Conferences  >  Physics  >  Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics and Statistical Physics

The DFD Annual Meeting is one of the largest conferences in fluid dynamics, with more than 3,500 attendees expected from around the world. The objective is to promote the advancement and dissemination of knowledge in all areas of fluid dynamics. Students, postdoctoral researchers, university faculty, and researchers across government and industry are encouraged to share the latest developments in the field.

Fluctuations are a fundamental manifestation of the microscopic stochastic/quantum dynamics of physical systems. They are present at very different scales and give rise to a plethora of effects, relevant across various research fields. Understanding the origin of fluctuation-induced phenomena is rapidly becoming important not only for fundamental investigations but also for the characterization of experimental setups and for the opportunities and challenges that they offer to modern technologies. The seminar covers a broad range of subjects having fluctuations as a common denominator. It focuses on current challenges encompassing diverse physical systems both in and out of equilibrium, spanning different scales and configurations.

Given an incidence structure, one may model a variety of geometric problems. This Semester Program will revolve around two fundamental examples and their applications to modern challenges in the study, analysis, and design of materials. (1) Packings and patterns of circles where the underlying combinatorics are mixed with advanced geometric concepts and strong links are made to discrete differential geometry. (2) The rigidity and flexibility of bar-joint structures where real algebraic geometry is intertwined with sparse graph theory and matroidal techniques. A prime objective of the program is to advance the applicability of these topics to fundamental applications, most notably in statistical physics and materials science.

The program will integrate diverse fields of discrete mathematics, geometry, theoretical computer science, mathematical biology, and statistical and soft matter physics. Various workshops will be designed to attract both theoretical and applied practitioners and to stimulate the cross-fertilization of ideas between these disparate communities.

Recent mathematical breakthroughs have advanced our understanding of how fluids mix advected quantities like passive dyes and active densities. These discoveries impact statistical turbulence laws, dissipation enhancement, hydrodynamic stability, and convection processes. This one-week workshop will focus on rigorous mathematical findings, physical aspects of fluid mixing, and computational approaches, by bringing together several experts and future leaders in these fields.
