Conferences and Meetings on Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics and Statistical Physics

Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM)

This conference is part of the ”Semaines CIRM-SMF” program and is dedicated to the mathematical analysis of non homogeneous models of fluid mechanics.

RESEARCH SCHOOL (CIRM-SMF)

Courses and Events for Math Students and Early Career Researchers,    Applied Mathematics (in general)

Understanding fluid dynamics and heat transfer has been one of the major advances of mathematics, physics and engineering. Our symposium covers various subjects: from new numerical methods and fundamental research until engineering applications. This annual meeting is a part of the International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (ICNAAM) and thus it is organized together with many other symposia on numerical analysis: this also offers a wider audience since ICNAAM is perhaps one of the biggest events in the field of the numerical analysis involving hundreds of scientist from the whole world.

Modeling and Simulation,    Computational Physics and Numerical Simulation

Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM)

We consider the semidiscrete stochastic heat equation on the lattice Z d , d ≥ 3, with a small noise term that is white in time. The goal of this project is to show that the equation admits a global solution whose distribution attracts solutions with initial conditions in a certain class, both in the forward and in the pullback sense. Determining how broad this class of initial conditions can be is one important aspect.

The question of how particles and droplets can grow in a turbulent environment is of great current interest in many fields, in astrophysics, cloud microphysics, in biology, and in the engineering sciences. For example, coagulation and condensation in turbulent clouds turn microscopic cloud droplets into rain drops. In astrophysics, planetesimals are thought to form by aggregation of microscopic dust grains in the turbulent environment surrounding a forming star. In both cases, turbulence is believed to be a crucial factor for particle growth. Yet the microscopic mechanisms determining this growth are far from understood. In the past few years there has been substantial progress in understanding the mechanisms that determine how particles move in turbulence, albeit mostly for simplified model systems. The challenge is now to understand how these mechanisms lead to rapid particle growth.

The 2020 ASHRAE Annual Conference technical program is comprised of eight tracks as well as a mini-track, selected to represent areas of focus common among ASHRAE membership. The track focus areas include fundamentals and applications, HVAC&R systems and equipment, research summit, professional development and other specific topics including grid-interactive efficient built environment, multifamily and residential buildings, resilient buildings and communities, zero energy buildings, communities: opportunities and challenges and a building myths mini-track. ASHRAE is a diverse organization representing building system design and industrial processes professionals around the world.

ESAT 2020 conference will be the 31st meeting in a series of applied thermodynamics conferences initiated in 1974 by Helmut Knapp. The conference covers new experimental achievements, prediction of thermophysical properties of complex systems, molecular and statistical thermodynamics, molecular modeling and simulation and chemo-informatics, all of this in view of practical applications.

International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics

ICCT-2020 will be the 26th meeting in a series of conferences on chemical thermodynamics originally sponsored by IUPAC and now coordinated by the International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics.

The Institute of Refrigeration

Over three days, delegates will explore research and developments in the closely related fields of power cycles, working fluids and RACHP applications. They will take away insights into new opportunities to deliver efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. The conference will look to the future and offer a forum where the different disciplines of power generation, refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps can come together to discuss their common challenges and learn from each other about the different solutions that are being developed to tackled them. The conference will take place at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, where Rankine studied and taught, making a historical connection between his life’s work and legacy to the refrigeration industry.

Associazione Italiana Proprietà Termofisiche (AIPT-Italian Society for Thermophysical Properties)

The objective of the conference is to provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers to meet and share experiences in the field of thermophysical properties of a wide variety of systems, covering both fluids and solids. The conference will concentrate on theory, modeling, measurement and applications.

Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP)

A fascinating and surprising phenomenon that can occur in fluid and plasma turbulence is the spontaneous formation of arrays of layers in which material properties such as density adopt a so-called “staircase” structure. The most striking examples are potential vorticity staircases in planetary atmospheres, and thermohaline staircases in the oceans. Theoretical considerations suggest that layering also plays an important role in stellar interiors (particularly through various double-diffusive processes) and in fusion confinement devices (the so-called E x B staircase). Understanding the phenomenon of layering is, therefore, not only of intrinsic scientific interest (e.g., is there a common thread to layering in these very different contexts?), but is also crucial for an accurate description of turbulent transport in, for example, models of large-scale ocean flow, the evolution of stellar interiors and confinement in tokamaks.
