FAN 2010: Conference on Fluid Dynamics, Analysis and Numerics

Duke University, Durham NC

Investigators

Abstract

This award supports travel and subsistence for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty participating in the "Conference on Fluid Dynamics, Analysis, and Numerics," held 28-30 June 2010 at Duke University. The meeting focuses on three interrelated areas in theory and applications of fluid dynamics: (1) analysis of partial differential equations relating to fluid dynamics; (2) fluid motion driven by interfaces; and (3) computational methods for fluid dynamics. The conference features keynote addresses from leaders in the field and includes an extended poster session, where graduate students, postdocs, and faculty will present contributed poster presentations on their research; this is intended to be a central conference component to foster the interaction of participants across research areas and levels of experience. The conference brings together leading researchers to provide an authoritative overview of the current state of the field and new directions for further work for junior researchers. Participation of members of groups underrepresented in mathematics is encouraged and supported. Conference web site: http://www.math.duke.edu/conferences/FAN2010/
