SERENA

The project-team SERENA is concerned with numerical methods for environmental problems. The main topics are the conception and analysis of models based on partial differential equations, the study of their precise and efficient numerical approximation, and implementation issues with special concern for reliability and correctness of programs. We are in particular interested in the reliability of the overall simulation process and its efficiency with respect to computational resources. Applications concern the impact of human activities on environment, its protection, and sustainable use of resources. They are pursued with industrial partners and academic collaborators.
