Largest World Congress on Computational Mechanics in Munich
Last week, the combined 17th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM) and 10th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS) was held at the ICM – International Congress Center Messe München. With more than 5,000 participants, it turned out to be the by far largest congress in the field of computational mechanics and computational methods in applied sciences and engineering to date, attracting representatives from academia, government, and industry, encompassing all areas of engineering and science. Computational mechanics has become a cornerstone of modern scientific inquiry, driving solutions to some of the most advanced and complex challenges in engineering and beyond, and this enormous number of participants emphasized how this field is indeed thriving.
AdCo EngineeringGW was substantially involved in the congress, in particular with two out of four congress chairs also representing our company, among others. Furthermore, we contributed a presentation on “A Multiscale-Multiphysics Computational Method for Thermo-Fluid-Structure Interaction (TFSI) and Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (TEHL)” to the minisymposium on “Stabilized and Variational-Multiscale Methods for Fluid Mechanics”, one of the various minsymposia which exhibited the broad thematical spectrum of the congress.
