DESCRIPTION:Classical mathematical models are used since sever
 al decades to describe\ncomplex phenomena in conti
 nuum mechanics\, with applications in many\ndivers
 e fields of engineering and technology.\nWhen comp
 lexity becomes a concern\, recent developments in 
 multiscale\ngeometrical modeling and heterogeneous
  domain decomposition methods have\nopened the way
  to progress in modeling such complex systems as t
 he human\ncirculatory system and environmental sys
 tems. As a matter of fact\,\nappropriate strategie
 s can be devised to allow for an effective\ndescri
 ption of the interaction between large\, 3D compon
 ents\, and small\n1D branches. Besides\, these mod
 els allow the simulation of the complex\nfluid-str
 ucture interaction which govern\, e.g.\,  the arte
 ry wall\ndeformation under the pressure pulse.\nSi
 milar mathematical equations can be used in a comp
 letely different\ncontext\, for instance to descri
 be the flow behavior around sailing\nboats\, with 
 the purpose of optimizing yacht performances.
