Overview
We propose develop advanced parallel geometric numerical algorithms and software for
simulating complex flows with dynamic interfaces. The development scalable, parallel high­
accuracy algorithms simulating such flows poses enormous challenges, particularly systems
with thousands processors. Wewill the resulting tools simulate blood flow artificial heart
devices. This application provides excellent testbed the methods develop: simulation­
based artificial organ design extremely computationally challenging and
of critical societal
importance. Flows with dynamic interfaces arise many fluid­solid and fluid­fluid interaction problems, are
among the most difficult computational problems continuum mechanics. Examples abound the
