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 Kees Vuik:


1. Wybe Rozema (RUG) Symmetry-preserving methods for compressible flow	2. Michael Abdel Malik (Tue) Moment closure approximations for the Boltzmann equation	3. Elena Gagarina (UT) Symplectic Time Discontinuous Galerkin Discretizations

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), Shell Global Solutions International B.V., the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), the Nonlinear Dynamics of Natural Systems(NDNS+), VORtech BV, the scientific software engineers (VORtech),

Organising committee 2013: Harald van Brummelen (chair), Hans Kraaijevanger, Stefan Vandewalle, Jaap van der Vegt, Margreet Nool (secretary)
