✦ Synopsis

This paper is an overview of some of the methods developed by the Team for Advanced Flow Simulation and Modeling (THAFSM) [http://www.mems.rice.edu/TAFSM/] to support ¯ow simulation and modeling in a number of Targeted Challenges''. The Targeted Challenges'' include unsteady ¯ows with interfaces, ¯uid±object and ¯uid±structure interactions, airdrop systems, and air circulation and contaminant dispersion. The methods developed include special numerical stabilization methods for compressible and incompressible ¯ows, methods for moving boundaries and interfaces, advanced mesh management methods, and multi-domain computational methods. We include in this paper a number of numerical examples from the simulation of complex ¯ow problems.
