Objectives:

The aim of this mini-symposium is to gather experts and beginners onthe applications of computational methods to solve problems inpetroleum engineering involving the area of geomechanics. Currentlythe oil industry faces great challenges associated with the developmentof oil fields in areas of complex geology and in some cases subjected tohigh pressures and temperature. The solution of these problems callsfor both robust and fast algorithms. The mini-symposium will discussproblems such as drilling and casing wells through evaporites, drillingthrough fractured and faulted regions, and injection of fluids in theunderground and fault reactivation. Most important is thecomputational time associated with the proposed algorithms whenmodeling the true 3-D nature of the problems. In some cases high-performance computing must be considered in order to allow theusage of the methods in the solution of practical problems. The mini-symposium invites authors to present solutions to reduce thecomputational time of highly coupled algorithms through innovativehigh-performance software and hardware. There will be four invitedspeakers and selected papers to be presented during this one-day longmini-symposium.

computational modeling to evaluate the shape (arquitecture,configuration) effect on the performance of engineering systems Theintention is to bring together researchers, students and professionalsin this field and related areas. Constructal Design is based on theConstructal Law. The Constructal theory explain deterministically howthe generation of shape in flow structures of nature (river basins,lungs, atmospheric circulation, animal shapes, vascularized tissues, etc)is based on an evolutionary principle of flow access in time. Thisprinciple is the Constructal law: for a flow system to persist in time (tosurvive), it must evolve in such way that it provides easier and easieraccess to the currents that flow through it. Concerning the engineeringproblems, Constructal Design has been broadly applied for the studyof engineering problems related to several fields. It has beenpresented in literature the importance of Constructal Design for theperformance of several problems such as fins, cavities, heatexchangers, wave energy converters, composed channels, resininfusion and even structural analysis.

Objectives:

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) represents a paradigmchange for existing practices in the Architecture, Engineering,Construction, and facility Operations (AECO). The move from draftingto computer aided design (CAD) sought to automate existing practicesbut BIM virtually builds a structure first. Construction prototypes canbe virtually designed and constructed. These virtual models can beused for simulating, analyzing and evaluating various courses of actionin order to obtain an improved design and construction. The

multidisciplinary integration is provided by the building digital modelsince the early phases of architectural design with an initial formconcept, through the structural design and multidisciplinary projectcoordination, and gaining effectiveness in the area of sustainabilityanalysis for design aspects such as day-lighting, climate control, andenergy usage. This mini-symposium intends to address this newintegrated emerging processes stemming from BIM simulations.

Objectives:

Dynamical systems are those whose state changes over time, anexample is a pendulum oscillation. Such systems can be found in manyscience areas and its evolution law is described mathematicallythrough differential equations. The control theory is aninterdisciplinary theme originating in engineering and mathematicsthat aims to influence the behavior of dynamic systems. Mechanicalvibrations are examples of dynamical systems. They are caused bytime-varying excitations that are submitted components, set ofcomponents or complete structures. Excessive vibrations in thesesystems are not desirable as it may compromise the performance andalso cause its collapse. In this context, the vibration control is atechnology which aims to reduce excessive vibration levels through the
