Contents of the Workshop:
Hybrid/multiscale simulation methods represent a compromise between extremely high molecular resolution and affordable computational cost and are used in various applications, including slip prediction, nanoscale fluid flow, or polymer motion.
In this workshop, we strive for a focused collaboration and exchange between researchers from physics, computer science and engineering to ensure codesign for hybrid flow simulation models, algorithms and software.
The goals of this interdisciplinary workshop comprise a review of achievements in each sub-discipline, discussion of potential challenges and pointing out ways how to resolve them at this early stage.
Points to be addressed comprise:
- Physics: What hybrid simulation model approaches are available nowadays? What can be expected for coupling schemes in future? What are potential issues/limitations? How will the optimal hybrid models translate into algorithms and software?
- Computer Science: What would software design for hybrid simulations (at this early stage) look like? Which kinds of algorithms can we cope with efficiently? How about HPC aspects (e.g., heterogeneous architectures and expected scaling behavior)?
- Engineering: What tools do we need? Which scenarios are of interest now and in future? What can/can't we already simulate and predict? What are the bottlenecks and limitations from the application's point of view?
Invited Plenary Speakers:

Structure:
On day 1, invited speakers who have long-standing expertise in the sub-fields and in interdisciplinary collaborations present the state-of-the-art and recent developments in the field of hybrid simulation methods. There will further be a short introduction round in which all participants present themselves (1 slide/2min. per participant). In the later afternoon, a poster session is planned.
Day 2 continues with further presentations, open and plenary discussions to determine issues in and at the interplay of physics, computer science and engineering and to identify future, potentially interdisciplinary work and research directions.
Registration and Funding:
The number of participants is limited (ca. 25 participants). For more details on registration and potential funding support as well as to register for the workshop, please click here.
