Numerical Modeling of Fluids and Structures at the 9th International Conference on Large-Scale Scientific Computations (LSSC) in Sozopol, Bulgaria from June 3-7, 2013.
The investigators and his colleagues are organizing a special session on Numerical Modeling of Fluids and Structures at the 9th International Conference on Large-Scale Scientific Computations (LSSC) in Sozopol, Bulgaria from June 3-7, 2013. This minisymposium focuses on developing, investigating, and applying fundamental mathematical theories and advanced modeling and simulation techniques to various multiphysics and multiscale problems, especially fluid-structure interactions. Key scientific questions addressed in this session have a wide range of applications, including magnetorheological fluids, aerodynamics, biomedical applications, micro-electro-mechanical systems, and ground water modeling.
This special session supports participation of students, postdocs, and junior researchers from the United States, who are working in areas related to the modeling and simulation of fluids, structures, and their interactions. The workshop environment promotes contacts between researchers from the United States and other countries, including theorists and experimentalists from applied mathematics, computational science and engineering. Mutually beneficial discussions between junior and senior researchers and mathematicians and engineers are expected. The special session is mainly organized by junior researchers and, along with other young participants, makes their research highly visible to the rest of the scientific community, providing them the access to various application fields for which they can contribute many advancements.
The special session focused on developing, investigating, and applying fundamental mathematical theories and advanced modeling and simulation techniques to various multiphysics and multiscale problems, especially in fluid-structure interactions. The primary objective was to bring together researchers to advocate the development of newly integrated modeling and simulation techniques that properly address the fundamental difficulties of multiphysics and multiscale problems. These include mathematical modeling of multiphysics and multiscale problems, robust numerical schemes, fast and efficient linear and nonlinear solvers, and model validation. Participants from the United States were given the opportunity to present their research related to the multiphysics and multiscale problems, to communicate and interact with leading expects from other countries, and to initiate potential collaborations. The special sessions were held during the 9th International Conference on Large-Scale Scientific Computations (LSSC). This is one of the biggest international conferences during the summer. During the last eight conferences, there were an average of 150 attendees from numerous countries across the world. This included, 24 leading experts from the United States serving on the scientific committee. Several minisymposiums organized by researchers from United States have been taken place in the LSSC since 1999, including a wide range of topics such as flow simulation in porous media, molecular modeling and simulation, image processing, Monte Carlo methods, computational mechanics, reduced order modeling, and biomedical multiscale problems. The special sessions organized under this project advocated the development and advances for such systems and focused on key open questions in fluid structure interactions. It is expected to lead to new ideas and collaborations in the development of analytic results and simulation technologies for a wide range of applications. For instance, magnetorheological fluids, aerodynamics, biomedical applications, automotive systems, micro-electro-mechanical systems, metal hydroforming, ground water modeling, and electromagnetically-driven pipe mixers are all potential applications. This project supported participation of students, postdocs, and junior and senior researchers from the United States, who are working in areas related to the modeling and simulation of fluid structure interaction problems. Through this support, the workshop stimulated interactions between related researchers from the United States and other countries, including theorists and experimentalists from applied mathematics and computational science. Mutually beneficial discussions between junior and senior researchers, US and international researchers, and mathematicians and engineers were held. A main aim of the workshop was to draw interest from young researchers and students to conduct studies in these important research areas. In addtion, both PIs, who are junior researchers at US institutions, received a significant and tremendous benefit through organizing such an international event.
