The aim of this
research group is the investigation of liquid-vapour flows, in
particular the development of new more efficient and accurate software
tools and the improvement of existing tools for simulations. Vapour
together with liquid phases occur in many applications like cavitation
problems, two phase flow in micro devices, cooling and boiling
processes and breakup of liquid jets. Since e.g. turbine blades and
ship propellers can be destroyed by cavitation this research is of high
industrial interest.
An important and
necessary issue in this project is the
interdisciplinary cooperation between mathematicians and
engineers on the one hand and the cooperation between French and German
groups on the other hand. The first issue is of vital importance since
mathematicians need information about relevant and realistic models,
about valid regimes for different models, the access to experimental
data, and characteristic behaviour of solutions. Furthermore, engineers
will benefit from modern and efficient techniques for acceleration of
numerical algorithms (multigrid, adaptivity in space and time), their
mathematical justification, rigorous results for model problems, and
the construction of exact solutions for benchmarking.
