  • Efficient time integration schemes, including algebraic fractional step schemes for incompressible flows, adaptive time integration schemes and accuracy enhancement using artificial neural networks (PI: R. Codina).



  • Reduced order models in fluid mechanics (ROM). Development of POD and adaptivity/Artificial-Neural-Network based reduced order models, with special emphasis on stabilization issues. (PIs: R. Codina and S. Idelsohn).

  • Acoustic analogies in incompressible flows. Direct numerical simulation of sound, aero-acoustics in time dependent domains. With applications to the simulation of railway generated sound. (PIs: R. Codina and J. Baiges).

  • Topology optimization in fluid-structure interaction. In particular, focusing on finite strain cases which require a special treatment, and incompressible and nearly incompressible materials. (PIs: R. Codina and J. Baiges).
