2.  Objectives

 The field of interest of this Project is Fluid and Gas Dynamics, including laminar, turbulent or multiphase flows and free surface problems.

 The goal of this program is to develop research contributions in the following areas:

1) development and analysis of mathematical modeling of fluid flows of practical (industrial)  relevance,
2) their simulation by modern numerical methods,
3) set-up and analysis of effective numerical algorithms in the context of advanced  parallel computing.
 Our aim is to clarify and highlight the mathematical foundations of differential models and numerical methods, to achieve a better understanding of existing models and methods, as well as to enhance the development of new ones.
Application of these tools to the simulation of flow problems of industrial interest will be a constant concern of our action.
 Special attention will be drawn on the coupling of heterogeneous models, at both physical and numerical levels: in this  respect, the coupling between fluids and solids, between fluids at different regimes, or different numerical models, will  be one of the qualifying aspects of this program.
