Complex fluid flows exist throughout nature, in biological systems and in man-made devices. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is one of the tools that engineers use to predict the behaviour of these complex flows. Fluids often interact with other media whose behaviour is governed by other physics. The mathematical modelling of these types of interactions is referred to as multiphysics modelling. The need for user-friendly, reliable, high-fidelity and computationally efficient methodologies and algorithms for multiphysics phenomena has increased as industries continue to rely more heavily on numerical simulation as a tool to improve their product design.***Finite difference methods for the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations were very popular in the early years of CFD development. However, their applicability to flows in complicated and highly irregular domains is severely restricted due to their reliance on structured grid systems. This is the primary reason for the popularity of finite volume solvers, particularly in commercial CFD codes.*******The aim of this research proposal is to develop a unified approach that leads to an innovative, robust Finite Difference methodology for the numerical simulation of multiphysics phenomena that can be applied to arbitrary meshes, regardless of whether the mesh is structured, unstructured or hybrid, or the domain is covered by a cloud of points.****Advantages of having a finite difference solver for such meshes include the fact that they are more efficient than finite volume and finite element methods, are easier to analyze and code, and offer a greater opportunity to achieve high-order accurate solutions with relatively little additional cost.***

复杂的流体流动存在于自然界、生物系统和人造设备中。计算流体动力学 (CFD) 是工程师用来预测这些复杂流动行为的工具之一。流体经常与其他介质相互作用，而其他介质的行为受其他物理学的控制。这些类型相互作用的数学建模称为多物理场建模。随着行业继续更加依赖数值模拟作为改进产品设计的工具，对多物理现象的用户友好、可靠、高保真和计算高效的方法和算法的需求不断增加。***用于多物理场现象的有限差分方法纳维-斯托克斯方程的数值求解在 CFD 发展的早期非常流行。然而，由于它们对结构化网格系统的依赖，它们对复杂和高度不规则域中的流动的适用性受到严重限制。这是有限体积求解器流行的主要原因，特别是在商业 CFD 代码中。********本研究提案的目的是开发一种统一的方法，为求解问题提供创新、稳健的有限差分方法。多物理场现象的数值模拟，可应用于任意网格，无论网格是结构化、非结构化还是混合网格，或者域是否被点云覆盖。****针对此类网格使用有限差分求解器的优点包括它们比有限体积更有效的事实有限元方法，更容易分析和编码，并提供更大的机会以相对较少的额外成本实现高阶精确解决方案。***
