Issues in Solving the Boltzmann Equation for Aerospace Applications

Jun 3 2013 - 00:00
Jun 7 2013 - 23:59
Venue: 

ICERM, Providence, Rhode Island

Short description of the event: 

Being central to gas dynamics, the Boltzmann equation describes gas flows at the microscopic level in regimes from free molecular to continuum. Its descriptive power makes it indispensable for predicting non-continuum phenomena in gases when experimental data is limited or not available. The Boltzmann equation is used in a wide range of applications, from external aerodynamics and thruster plume flows to vacuum facilities and microscale devices. Accurate solution of the Boltzmann equation for modeling gas flows arising in aerospace applications continues to be a challenge.

Milieux Continus Généralisés

Jun 3 2013 - 00:00
Jun 8 2013 - 23:59
Venue: 

Quiberon, France

Short description of the event: 

Il y sera présenté des méthodes générales pour construire de manière systématique et cohérente des théories de milieux continus généralisés. Ces théories de milieux continus généralisés se révèlent pertinentes pour décrire un grand nombre de circonstances fréquemment rencontrées en pratique : milieux finement hétérogènes, polycristaux, milieux micro-fissurés, mais aussi théorie de poutres ou des plaques. Trois points-de-vue, de portée générale, seront plus particulièrement approfondis.

Le principe de l'organisation de cette série d'écoles d'été de mécanique théorique est né du constat d'une certaine désaffection de la communauté mécanicienne française vis-à-vis des fondements de sa discipline. Par mécanique théorique, nous entendons un corpus de connaissances plutôt caractérisé par des méthodes de portée générale que par une application spécifique.

Summer School on KPZ Equation and Rough Paths

Jun 3 2013 - 09:00
Jun 7 2013 - 18:00
Venue: 

Centre Henri Lebesgue
Université de Rennes 1 - Campus de Beaulieu

Short description of the event: 

This summer school will be mainly devoted to three courses by Ivan Corwin and Martin Hairer on Khardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation and Peter Friz on rough paths. Several others talks will present the most recent advances on these topics.

The Lebesgue center chose to devote his first thematic semester, to be held in spring 2013, to the rich and close links between probability theory, analysis and the study of partial differential equations. The semester will highlight major recent advances in this broad field and will promote interactions between researchers from many different backgrounds and specialities. Among other events, an international Opening Conference, four thematic workshops and a Summer School will be held in Rennes and Nantes.

LMS Midlands Regional Meeting & Workshop "Advances in Surface Theory"

Jun 11 2013 - 00:00
Jun 14 2013 - 23:59
Venue: 

University of Leicester

Short description of the event: 

Since the mid-1980's the study of surfaces which are critical points of some natural functional has developed under two essentially independent lines of investigation.

The first is the continued development of methods of functional analysis, via the study of partial differential equations. As the tools of this approach have become more finely tuned and better understood, the past 10 years have seen an enormous explosion of success, mainly through the study of geometric evolution equations (such as mean curvature flow).
