BANG (Biophysique, Analyse Numérique et Géophysique) is a continuation of the former project M3N. It aims at developing models, simulations and numerical algorithms for two kinds of problems involving dynamics or Partial Differential Equations. Firstly problems from life sciences (cell movement, early embryonic development, tissue growth and regeneration, cancer modelling, pharmacology,...) are considered. Secondly models for complex fluid flows are studied (shallow water models, flows with a free surface).

The common scientific features behind these applications come from models involving coupled systems of PDEs (as Keller-Segel or Saint-Venant systems) that are solved (simulated) on computers involving new algorithms and from the methodology which aims at being close to experiments or real data.
