Numerical methods for fluids with many capillary free boundaries

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Gerhard Dziuk
• Subject Area: Mathematics
• Term: from 2002 to 2010
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5469304

The aim of this project is the numerical simulation of incompressible flows with many topologically changing capillary free boundaries. We combine the expertise in numerical methods for the Navier-Stokes equations with the expertise in curvature approximation for interfaces defined by a level set function. It is not intended to study the situation where a free surface meets a solid boundary.
