Special Session on:
Advances in Algorithms for Three-Dimensional Incompressible Flow

Conveners:

Bill Layton, University of Pittsburgh
Chris Kees, Coastal and Hydraulics Lab, US Army Engineer Research and Develoment Center

Description:

This session is focused on innovative algorithms for incompressible flows. Important challenges in these flows include coupling with other effects (and uncoupling from them algorithmically), turbulence, boundary effects and the scale required in many computations.

This session encourages submissions that (1) clearly delineate difficulties or limitations with accepted approaches to flow simulations, (2) present new algorithmic ideas that give promise to overcome such difficulties, or (3) give a precise analytical or computational diagnosis of the (previously not understood) mechanism for the computational bottleneck.
