Rainbow Shark-FV Conference 2026
May, 4 – 8 2026 in Minho
Objectives
This conference aims at
- strengthening the collaborations between High-accurate scheme developers like Finite Volume (FV) and
- sharing the burden of research and development of numerical codes of FV type.
This workshop brings the opportunity for researchers from International Universities to discuss the State-of-the-Art of high(er)-order methods for a large range of Physics and Engineering problems.
Each morning presentations are given by experts in the field while the afternoon sessions are dedicated to intensive parallel workshops articulated around few collaborators.
Why?
- reinforce already existing collaborations;
- create new interactions between researchers of the same field;
- share detailed and technical experiences on specific issues and exchange ideas, codes, test cases…
A lot of time is dedicated to discussions and work sessions. As a consequence the number of participants is limited to 40. Registration must be done through the registration form. (Abstract can be sent using this Latex template.)
The fees covers:
- the hotel 5 nights – Sunday night till Friday-,
- three meals per day -Sunday dinner up to Friday lunch-,
- the coffee breaks,
- the registration fees,
- the transport from/to Porto airport,
- and the workshop banquet on Thursday evening.
The area is located on top of Sao Félix Hill in harmony with the exuberant landscape of the Costa Verde few kilometers from the Ocean, North of Porto and East of Braga. Supplemented with the famous Portuguese cuisine, SHARK-FV conference provides a perfect environment for sharing unforgettable experiences.
The conference in practice
A lot of time is dedicated to discussions and work sessions. The number of participants is limited to 40 – 45 attendants maximum.
First-timers are expected to give a talk in order to « introduce » themselves.
An equilibrium between senior, junior, student researchers from all over Europe is ensured.
Your opened mindedness and good mood are expected —and absolutely mandatory-.
The organizers warmly acknowledge the support of the LRC Anabase in France, and IRP Picasso.

Themes
The conference themes revolve around High- and Very High-Order numerical methods, for instance
- High-order scheme derivation (hyperbolic, parabolic, elliptic);
- Non-Conservative hyperbolic Systems of PDE’s with/without Stiff Source Terms;
- Multispecies/Multimaterial Fluid Flows;
- Structure preservation;
- Modeling, Asymptotic modeling;
- High order approximation of non-matching interfaces and boundaries;
- Analyse, robustness and stability properties;
- Mesh Moving, Meshless and Particle schemes;
- Any clever idea, even those unrelated to the previous themes
- etc.
