Dear MULTIMAT 2011 Conference participants,

As promised, we are able to organize a Special Issue of Computers and Fluids on occasion of the 2011 MULTIMAT Conference in Arcachon, France. We are glad to invite you to submit technical papers to the special issue. A list of requirements to be respected during the submission process follows below, please make sure to read every aspect of it very carefully.

-In order to prepare this Special Issue, if you intend to submit a manuscript can you inform us as soon as possible e-mailing at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it the authors name and the title of the manuscript.

- The deadline for submission is December 31st, 2011. Due to the necessity of ensuring a timely review & publication process of the papers, this deadline will be enforced with no exception.

- In addition, a maximum of 15 pages including pictures and references is fixed for the total length of the submitted papers. This requirement was strongly recommended by the Editor in Chief of the Journal.

- The article must be written using Elsevier's document class 'elsarticle'. The Elsevier 'elsarticle' LaTeX style file package (including detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained from the Quickguide: http://www.elsevier.com/latex.

- Finally, to ensure the quality of the special issue, the submitted papers will undergo the regular review process.

- To submit your paper log in (or register, in case you do not have an account) to the CAF  website at the link http://ees.elsevier.com/caf/


- To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue we are editing, it is important that you select “Special Issue: Multimat11” when you reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

- If you encounter technical difficulties while using the system (that are unrelated to the workflow or peer review process), please contact the Author Support department via e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Conference to be held at Palais des congrès in Arcachon (France) on September 5 - 9, 2011 (Monday - Friday)

MISSION & TOPICS

The conference follows on from the successful meetings held in Paris in 2002, in Oxford in 2005, in Prague in 2007 and in Pavia in 2009. It aims at bringing together researchers from universities and research labs to discuss the state of the art for multi-material hydrodynamics simulations. It will focus on relevant numerical methods, on the analysis of such methods and on the modeling of complex multi-material flows which is essential for research dealing with new sources of energy as inertial confinement fusion.

CONGRESS TOPICS

Mathematical and physical aspects of:

• Lagrangian Hydrodynamics
• Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) Methods
• Eulerian Methods
• Mesh-free Methods
• Interface Reconstruction Methods
• Multiphase Flows
• Numerical Methods for Heat Conduction
• Numerical Methods for Complex Constitutive Models

The meeting will be held in Arcachon, in the Aquitaine region (France). Located in a protected bay on the southwest coast of France, Arcachon is the seaside resort of the city of Bordeaux and was recently listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. Arcachon is a city renowned for its wonderful coastline, arts and 1920's buildings.
