2 ANNOUNCEMENT OF Special Interest Group Multiphase Flow, South Germany

Dear Southbound Foamers interested in Multiphase Flow,

As announced by Ivana, the next Stammtisch takes place at the 5. of November. We felt that the Multiphase Special Interest Group was a little overcrowded and hence not very effective. We would now like to overcome this by "imposing" some structure in form of an agenda. Of course, everybody is welcome to participate and contribute.

  1. Introduction of the new concept of the Special Interest Group Multiphase Flow (15 min)
    1. Responsibilities:
      1. Free Surface Flow
      2. Two-Fluid-Method
      3. Particle based methods
    2. Wiki
  2. Technical work: (90 min)
    1. Testcases: what needs to be validated? Phenomenology versus Numerics? Who is interested? What validation basis is available right now? Which testcases are already on the harddisks
    2. To be added
  3. Questions/Troubleshooting (30 min)
  4. Feedback (5 min)


This is only a preliminary agenda, and we would like you, the group, to add more topics we can talk about. Let's see whether it flies!

So please contribute!
