CFD-based multi-scale/multi-physics simulations in engineering and biomedical applications

Abstract:
Multi-Scale simulations became more and more important over the last years. The simulation techniques in the individual fields are mature, while the step closer to reality often means to include more than one regime into a coupled application. With respect to code development and parallelization, this leads to more modular environment, encapsulating the information about the given regime while allowing for interaction between the scales and physical phenomena. The talk will show examples from different application in automotive, aerospace as well as biomedical fields. They all use coupling environments to allow for the strong or lose interaction in the respectively appropriate way.
