MultiPhysics & Analysis

Computational Modeling of Loosely Coupled Interaction in Multiphysics Problems

In the last two workshops several topics were identified in the area of Multi-Physics and Analysis (MPA):

• The strategies used to solve the different problems (de-coupled, loosely coupled, strongly coupled);
• The identification of two main fields of study in the field of MPA (fluid-structure interaction and thermo-mechanics);
• The continuing need for good solution algorithms and computing strategies.
• The lack of benchmarks and existence of only a small number of validated software tools.

These topics render Multi-Physics problems too complex and wide ranging to study as a single phenomenon, such that it is proposed to separate the study of MPA problems into two workshops and study one single topic in each, namely:

• Loosely coupled analysis.
• Strongly coupled analysis.

This strategy will enable a highly focused area for discussion for the attendees of each of the workshops.

Workshop Objectives

• The aim of the workshop is to identify and discuss recent advances in loosely coupled problems. Accordingly, the specific objectives of the workshop are:
• To define a validation and verification strategy for loosely coupled simulation methods and software.
• To identify and select benchmark problems incorporating experimental results for validation of loosely coupled numerical simulation codes.
• To select existing and new numerical solution procedures for loosely coupled analysis using FEM.
• To identify industrial problems where loosely coupled analysis is needed.
