BIS’2017 – Full day working session on “Level-set methods, parallel computing and uncertainty quantification: Techniques and Applications” – 9 June 2017

Sutardja Dai Hall (SDH) Building, Meeting room 238

This full day working session brings together -but not only- researchers involved in the Inria@SiliconValley theme “New Computation & Data Analysis Approaches“.

Organizers

Frederic Gibou, UC Santa Barbara

Clair Poignard, Inria

Overview

Several problems that arise in science and engineering can be formulated as a front evolution between two (or more) phases. A myriad of examples are found in materials science, in fluid dynamics and in biomedicine. The difficulty in solving such problems comes from the fact that 1) the interface location must be computed as part of the solution to the underlying equations; 2) parallel and adaptive mesh refinement techniques are often needed to capture small length scale and 3) it is important to consider uncertainty quantification.

In this workshop the focus will be given to recent advances in numerical and computational methods for interface problems and their applications. In particular, we would like to encourage the discussion of methods that are based on level set methods, parallel computing and uncertainty quantification and their applications to a variety of engineering and science problems.

This workshop will cover a broad range of topics in the mathematics and other quantitative aspects of interface problems. Overall, this event will offer an excellent opportunity for researchers to learn about a wide variety of recent developments in computational methods as well as their applications, and to stimulate interactions between Inria and Californian institutions. In particular, we intend to invite a broad range of interdisciplinary participants, with backgrounds in mathematics, physics, biology, and engineering.
