Description of the topic of the session:

 

Understanding fluid dynamics has been one of the major advances of mathematics, physics and engineering. Single- and multiphase flow technology is increasingly important in the energy and manufacturing industries. Heat transfer is of particular interest to engineers, who attempt to understand and control the flow of heat through the use of heat exchangers or thermal insulation, and other devices. Pollution control, pneumatic transport, combustion, development of new materials, engine design, as well as many other engineering applications will benefit from the fundamental engineering design application and research in the field. The objective of the session is to bring together scientists working on numerical and also experimental issues. They are called upon to present their research. Topics of interest include (but not limited!):

3) Title: "Computations of stochastic systems"

Organizer: Prof. Magdy A. El-Tawil, Professor of Mathematics, Cairo University, Faculty of Engineering, Engineering Mathematics Department, Giza, Egypt.
 

 

                       E-mail: magdyeltawil@yahoo.com
 

Description of the topic of the session:

 

The computations of probability density function (p.d.f.) or statistical moments of solutions of many stochastic systems are not always available in an analytical sense. One has to describe approximate methods to get approximate solutions for such uncertain systems. The high developments in computers, in general, and mainly in symbolic computations enlarge the usability of old and modern techniques which are computationally tedious, Pickard approximations for example. The aim of this session is to present some of such methods and techniques adapted to stochastic systems, for example: stochastic finite element (SFEM), stochastic finite difference, Pickard approximation, variational iteration method (VIM) and its modification, Adomian decomposition method (ADM), homotopy perturbation method and WHEP technique. Interested researchers in this session are invited to submit their manuscripts for the session organizer through E-mail. They will be E-mailed with the next steps after reviewing.

Description

 

Coagulation-fragmentation (CF) processes are important in many areas of science: colloid chemistry, aerosol physics, astrophysics, polymer science, oil recovery dynamics, and mathematical biology. The theory of CF processes originated in 1917 in the work of M. von Smoluchowski. Smoluchowski's model has since been widely extended and generalised to include continuous models in terms of nonlinear integro--differential or partial differential equations . Mathematical problems that arise from such models include analyses of equilibria and their stability, criteria for finite time gelation, connections between finite-dimensional truncated systems and the original infinite-dimensional equations, existence and stability of self-similar solutions, front propagation, and connections with stochastic processes. There are many difficult issues associated with numerical solution of these equations, which have been recently tackled by many methods, including pivot techniques, quadrature method of moments, and wavelets. The workshop will give an opportunity to modellers, numerical analysts, applied scientists and mathematicians using CF processes to hear what is the state of the art in this important area, and to exchange expertise.
 

5) Title: "Non-classical" diffusion mechanisms and patterns in materials science"

6) Title: "Partial Differential Equations in Fluid Dynamics"

Organizer: Prof. Dr. CHEN SHUXING, School of Mathematical Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai, China 200433.
 

                       E-mail: sxchen@public8.sta.net.cn

 

Description of the topic of the session:

 

The theory of partial differential equations play fundamental role in fluid dynamics. For instance, the Euler system in inviscid flow, the Navier-Stocks equations in viscous flow, the Plandtl equation in boundary layer, the Boltzmann equation in rare gas are extremely important in studying the motion of the fluid in the related fields. Although these equations are classical, the study on the theory of these equations and their applications to various related problems is always active and attracts many people attention. Essential development and new results are obtained frequently. The aim of the symposium is to bring together scientists working in this area to exchange the experience in their research work, share their most recent results, as well as to study open problems in the field.

The subjects discussed in this symposium include:

 

bullet

Nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws

bullet

Navier-Stocks equations and various dissipative mechanism

Description of the topic of the session and call for papers:

 

Relevant phenomena in ecology, population dynamics and epidemiology leading to invasion and pattern formation in natural systems are modeled using various mathematical and computational approaches, both deterministic and stochastic.


The importance of these phenomena is recognized by the scientific community, but the specific mechanisms governing their origin and evolution are not yet fully theoretically understood and need further investigation.

Recent mathematical modeling techniques and computer simulations are presented in the book by Horst Malchow, Sergei V. Petrovskii, Ezio Venturino recently appeared in the Series Mathematical & Computational Biology of Chapman & Hall/CRC, entitled

 

"Spatiotemporal Patterns in Ecology and Epidemiology: Theory, Models, and Simulation".



See the website:

http://www.crcpress.com/shopping_cart/products/product_detail.asp?sku=C6749&isbn=9781584886747&parent_id=&pc=

We propose to organize a special session in Biomathematics centered on the topics of the book but extending to other relevant topics related to the former, as for instance, but not restricted to:

 

bullet

spatiotemporal patterns in ecological settings

bullet

invasion mechanisms

bullet

conceptual mathematical modeling in population dynamics and epidemiology

bullet

numerical simulations of nonlinear models for the evolution of populations and diseases

bullet

Ecoepidemiological models describing the impact of infectious diseases on interacting populations

bullet

deterministic and stochastic spatiotemporal pattern formation
