E-mail: cernyr@fsv.cvut.cz

 
Transport and accumulation of heat, moisture, chemical substances, and momentum are phenomena which affect the building materials and structures over their whole lifetime period. Their satisfactory description requires primarily a choice of proper physical and mathematical models because the transport mechanisms are coupled.  The computational implementation of mathematical models is another essential factor involving an application of appropriate methods of numerical solution. The computer simulation tools cannot be utilized properly without knowledge of a variety of transport and storage material parameters, which have to be determined experimentally in a wide range of field quantities, such as temperature, moisture content, and concentration of a particular chemical compound. The applied models are also supposed to be verified using critical experiments, in order to assess their overall quality. Therefore, in practical applications the computational modeling and experimental assessment of transport processes cannot be separated without a risk of significant departure from the physical reality. 
The symposium brings together physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and engineers working in the field of transport processes in building materials.
 
The main topics include but are not limited to:
  • Theoretical models of transport phenomena
  • Computer simulation tools

Computational and statistical approaches have been widely used for image formation and reconstruction. The statistical methods can make use of the accurate physical models with real-life data taking into account the stochastic nature of noise; also they can enforce object constraints such as spatial continuity, temporal correlation and non-negativity. Tomography is a powerful reconstruction technique for producing cross-sectional images of the internal structure of an object, or more precisely, for estimating the distribution of a physical quantity of interest from a set of projection data using an appropriate computational technique such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Some areas to which tomography has been applied are medical imaging, geophysics, oceanography, quantum states, and relatively recently to the ionosphere where estimates of the electron density are used in mapping the ionosphere.      
 
This symposium aims to bring together statisticians, physicists, engineers, mathematicians and scientists working on new research ideas in the related fields.

Organizer: Dr. Peter Zörnig, Associate Professor, Institute of Exact Sciences, Department of Statistics, University of Brasília, Brazil

 

E-mail: peter@unb.br

The closest string problem (CSP), also known as the motif finding problem, represents an active and very fertile research topic of combinatorial optimization. The problem is NP-hard and hast numerous applications, especially in computational biology and coding theory. Given a set of sequences, the task is to find another sequence that is as close as possible to all given sequences (with respect to a certain metric, usually the Hamming distance).
 
The CSP is mostly modeled as an integer linear programming problem but there are also other approaches, e.g. multiobjective optimization or graph theoretical models.
 
Similar problems are the closest substring problem and the farthest (sub-) string problem. 
 
For the symposium are invited any contributions for solving the CSP or a similar problem.

Geometric numerical integration is a systematic approach for the discretization of differential equations aimed at preserving geometric and analytic properties of the continuous equations. Another name widely used for this approach is that of structure-preserving algorithms. 
 
This workshop should be seen in the context of an emerging trend where new branches of mathematics enter applications.
 
For example the area of discrete integrable systems has only been loosely connected to numerical analysis of ordinary differential equations up to recently. Similarly structure preservation in the context of stochastic differential equations is still largely unexplored. One connection of the two fields is through the theory of discrete symmetries, another through algebraic combinatorics and B-series.
 
The intention is to explore the possibility of development of new mathematical tools to meet the upcoming challenges of science and engineering.
 
We would like to bring together experts in these fileds for discussing recent developments and future directions of research.

In order to solve numerous problems described in advanced models proposed by such disciplines as Physics, Biology and Engineering, we need to use the advanced methods of calculations. Analytic methods are either unavailable, or difficult to compute by traditional means.
 
The lattice gas models can perform such tasks efficiently, since they simulate the processes at the same speed, no matter if the geometry, boundary conditions and the system itself are simple or complex. The simplicity of including of complex boundary conditions together with the simplicity of computational mesh used by lattice gas methods are the main advantages of these methods in comparison with e.g. classical CFD methods.
 
The aim of the Symposium is the presentation of problems where the cellular automata and particularly the lattice-Boltzmann methods (LBM) are the useful tools for their solutions.
 
Particularly, the presented papers are concerned on newest advantages in lattice-Boltzmann simulations, i.e.:
 
  • LBM models for two or more phase flows (e.g. droplet dynamics and coalescence, wetting phenomena)
  • LBM models for the flows in porous structures (e.g. regional groundwater flow simulations)
  • Applications of LBM to problems with moving boundaries (e.g. the growth of the deposits of particles on filtration fibers)
  • Coupling of LBM algorithms with classical turbulence models (k-e, LES) for the solving of turbulent flow problems (e.g. simulations of open-channel flows)
  • Application of LBM for non-Newtonian fluid flows (e.g. polymer technology, blood flow)
  • Application of LBM for nonisotermal problems and many others.

With the dramatic increase of computing power, simulation based design using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and ultimately virtual reality, has become increasingly important in science and engineering practice. Due to the discretization errors of the numerical methods and approximations of the models used in CFD, errors and associated uncertainties for CFD simulations must be carefully estimated before the simulation results can be used for design in industrial applications. Traditional methods for estimating numerical errors (verification) and modeling errors (validation) are only applicable to Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and they have advantages and disadvantages. New challenge is how to develop new V&V methodology and procedures for multiscale models such as large eddy simulation (LES) and some twophase models (e.g., dispersed bubbly flow) where the numerical and modeling errors are strongly coupled and may cancel each other out. 

 
Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
 
  • Code verification
  • Solution verification
  • Validation
  • Richardson Extrapolation
  • Strategies of achieving the asymptotic range
  • Numerical benchmarks for V&V
  • V &V RANS
  • V & V for LES
  • V & V for hybrid RANS/LES
  • Optimization of CFD for minimum simulation error
  • V&V for two-phase or multi-phase flows
  • Single-grid method
  • Variants of grid convergence index (GCI) method
  • Least square method
  • Correction factor method
  • Factors of safety method
  • Statistical analysis for reliability and conservativeness of V&V methods
  • Expert network for building extensive database for V&V

The Symposium will focus on the presentation of papers dealing with the wide range of L-B applications.  
 
