Focus topic
Exploring Frontiers in Computational and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (CFD/GFD)

Time evolution of the bottom salinity during the Major Baltic Inflow in December 2014.
The fields of Computational and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (CFD/GFD) are pivotal in addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time, from understanding ocean currents and predicting hurricanes to modeling the global climate system, simulating heat transfer in high-energy batteries, and analyzing turbulent blood flow in the human heart.

This session invites researchers to delve into fluid dynamics from multiple perspectives, blending real-world applications with foundational studies in discretization theory, numerical analysis, and robust computational schemes. We aim to spotlight cutting-edge techniques, including high-performance computing (CPU/GPU), advanced turbulence modeling, and efficient numerical solvers - critical tools for achieving accurate and reliable simulations in CFD/GFD.

Recognizing the inherent complexity of CFD/GFD problems - often involving large-scale, coupled systems of partial differential equations - this session also seeks contributions that explore the integration of machine learning for predictive modeling, hybrid approaches combining traditional numerical solvers with AI-driven solutions, and innovative software tools for enhanced computational efficiency.

Our primary goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among members of the MMS network, providing a platform for exchanging insights, tackling open challenges, and sharing lessons learned across institutions. We particularly encourage young researchers to present their work, offering fresh perspectives and engaging in meaningful discussions.

Contributions are welcome from diverse areas, including:

  • Advancements in oceanographic and meteorological fluid dynamics,
  • Solutions to open problems in CFD,
  • Innovations in numerical methods and software tools,
  • Applications in industrial processes, such as heat transfer and fluid flow.

Whether your research focuses on ocean circulation, weather systems, industrial applications of CFD, or the development of novel computational methodologies, we invite you to join this dynamic, interdisciplinary conversation.
