MultiMat2019

The 9^th International Conference on Numerical Methods for Multi-Material Fluid Flow (MULTIMAT 2019) will push forward the state-of-the-art in the field of multi-phase and multi-material flow problems. Researchers from academic and/or laboratory institutions will focus their discussions on relevant numerical methods, including the analysis of such methods as well as the modeling of complex multi-material flows, which is essential for the investigation and development of new sources of energy, including inertial confinement fusion.

TOPICS 

• Lagrangian hydrodynamics 
• Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) methods 
• Eulerian methods 
• Radiation hydrodynamics
• Multi-material diffusion
• Mesh Generation methods, including mesh adaptation 
• Interface Reconstruction methods 
• Multiphase flows 
• Data Transfer Between meshes - remapping 
• Advanced Discretization methods
• High-order methods
• Numerical methods for complex constitutive models

Social Event
On Thursday 12 of September we will organize a guided tour to the city center of Trento with entrance to the “Buonconsiglio Castle”, to the ancient “Tridentum”, and to the “Trento Cathedral”.

Trento Card
The majority of the hotels in Trento offers for free to his guests the “Trento card”: with this card you have unlimited free access to the public transport and one free entrance to many museums of the city, https://www.discovertrento.it/en/trento-card
Please, in order to reach the city center by bus and to enter to the museums, we kindly ask you to bring your Trentocard with you during the guided tour.

About Trento and the Dolomites

The historical city of Trento is situated in the autonomous Italian region of Trentino - Alto-Adige, close to the world-famous mountains called Dolomites . Trento is very easy to reach by car or train from Austria (150 km south of Innsbruck) and from Verona (90 km north of Verona). The nearest and most convenient airport is Verona Airport, 15 minutes from the Verona train station. The region around Trento is of extraordinary beauty, with its unique mountains and lakes that offer the participants many exciting outdoor activities like skiing, hiking or climbing.
