The finite volume method in its various variants is a space
discretization 
technique for partial differential equations based on the
fundamental 
physical principle of conservation. Implemented as
density-based or 
pressure-based (SIMPLE family of algorithms) method, it has
been used 
successfully in many applications including fluid dynamics, 
magnetohydrodynamics, structural analysis, nuclear physics, and 
semiconductor theory. 

The finite volume methods preserve qualitative properties of
continuous 
problems at the discrete level, such as conservation,
monotonicity, etc. This 
structural approach to the discretization of partial
differential equations 
becomes particularly important for multi-physics and
multi-scale 
applications. 

The goal of this conference is to bring together
mathematicians, physicists, 
and engineers interested in the developments and
applications of the finite 
volume method.
