The main objective of the EFVPM project is to develop the meshless Finite-Volume Particle Method (FVPM) scheme in order to simulate turbulent flows on time-dependent geometries.

Through the investigation of the modelling error induced by a turbulence model, it is expected that the research will provide insight into the complex multiscale physics of turbulent flows and improve our understanding of fluid turbulence.

The range of applications of the extended FVPM that will arise from this varies from standard benchmark issues to real industrial challenges involving time-dependent domains or fluid-structure interactions. Also the extension of the FVPM scheme to magneto-hydrodynamics or to three dimensions can be considered as further applications.

The project will drive and promote progress in scientific computing, fluid dynamics, and nonlinear mathematical physics.
