MS96
Applications of Interface Methods for Multi-Physics Problems - Part IV of IV

9:45 AM - 11:45 AM
Room: Pacific III - B2

For Part III, see MS91

Many scientific and engineering problems require a detailed understanding of physics coupled across a dynamically moving interface separating multi-material or multiphase domains. This minisymposium focus on numerical methods in dealing with such problems. The presentations in this minisymposium will address the propagation of the interface geometry, the coupling across the interface of the interior physics on each side of the interface and the physics at the boundary defined by the moving interface.
