Description:

The topics of interest in this Session are related to the development of numerical or computational techniques, as well as to the application of consolidated techniques to problems in the Fluid Mechanics environment. This Session is devoted to the development or study of numerical techniques based on finite elements, finite volumes, finite differences, boundary elements, particle methods, and any other that allows to obtain a numerical solution of boundary value problems, initial value problems, or mixed ones. Likewise, the areas of applications include: aeronautics, astrophysics, biology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, bio-mechanics, process engineering, environmental engineering, hydraulic, meteorology, oceanography, geology, acoustics, and combustion, among others. This variety of applications allows addressing topics such as numerical simulations of flows at high Reynolds number, involving a turbulence modelling by means of different techniques (DNS, LES, RANS, hybrid RANS/LES or other models), flows at low Reynolds number (Stokes flows), multi-phase flows, transport of species, wind, flows in porous media, or microfluidics. In all of the cases, the validation of the numerical models against analytical, semi-analytical and/or experimental results, the suitable calibration of them, and their application to real cases are also important topics in this Session.
