Description:

 

The focus of the ICMMES Conference series is on 

mesoscopic/kinetic methods for computational mechanics in 

its broadest sense and the computational mathematics and 

algorithms required for these new methods. The new methods 

and algorithms will enable us to carry out challenging 

large-scale scientific computations for systems of great 

significance in science and engineering. Specific 

application areas of mesoscopic/kinetic methods include, but 

are not limited to: 

 

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), including Direct 

Numerical Simulations (DNS), Large-Eddy Simulations (LES), 

and turbulence based on kinetic approach;  

 

Rheology for complex fluids, such as suspensions, 

multi-phase and multi-component fluids, non-Newtonian 

fluids, smart fluids such as electro-rheological (ER) and 

magneto-rheological (MR) fluids; 

     

Biologic-fluids, Lab on a Chip systems, and microfluidics; 

     

Micro/nano-scale phenomena involving non-continuum, 

surface-dominated, low-Reynolds-number, non-Newtonian, 

multi-scale and multi-physics effects; 

     

Thermal-chemically nonequilibrium flows with March-number 

and/or Knudsen-number effects, and reactive flows; 

     

Computational mechanics of solids and structures; 

     

Computational multi-physics dynamics, such as flow-structure 

interactions; 

     

Computational mathematics and algorithms for High 

Performance Computing (HPC) and tailored for challenging 

applications; 

     

Novel computational hardware for large-scale scientific 

computing including GP-GPUs, FPGAs, etc. 

 

OBJECTIVES 

 

The objectives of the ICMMES Conferences are 

 

to bring together researchers and practitioners from 

academia, research institutions and industry to exchange 

experiences, disseminate up-to-date information and explore 

new opportunities in the field 

 

to expose young or new researchers to the state of the art 

in the field by lectures and short courses of top 

international experts 

 

AREAS OF INTEREST 

 

The conference will focus on computational methods for 

challenging engineering problems based on mesoscopic 

methods, including (but not limited to) the lattice 

Boltzmann equation (LBE), lattice-gas cellular automata 

(LGCA), discrete velocity models (DVM), gas-kinetic schemes 

(GKS), dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), and 

smooth-particle hydrodynamics (SPH).
