physics simulation systems;
  • Special hardware for multi-physics simulation (e.g. Field Programmable Gate Arrays)
