Call for papers / Description

This mini-symposia is devoted to free surface, moving boundary and multi-phase flows. We invite all researchers working in the area to present their recent developments and applications.

The main topics are:

• Numerical algorithms for describing free surface, moving boundary and multi-phase flows.
• Interface tracking and interface capturing techniques.
• Fixed, moving and free meshes formulations.
• Volume of fluid, level-set, and eulerian-lagrangian methods.
• Surface reconstruction and renormalization operators.
• Surface tension, capillarity, and transport of surfactants.
• Experimental validation.
• Scientific and technological applications.
