The focus of this proposal is the transfer of mathematical knowledge to other areas of science, technology and industry, through a structured research center specially tailored for this purpose. All mathematical knowledge is ultimately applicable, if not directly, through other areas of knowledge. In some areas the application of mathematics is almost immediate. However, the practical imp…
The numerical simulation of applications in aeroelasticity and free surface flows share the following features: the need for the geometrical representation of complex domains, mesh manipulation and mesh interpolation. These problems are dealt with in the field of geometric modeling. On the other hand a common aspect to most fluid mechanics studies is that numerical and experimental resear…
The numerical solution of viscous fluid flow possessing free surfaces has become possible due to the recent advances in computer technology and the development of new numerical techniques for solving partial diferencial equations. Many practical problems can be modelled as free surface problems, for instance, injection moulding, thin film flows in the condensing process and molten iron an…

This work is concerned with the development of novel computational techniques for simulating flows of complex fluids with free surfaces. The governing equations for flows of liquid crystals are analysed and a finite difference method for solving them is developed. The log-conformation tensor technique is applied to flows governed by the constitutive differential models Oldroyd-B, Giesekus…
