Many?physical?applications?incorporate?different scales,?for example?a microscopic scale where the actual physical process happens and a macroscopic scale where the observable quantity is measured. This?scale?difference?can occur?with respect to time?in?highly?oscillating processes?over a?long?time or with respect to?space?in fine-scale?heterogeneous media?like?composite materials or porous media.?In standard computational approaches, the?fine scale?needs to be resolved everywhere in the heterogeneous medium. Thus, numerical simulations?may become extremely costly.

?

The winter school will address such multiscale problems from an engineering, simulation and mathematical point of view.?We?will?study microscopic modelling, solution methods and concrete applications.?We?will present analytical homogenisation approaches which yield effective models?that?separate?the?micro- and the?macroscale?and discuss their numerical realization. We will also consider numerical homogenisation methods which are applicable in regimes without a clear scale separation.
