Fluids are ubiquitous in the nature, but equations of fluid mechanics are among the most difficult PDEs to analyze. The question of global regularity v.s. finite time blow-up remains open for many fundamental fluid equations, and there are also many other interesting open questions on other aspects of properties. Recently, the study of fluid equations has witnessed multiple breakthrough results, such as non-existence of type-one singularity, rigorous proofs for small scale formation and finite-time blow-up for various equations, non-uniqueness of weak solutions to the Euler and Navier-Stokes equation via convex integration, as well as the non-uniqueness of the law of the 3D stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. With these exciting developments in the last decade, this workshop is a timely event to capitalize on this momentum. In this workshop, we aim to bring together leading experts and junior researchers covering complementary areas in fluid equations to share new ideas, discuss emerging problems, and identify promising research directions for the future. When inviting participants to the workshop, preferences will be given to junior researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups.

A common phenomenon in the dynamics of out of equilibrium systems is the metastability, and the problem of the lifetime of metastable states involves fundamental aspects of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. In spite of such ubiquity, the microscopic understanding of metastability and related out of equilibrium dynamics still raise fundamental questions. Stochastic many-body systems, classical and quantum, often display a complex and slow relaxation towards a stationary state. This nonlinear relaxation process in multistable systems is crucial for understanding the transient dynamics in complex physical and biological systems. This Workshop will bring together leading experts and research groups with significant contribution to the contemporary state-of-the-art of nonequilibrium classical and quantum systems, working towards the development of new quantum technologies. Moreover, aim of this meeting is to bring together scientists interested to the challenging problems connected with the dynamics of nonequilibrium multistable systems from both theoretical and experimental point of view, within an interdisciplinary context. The conference will be a discussion forum to promote new ideas in this fertile field of research, and in particular new trends such as out-of-equilibrium systems, high-Tc superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, topological phase transitions, quantum metrology, machine learning and quantum algorithms for complex systems.

The Banff International Research Station will host a diverse, international group of mathematicians in 2023 to study geometric approaches to fluids and optimal transport. The ideas of geodesic settings for fluids have been circulating since the late 1960s, but received a strong surge lately, in the last 5-10 years, with the development of new techniques in infinite-dimensional geometry and group theory. The original idea is that the particles in an ideal liquid or gas move in a curved infinite-dimensional space, in the same way as an airplane flying around the earth: along the shortest path. Properties of the fluid, such as how well it can be predicted in the future, how well it mixes together, and how extreme the speed can be, can all be related to how curved this infinite-dimensional space is, which helps us understand features of the weather and climate geometrically. More recently similar ideas have been used to understand solids as well, for example when a pile of rocks are transported from one place to another at the optimal cost.

The conference is organized by BE-HyFE (Belgium) and Hydrogen Europe Research (EU).

Hydrogen is, and will remain, a hot topic in R&D, both in the academic and the industrial world. There are already many conferences dedicated to hydrogen, often primarily offering a platform to more mature researchers. None of those are tailored specifically to PhD researchers and also organized on a European level. But, we are convinced that PhD-focused conferences can provide a nurturing environment for early-stage researchers to grow, learn and establish their academic presence. So the idea for EPHyC was born: let's organize a PhD conference offering a platform for EU-based networking, learning and skills development attuned to their needs and stages of research, from just starting researchers to those almost defending their thesis. EPHyC, with mainly PhD presenting their topics to each other, will offer many opportunities for feedback, collaboration options, discovering potential interdisciplinary connections and research motivation. The conference is organized by PhDs for PhDs, we know you because we are you!

And the best part? To make the threshold as low as possible, the conference is free of charge for all participants!

Geometric structures associated with bipartite graphs on surfaces have recently emerged and turn out to be crucial for studying a variety of problems. On the one hand, probabilists working in statistical mechanics are interested in finding appropriate embeddings of planar graphs that lead to discrete complex analysis theories, which are well suited for observing conformally invariant objects in the scaling limit. In the course of doing so, they established deep connections between specific immersions of the underlying graphs, integrability of the models, and Harnack curves. On the other hand, several spaces of geometric objects have recently been found to be parametrized by weighted bipartite graphs on surfaces, relating them to cluster algebras and integrable systems. These include objects from discrete differential geometry (e.g. Q-nets, Darboux maps), positive Grassmannians, and higher Teichmüller spaces. Moreover, connections between knot theory and the dimer model have started to emerge and beg for a better understanding.

This course gives an overview and practical hands-on experience in integrating machine learning in fluid dynamics. The course originated as a compressed version of the course Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics, given at the Research Master program at the von Karman Institute. After a brief review of the machine learning landscape, we show how to frame problems in fluid mechanics as machine learning problems, and we explore challenges and opportunities. Attendees will be guided through a series of tutorial sessions in Python and will tackle several relevant applications: aeroacoustics' noise prediction, turbulence modelling, reduced-order modelling and forecasting, meshless integration of (partial) differential equations, super-resolution and flow control.
