Objectives:
The goal of the symposium is to bring together mathematicians, physicists and engineers who are concerned with Finite Volume Techniques in a wide context. Examples for the broad field of applications are fluid dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, structural analysis or nuclear physics.
A closer look reveals many interesting phenomena and mathematical or numerical difficulties, such as true error analysis and adaptivity, modelling of multi-phase phenomena or fitting problems, stiff terms in convection/diffusion equations and sources. To overcome existing problems and to find solution methods for future applications requires many efforts and always new developments.
The main issue of the symposium is thus a critical look at the subject. New ideas may be presented, even if they have not yet shown full success. The demonstration of limits or drawbacks of methods is explicitly welcome.
Contributions may put main emphasis on theoretical as well as applied topics. Most welcome are contributions, concerned with unsolved or not yet fully solved problems and possible new attempts.
Topics of Main Interest:
Among the wide range of topics main emphasis is put on the following
* New schemes and methods
* New fields of application
* Non Homogeneous systems
* Convergence and stability analysis
* Global error analysis
* Purely multidimensional difficulties
* Limits of methods
* Complex geometries and adaptivity
* Complexity, efficiency and large computations
* Distributive computation
* Multi- phase problems and fitting
* Combustion problems
* Climate and Ocean modelling, Atmospheric pollution
