Announcement and Call for Papers for the

First International Symposium on

Finite Volumes for Complex Applications

- Problems and Perspectives -

July, 15-18, 1996 / Rouen, France

Objectives:

The goal of the symposium is to bring together mathematicians, physicians, engineers and numericists, who are concerned with Finite Volume Techniques in a wide context. Examples for the broad field of applications are fluid dynamics, solutions to the Maxwell equations structural analysis or nuclear physics.

 A closer look reveals many interesting phenomena and mathematical or numerical difficulties, such as true error analysis and adaptivity, modelling of multi-phase phenomena or fitting problems, stiff terms in convection/diffusion equations and sources. To overcome existing problems and to find solution methods for future applications requires many efforts and courageous new developments.

 The main issue of the symposium is thus a critical look at the subject. New ideas may be presented, even if they did not yet show full success. The demonstration of errors or limits of methods is explicitly welcome. Contributions may put main emphasis on theoretical as well as applied topics. Most welcome are contributions, concerned with unsolved or not yet fully satisfying solved problems and possible new attempts. 

Topics of Main Interest:

Among the wide range of topics main emphasis is put on the following:

 
  • Stiff systems of equations 
  • Systems with source terms 
  • Global error analysis 
  • Multi- phase problems and fitting 
  • Water Waves 
  • Complex geometries and adaptivity 
  • Chaotic problems (turbulence, ignition, mixing, ...) 
  • Complexity, efficiency and large computations 
  • Limits of methods and errors 
  • New fields of application
