Computational Methods for Coupled Problems in Science and Engineering-COUPLED PROBLEMS 2009
8-11 June 2009, Ischia Island, Italy. The objective of Coupled Problems 2009 is to present and discuss state of the art, mathematical methods, numerical methods and computational techniques for solving coupling problems of multidisciplinary character in science and engineering. Emphasis will be given on showing the potential of new computational methods for solving practical multidisciplinary problems of industrial interest.
Previous editions on the conference were held in the Island of Santorini, Greece (2005) and Ibiza, Spain (2007), Coupled Problems 2007 attracted some 180 participants. The goal of COUPLED PROBLEMS 2009 is to make a step forwards in the formulation and solution of real life problems with a multidisciplinary vision accounting for all the complex couplings involved in the physical description of the problem.
Location:
ISCHIA is the biggest island in the Gulf of Naples, a volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, at the northern end of the Gulf. The history of the known as "green island" is marked by earthquakes and eruptions. Ischia is the visible part of a volcanic field. Its volcanic activities began more than 130,000 years ago. The highest peak, volcanic, is the Mount Epomeo (788 meters).
