Description

This session deals with algorithms, numerical techniques, and scientific or industrial applications involving multiphysics problems, i.e., problems where multiple physical fields are coupled.
Typical examples are: fluid-structure interaction, electro- and thermo- mechanical interaction, free surface problems, magneto hydro-dynamics fluid-dynamics with chemical reactions, hydro- and aero-elasticity. The session focuses, particularly, on: (i) those situations where the interaction between the different physical fields is fundamental; (ii) novel algorithms that treat this interaction in a special way; (iii) numerical analysis and modeling techniques employed in multiphysics, among others.
