Conferences and Meetings on Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics and Statistical Physics

The field of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in Fluid Dynamics has seen tremendous scientific activity in the last decade, due to the facts that the underlying governing equations have a very rich and complex structure and that many of these equations still lack basic understanding concerning global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions. The PDEs modeling and describing fluid flows play an important role in various areas of mathematics, natural sciences and also engineering. This special semester at CIRM will focus on nonlinear PDEs arising in incompressible fluid dynamics, such as Euler- and Navier-Stokes equations, geophysical flows, liquid crystals and complex fluids, non-homogeneous fluids and critical spaces. The semester will feature an international conference, a large research school for young researchers, a thematic workshop, research in pairs events and a program of invitations open to early graduate researchers as well as more senior guests.

University of Warsaw

The school is primarily aimed at introducing young scientists (PhD students and early career researchers), and is devoted to various areas of research in the field of statistical physics and its applications to complex natural systems. The School will be an opportunity for participants to interact directly with leading scientists in this rapidly growing field. The lectures will be supplemented by problem solving sessions, giving practical insights into the discussed concepts. Abstract submission deadline: 10 April 2022.

Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation

The second law of thermodynamics that characterizes the entropy change of many-body systems is a fundamental law of Nature. Originally formulated by Rudolf Clausius to understand the conversion of heat into work in the context of heat engines, it is now universally used to describe the direction of thermodynamic transformations close and far from equilibrium in physics, chemistry and biology.

In this workshop, we will celebrate Clausius' 200th birthday in 2022 by exploring the recent developments in the experimental and theoretical investigations in the context of the second law in various directions. We aim for an inspiring exchange between researchers from such diverse fields as information theory, cosmology, quantum physics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, physical chemistry, and biophysics under the unifying framework of the second law. We will, in particular, focus on the intimate interplay between entropy and information, the study of far-from-equilibrium processes in classical and quantum systems, as well as the role played by entropy in the function of molecular and biological systems. The participants will be both senior and young researchers working in these active fields.

For all participants, complimentary on-site and full-board accommodation is provided by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation, and there is no conference fee. For further information on the WEH seminar, invited speakers and application procedure please visit the conference website. PhD students and PostDocs are encouraged to apply.

European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE)

ESAT 2022 conference will be the 32nd meeting in a series of applied thermodynamics conferences initiated in 1974 by Helmut Knapp.

The 8th International Conference on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow (HTFF’21) aims to become the leading annual conference in fields related to heat transfer and fluid flow. The goal of this fluid flow and heat transfer conference 2021 is to gather scholars from all over the world to present advances in the relevant fields and to foster an environment conducive to exchanging ideas and information. This conference will also provide an ideal environment to develop new collaborations and meet experts on the fundamentals, applications, and products of the mentioned fields.

FQMT’22 is the next event of the series of the previous, successful Prague conferences "Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Thermodynamics". The main goal of the conference is to contribute to a better understanding of the behavior of quantum systems out of equilibrium. To reach this aim we also need to improve our knowledge of systems in equilibrium and steady state situations. The conference will thus address foundations of quantum physics, quantum many body physics, statistical physics, and thermodynamics relying on the theoretical and experimental methods of condensed matter physics and quantum optics. The systems considered will be mainly on the order of mesoscopic (nanoscale) size, and include those of both natural and artificial origin. Special attention will be given to non-equilibrium quantum systems, physics of quantum information and manifestation of quantum effects in biological systems. Subjects from astrophysics, gravitation or cosmology related to the above scope will also be included.

The Royal Society of Chemistry

The Symposium is organised under the auspices of the Gas Kinetics Group of the Faraday Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry. The Symposium has a long history, dating back to 1967. It has been held every two years, with host cities generally alternating between continental Europe and the English-speaking world, mainly the UK. The Royal Society of Chemistry’s prestigious Polanyi medal is traditionally presented at this Symposium. As the Symposium was cancelled in 2020 (it was due to be held at KIT in Karlsruhe, Germany), both the 2020 and the 2022 Polanyi medals will be awarded at the 2022 Symposium.

The symposium provides an open forum for discussion of the latest experimental and theoretical research on a wide range of topics related to gas-phase chemical kinetics, including: combustion; reaction dynamics; atmospheric, interstellar and planetary chemistry; heterogeneous- and particle-chemistry.

The organizers of the IXth edition of the Diffusion Fundamentals conference held in Kraków (Poland) from 21st to 24th September 2022 intend to continue the 16-years tradition of the series. Invitation to attend the conference is addressed to the wide milieu of scientists interested in diverse concepts of diffusion – understood not only as a movement of material bodies in all scales but also as any spreading phenomena in diverse areas of knowledge.
