The goal of this conference is to bring together mathematicians, physicists,
and engineers interested in the developments and applications of the finite
volume method.


Description:

 

The finite volume method in its various variants is a space discretization  

technique for partial differential equations based on the fundamental  

physical principle of conservation. Implemented as density-based or  

pressure-based (SIMPLE family of algorithms) method, it has been used  

successfully in many applications including fluid dynamics,  

magnetohydrodynamics, structural analysis, nuclear physics, and  

semiconductor theory.  

 

The finite volume methods preserve qualitative properties of continuous  

problems at the discrete level, such as conservation, monotonicity, etc. This  

structural approach to the discretization of partial differential equations  

becomes particularly important for multi-physics and multi-scale  

applications.  

 

The goal of this conference is to bring together mathematicians, physicists,  

and engineers interested in the developments and applications of the finite  

volume method.
