Cartesian grid method has been drawing researcher's attention for a long time in the field of computational fluid dynamics. Compared with the body-fitted grid method, the advantages of the Cartesian grid method include first the elimination of the effort in grid generation and second the annihilation of discretization errors due to mesh skewness. The first is especially prominent in moving interface problems.

This minisymposium invites contributions of original research on the development and applications of Cartesian grid method for physical problems where the fluid flow is interactive with and/or influenced by the motion/deformation of embedded interfaces.
