Tony Humphries CRM & McGill University Montreal, Canada ------ Subject: Workshop on two-phase incompressible flows From: Anja Luettgens Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2007 09:41:01 +0100 The Department of Mathematics of RWTH Aachen organizes in collaboration with the SFB 540 ``Model based experimental analysis of kinetic phenomena in fluid multi-phase reactive systems'' a workshop: Two-phase incompressible flows: modeling aspects and methods for numerical simulation Date: 25.-27. june 2007. Location: RWTH-Aachen. The workshop should promote the exchange of new ideas and results related to modeling aspects and the development and application of efficient numerical methods for the simulation of two-phase incompressible flows. The topics include: surfactants and Marangoni effects, numerical treatment of surface tension, level set methods, adaptivite methods, mass conservation, parasitic currents, engineering applications.
