Preface

Numerical treatment of two-phase incompressible flow problems In the past few decades there has been tremendous progress in the development and analysis of numerical methods for one-phase incompressible Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations. There is an extensive literature on space- and time discretization methods, iterative solvers and other numerical issues, e.g., implementation aspects, related to this problem class. This literature comprises a huge number of papers and many monographs. The research activities resulted in output ranging from new fundamental mathematical insights to software packages that can be used for the simulation of incompressible flow problems. Nowadays open source and commercial software packages are available that perform satisfactory when used as black or gray box solvers for a fairly large class of incompressible one-phase flow problems. Although very big progress has been made, there are still important topics which require further research. For example, in the field of development and analysis of numerical methods for the simulation of turbulent flows, non-Newtonian flows and flows coupled with chemistry the state of the art is not satisfactory, yet. The work that has been done on numerical methods for one-phase incompressible Navier-Stoke
