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.

The rigorous analysis of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations (and other models of fluid dynamics) can contribute to our understanding of turbulence. Results on regularity often exclude physical singularities of particular types, and so can influence coarser-scale modelling. Progress on questions that appear at first purely mathematical, such as the Onsager Conjecture (minimal smoothness for conservation of energy in the Euler equations), can provide insights towards foundations of the classical theory of turbulence, namely the dissipation anomaly (finite energy dissipation in the limit of zero viscosity). Analysis of boundary layers is central to many asymptotic approaches to fluid flows, and key mathematical questions remain here too, closely related to convergence of Navier-Stokes to Euler flows.

“Nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics isn’t about going-with-the-flow. It is about mastering the flow, guaranteeing, understanding and predicting it for the safe operation of existing nuclear power plants and the development of new nuclear technologies. The International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics is one of the premier gatherings for experts in nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics and related topical areas. The meeting is held every two years and cycles through the North America, Europe and Asia. Can you already feel the positive energy? We do and we are ready to welcome you!”

Transport and mixing are among the most important properties of turbulent fluid flows. Indeed, movement of mechanical and thermal energy and material underlies the most basic dynamical phenomena in astrophysics, geophysics and the environment, as well as in biology and myriad industrial and engineering applications. Understanding (i) the fundamental physics underlying the dynamics of these processes and (ii) cutting edge mathematical approaches for their analysis is central to many active research fields. Topics include recent advances in irregular transport and geometric analysis, and developments and novel applications from optimization and control. The primary objective of this workshop is to bring together mathematical scientists working on theoretical and state of the art computational aspects of fluid dynamics focused on quantitative modelling and analysis of turbulent transport and mixing.

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.
