  • Consistent extensions of mimetic techniques to coupled problems [lecture]
• Blair Perot, University of Massachusetts Amherst
  • Discrete Calculus Methods and Their Application in Fluid Dynamics [lecture]
  • The Relationship between Discrete Calculus Methods and other Numerical Methods that Capture Physics Well [lecture]

One-minute poster session: All participants were invited to present a poster concerning their research. Every presenter of a poster received a one-minute slot in the conference programme (in a plenary session) to attract the attention to his or her poster. See the PDF files the one-minute session.

The following posters were rated the best by a jury consisting of the keynote speakers under the leadingship of Barry Koren:

1. Paulien van Slingerland (TUD-EWI) A Preconditioner for CG that Does Not Need Symmetry	2. Reijer Idema (TUD-EWI) Power Flow	3. René Hiemstra TUD-LR Structure preserving IsoGeometric Methods An application to Hodge decomposition

Support: The Conferences of the Dutch-Flemish Numerical Analysis Communities are held yearly, organised by the Werkgemeenschap Scientific Computing (WSC). Support is provided by the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). Financial support for this conference is provided by the 3TU Applied Mathematics Institute (3TU.AMI), the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), and Research Foundation Flanders (FWO-Vlaanderen).

Organising committee 2011:
Barry Koren (chair), Jason Frank, Kees Oosterlee, Rob Stevenson, Margreet Nool (secretary)

Number of participants: 138
Number of posters: 55
