IMCS contributes to the 2025 Coupled Problems conference
27 May 2025
The XI International Conference on Coupled Problems in Science and Engineering (Coupled Problems 2025) provided an international forum for the presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art mathematical models, numerical methods, and computational techniques for solving multidisciplinary coupling problems in science and engineering. The conference aimed to advance the formulation and solution of real-world problems by adopting a comprehensive, multidisciplinary perspective that accounts for the complex couplings inherent in physical phenomena. This year’s conference was held on the island of Sardinia, Italy.
The Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (IMCS) contributed three scientific presentations:
- Max Firmbach: Block preconditioning for mixed-dimensional beam/solid coupling
- Dr.-Ing. Matthias Mayr: Scalability of algebraic multigrid methods for block matrices arising from monolithic multi-physics solvers
- Dr.-Ing. Ivo Steinbrecher: A mortar-type approach for asymptotically correct mixed-dimensional coupling of 1D beams and 3D solids
In addition, Dr.-Ing. Matthias Mayr co-organized a minisymposium entitled “Mixed-Dimensional Modeling: Discretizations, Solvers, and Multi-Physics Applications” in collaboration with Paolo Zunino (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) and Kent-Andre Mardal (Simula, Norway). The session brought together leading researchers in the field of mixed-dimensional modeling and fostered vibrant discussions among the 15 speakers and a highly engaged audience.
