The focus of the ICMMES Conference series is on
mesoscopic/kinetic methods for computational mechanics in
its broadest sense and the computational mathematics and
algorithms required for these new methods. The new methods
and algorithms will enable us to carry out challenging
large-scale scientific computations for systems of great
significance in science and engineering. Specific
application areas of mesoscopic/kinetic methods include, but
are not limited to:

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), including Direct
Numerical Simulations (DNS), Large-Eddy Simulations (LES),
and turbulence based on kinetic approach; 

Rheology for complex fluids, such as suspensions,
multi-phase and multi-component fluids, non-Newtonian
fluids, smart fluids such as electro-rheological (ER) and
magneto-rheological (MR) fluids;
    
Biologic-fluids, Lab on a Chip systems, and microfluidics;
    
Micro/nano-scale phenomena involving non-continuum,
surface-dominated, low-Reynolds-number, non-Newtonian,
multi-scale and multi-physics effects;
    
Thermal-chemically nonequilibrium flows with March-number
and/or Knudsen-number effects, and reactive flows;
    
Computational mechanics of solids and structures;
    
Computational multi-physics dynamics, such as flow-structure
interactions;
    
Computational mathematics and algorithms for High
Performance Computing (HPC) and tailored for challenging
applications;
    
Novel computational hardware for large-scale scientific
computing including GP-GPUs, FPGAs, etc.


OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the ICMMES Conferences are

to bring together researchers and practitioners from
academia, research institutions and industry to exchange
experiences, disseminate up-to-date information and explore
new opportunities in the field

to expose young or new researchers to the state of the art
in the field by lectures and short courses of top
international experts


AREAS OF INTEREST

The conference will focus on computational methods for
challenging engineering problems based on mesoscopic
methods, including (but not limited to) the lattice
Boltzmann equation (LBE), lattice-gas cellular automata
(LGCA), discrete velocity models (DVM), gas-kinetic schemes
(GKS), dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), and
smooth-particle hydrodynamics (SPH).
