Conferences and Meetings on Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics and Statistical Physics

American Institute of Mathematics (AIM)

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, is devoted to the phenomena of criticality and stochasticity which co-occur in many interesting nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). It is designed to help strengthen and expand the deep connections between these phenomena by gathering researchers with different backgrounds in these areas, encouraging discussions of recent developments as well as open problems, and fostering collaborations during and after the workshop. In particular, the workshop will focus on a certain PDEs for which these phenomena play a major role; namely, the 3D Euler and Navier-Stokes (NS) equations of incompressible fluids, the 2D surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation of geophysical flows, and the 3D Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (Hall-MHD) system.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together a broad array of researchers working on incompressible fluid dynamics. Some of the key topics to be covered are Euler flows, Navier Stokes equations as well as water wave flows and associated model equations. Some emphasis will also be placed on numerical analysis of the above evolutions.

Stochastic thermodynamics has revolutionized our understanding of far-from-equilibrium statistical physics over the last few decades, and continues to result in deep, powerful results ranging from fluctuation theorems over speed-limit theorems to thermodynamic uncertainty relations. With this new series of online workshops we aim to give a wide-ranging cross-section of the stochastic thermodynamics community a platform to present and discuss their current research.

We cordially invite you to the second Workshop on Stochastic Thermodynamics (WOST II). It will be hosted by the Santa Fe Institute, next May 17 - May 21, with a day of tutorials on May 13. This workshop will be held entirely online and is free to attend for everyone.

Mathematical billiards are a fast growing field of the modern theory of dynamical systems and a deep source of insights, methods and examples in dynamics. It has greatly impacted many areas, ranging from integrable Hamiltonian systems and KAM theory, hyperbolic (chaotic) systems, to Teichm\"uller dynamics. It has also stimulated much recent applied research in such areas of mathematical physics as equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and quantum theory. The proposed workshop will bring together leading mathematicians, mathematical physicists, and younger researchers whose work is connected to the theory and applications of billiard dynamics from a variety of perspectives. Topics will include new modalities of billiard systems, with special attention given to applications to statistical physics such as, for example, the study of classical and quantum transport phenomena.

Fluids that exhibit physical behaviours which are not Newtonian are extremely common in nature and in industrial contexts. These occur in many processes underlying natural resource industries (mining, oil and gas). These are key in manufacturing industries such as polymer processing and in new environmentally-driven manufacturing products such as printing/layering in battery manufacture, coating flows, drug and droplet encapsulation and many bio-fluid applications (e.g. blood, mucus, semen, synovial fluids). This workshop brings together mathematically oriented scientists and engineers to work on these societally important issues.

This workshop will study this question for systems of geometric origin. One example of this is a particle bouncing inside a region -- think of a ball bouncing around a billiard table, or a light beam bouncing around a room whose walls are mirrors. If the walls are flat then the behavior is fairly predictable, but if they are curved then one often observes random-looking behavior in the long run. Or imagine walking in a straight line along a surface; if the surface is flat then changing the starting point a little will lead to a predictable change in the trajectory. However, if the surface is curved like a saddle then different trajectories will spread out and your location after walking for a long time will eventually seem to be random. The task of giving precise descriptions of systems such as these requires a more complete development of the theory of thermodynamic formalism for systems of geometric origin, which is precisely the goal of this workshop.

The first Eurotherm seminar on Caloric Heating and Cooling (CHC) will be held at University of Twente on 13th-15th July 2021. This seminar will gather scientists and engineers to present the state of the art and the modern trends in caloric heating and cooling technologies and to foster an environment conducive to exchanging ideas. Theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches will be presented for development of Caloric Materials & Devices.

The workshop brings together top experts in the field, and creates an environment where all the latest ideas, intuition and techniques can be shared and refined. Another important goal of the proposed workshop is to introduce junior researchers to a highly active area of research in PDEs of fluid dynamics. We will give preferences to young researchers when inviting speakers to the workshop.

Dear all potential participants of DIFFUSION FUNDAMENTALS IX HELD IN KRAKOW - We all follow with great concern the worldwide development of the Corona pandemics. It now seems that nobody knows how long the way to (a new?) normality will exactly be. In some regions of our world, severe restrictions reach already into the next year. Therefore, in order to ensure the best possible conditions for the upcoming “Diffusion Fundamentals” – as far as any reliable predictions can be made – with a heavy heart we have decided to postpone the conference by one year, namely to September 21 – 24, 2022

We do intend and will do our best to retain the actuality of the conference programme planned for September 2021 and are in contact with the speakers who have accepted the invitations to attend the event next year (go to the bookmark “Invited Speakers”). You are cordially invited and encouraged to visit the present website from time to time as it will be systematically updated with current news.
