COMBINE will create a new research and training agenda to address the following challenges.
1. To bridge the gaps between scientific disciplines to solve complex multi-physics problems through shared methods and techniques covering advanced topics like near-wall turbulence, multiphase CFD, and structural mechanics of innovative materials.
2. To develop novel, fast, and robust measurement techniques to improve lab-scale analysis and real-world monitoring of FSI-related problems. Progress directions include (1) fast imaging for opaque flows, capturing micro-scale vibrations at high resolutions, with tomographic techniques of interest; and (2) robust techniques for harsh environments, like ultrasonic, fibre optic, and magnetic measurements.
3. To improve the accuracy of FSI simulations and demands a multi-faceted approach using rigorous physics modelling, high-performance computing, and AI-driven data analysis to optimise parameters, reduce computational demands, and improve accuracy across scales.
4. To develop novel materials and characterise their functionality early. This involves innovative synthesis techniques and analytical tools to create materials with targeted properties like strength and thermal stability.
