============================================================================
> 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.

============================================================================
> 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)
