Minisymposium description:
------------------------- 


Multi-phase and multi-material flows have many important industrial
applications including casting and solidification, liquid metal
reactors, and jet deposition.  These flows present unique challenges due
to the dynamic material interfaces and multiple equations of state. This
minisymposium seeks to address recent advances in the the modeling and
simulation of these flows.  Specific topics include:

* Volume of fluid methods (volume tracking)
* Interface reconstruction and smoothing
* Interface tracking
* Mixed cell and pressure relaxation models
* Multi-material advection algorithms
* Surface tension calculation and effects
