General Profile:

Computer modeling and simulation are increasingly important for development of new applications and technologies of microwave power engineering. To be accurate and adequate, the models have to mimic not only electromagnetic processes in the system, but also other physical phenomena involved – such as heat transfer, mass transfer, evaporation, phase change, etc.

This interdisciplinary forum brings together engineers, researchers and students involved in different areas of microwave power engineering and engaged with the development and the use of suitable numerical techniques, computational schemes and modeling procedures. The seminar program includes contributions from both academia and industry that exemplify advantages and benefits of computer models for for simulation, CAD, and optimization of microwave applicators.

Technical Topics:

Aiming to illuminate some modern trends in evolution of computational technologies applicable to a variety of scenarios in microwave power engineering, contributions to the topics including (but not limited to) the following are invited:

• Advances in development of electromagnetic-thermal models of systems and processes of microwave power engineering
• Models coupling electromagnetic phenomenon with other than thermal components of microwave heating
• Methodology, strategy, concepts of multiphysics modeling of microwave processing of materials
• Modeling-based determination of material parameters
• Modeling-based microwave imaging of materials
• Virtual experimentation in research, physical prototyping, and industrial applications.

Seminar Structure:

Seminar Publications:

• Extended papers (up to 5 pages) representing the seminar contributions will be published in the Seminar Proceedings which will be available at the seminar.
• After the meeting, the papers will be uploaded to the seminar web site.

Special Feature:

The seminar will be held in conjunction with the Short Course “Multiphysics Modeling” to be taught at the University of Bayreuth on March 7, 2012.
