Focus on Mathematical and Computational Modelling with PDEs

Mathematical and computational modelling with Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is nowadays an essential tool for analysing, understanding and predicting phenomena in physics, biology, engineering, economics, social sciences and related fields. The applications cover a wide spectrum ranging from the modelling of the aerodynamical behaviour of an airfoil, to the simulation of the impact of a tsunami in a coastal area, or the study of fracture in epithelial cell sheets.
