Advances in the Free-Lagrange method

the long version

The contributions in this volume focus on the use of general connectivity (unstructured) adaptive meshes for Lagrangian calculations but contain a substantial amount of material on Euler and arbitrary Lagrange-Euler techniques as well. Contributions on the smooth particle hydrodynamics method and on deterministic vortex methods broaden the scope of the material and allow comparisons of different, though allied, techniques to be made. The format of the conference was designedto optimize the interaction among the attendees. An edited version of roundtable discussions is included in these proceedings.
