About the Author Harald van Brummelen holds the chair of Multiscale Engineering Fluid Dynamics at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. He received an MSc in Mechanical Engineering from Twente University in 1997 and a PhD in Numerical Analysis from the University of Amsterdam in 2002. He is the current Director of the Dutch National Graduate School for Engineering Mechanics and Secretary General of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS). Professor van Brummelen’s research is concerned with advanced numerical methods for multiscale problems in fluid dynamics and, in particular, adaptive finite element techniques, fluid–structure interaction, rarefied-gas dynamics and Boltzmann’s equation, and phase-field models. He has (co-)authored more than 50 journal papers. He is the local program director of the industrial–private partnership program FIP (Fundamental Fluid-Dynamics Challenges in Inkjet Printing) and principal investigator of the project RareTrans (Transport in Rarefied Gases in Next Generation Photo Lithography Machines).  Alessandro Corsini is Professor of Energy Conversion and Fluid Machinery in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome. He received his PhD from the Sapienza University of Rome in 1996, and since 1997 has lectured on Thermal Machines and Energy Systems Courses at the university. He has been involved in the development of CFD methods for the prediction of turbulent, incompressible internal flows, with specific emphasis on the development of stabilized formulations for turbomachinery CFD. Professor Corsini has been collaborating with the Team for Advanced Flow Simulation and Modeling TAFSM at Rice University, USA, since 2004. He is active in the field of industrial turbomachinery and energy systems, working on CFD-based design concepts, noise reduction technologies, stall dynamics, and control and fault monitoring. Alessandro Corsini is Associate Editor of the IMechE Journal of Power and Energy and a member of the editorial boards of the International Journal of Rotating Machinery and Periodica Polytechnica. He is a reviewer for international journals in the fields of Energy, Turbomachinery, and Computational Mechanics. He is the author of more than 150 scientific publications and holds nine international patents. Simona Perotto is Associate Professor in Numerical Analysis at the Department of Mathematics of Politecnico di Milano, Italy. She gained her Master’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Torino in 1995 and her PhD in Computational Mathematics and Operations Research from the University of Milan in 1999. She then spent tw