The participants will discuss the possibilities of using the L-B approach in the wider context of modern computational methods.
 
Lattice-Boltzmann Methods for Physics, Biology and Engineering Design Application. In order to solve numerous problems described in advanced models proposed by such disciplines as Physics, Biology and Engineering, we need to use the advanced methods of calculations. Analytic methods are either unavailable, or difficult to compute by traditional means.
 
The lattice gas models can perform such tasks efficiently, since they simulate the processes at the same speed, no matter if the geometry, boundary conditions and the system itself are simple or complex. The simplicity of including of complex boundary conditions together with the simplicity of computational mesh used by lattice gas methods are the main advantages of these methods in comparison with e.g. classical CFD methods.
 
The aim of the Symposium is the presentation of problems where the cellular automata and particularly the lattice-Boltzmann methods (LBM) are the useful tools for their solutions.
 
Particularly, the presented papers are concerned on newest advantages in lattice-Boltzmann simulations, i.e.:
 
  1. LBM models for two or more phase flows (e.g. droplet dynamics and coalescence, wetting phenomena)
  2. LBM models for the flows in porous structures (e.g. regional groundwater flow simulations)
  3. Applications of LBM to problems with moving boundaries (e.g. the growth of the deposits of particles on filtration fibers)
  4. Coupling of LBM algorithms with classical turbulence models (k-e, LES) for the solving of turbulent flow problems (e.g. simulations of open-channel flows)
  5. Application of LBM for non-Newtonian fluid flows (e.g. polymer technology, blood flow)
  6. Application of LBM for nonisotermal problems and many others.
Taking into account your experience and achievements in that field of research, I would like to invite you to participate in the Symposium.

Future electronics will integrate classical circuitry, nanoelements, and quantum-mechanical components. The Symposium is dedicated on the developments of new effective codes and the enhancements of the existed circuit simulation and design tools for hybrid classical- nano- and quantum-mechanical integrations. 
 
A prospective computer aided design tool can be based, for instance, on an ultra-fast PSPICE circuit simulator solving classical electronics and quantum-mechanical equations in their circuit (Kron’s) form. This software tool can be equipped by additional codes based on different numerical algorithms for solving quantum equations for those applications which are preferable.
 
The component library should be filled by verified circuit or mathematical semi-empirical models of most frequently used micro-, nano-, and quantum-based components. The tool's manufacturing codes should be modified further to allow the nano- and quantum-based circuits implementations.
 
These developments were started a few years ago in academia and they require consolidated work of mathematicians, physicists, and electronic engineers.

It is well known a matter of the multibody dynamics with the Coulomb friction, including bodies undergoing impacts et cetera, is intensively under discussions and investigation. Such systems are related to systems of variable structure with discontinuous right-hand sides. They may have different order in different domains of the state space. Even state spaces may differ. Complete investigation of such systems is impossible without help of computer modeling and simulation of high quality. On the other hand preliminary qualitative analysis makes it possible to divide the space of parameters into domains of similar dynamical behavior with essentially different dynamics corresponding to other domains. This reduces in high degree a large amount of needed numeric experimentations.

The particles-based computational methods identified by Lagrangian particle methods have been extensively developed during last two decades. The ability to describe the collective motion of solid objects by considering the behaviours of individual constituent is distinguished feature of the particle-based methods. The discrete-element method (DEM) initially aimed to simulate granular materials is probably the most popular method of this type applied in many fields of engineering. Recently various approaches and modelling techniques known as molecular dynamics (MD), Brownian dynamics (BD) and/or similar method are used to form constitutive equations on different length and time scales. Various solids, fluid flows, multi-physical fiends, chemical processes and even biological objects may be described by various kinds of particle-particle and particle-field interactions. Managing of particle methods is still a challenge even for advanced computers, therefore, novel computational and visualisation technologies including the parallel and distributed computing are expected. Practical applications in traditional industries, energy and environmental as well as biological sectors are expected  
 
Hence, we aim to use this mini-symposium as an opportunity to exchange the ideas on particle-based methods bridging different scales and disciplines. 
 
A few topics are listed below but other contributions are equally welcome:
 
  • conceptual developments  in the DEM and other alternative approaches;
  • simulation of granular flows;
  • deformation  and fracture of solids;
  • particles in fluids and multi-physical environment; 
  • modelling of mixtures and composites;
  • modelling of biomaterials;
  • novel interaction models of particles interaction,
  • parallel computing;
  • computational and visualisation technologies;
  • industrial applications. 
84) Title: “Environmental Impact on the Degradation of Historical Masonry: Computational Simulations and Experimental Measurements

Organizer: Prof. Oldrich Zmeskal, Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Chemistry, Purkynova 118, CZ‐612 00 Brno, Czech Republic 

 

E-mail: zmeskal@fch.vutbr.cz

The overall degradation of a historical building material or structure can be expressed, in the simplest way, by a qualitative or numerical indicator of the global condition level which determines the loss of performance of the considered material, building part or the whole building under its climatic environment over time. The load-bearing structures and surfaces are parts of a historical building where the assessment of the deterioration level is of critical importance. Possible failure of a structure may have fatal consequences including the highest cost ever, the human lives. Surface layers, on the other hand, present an aesthetic quality of a historical building which can damage its overall appearance if lost. The interface between structure and surface layer is another critical point because if the adhesion of both layers is compromised, whole parts of surface layer can be detached.
 
Computer simulation is a powerful tool for an assessment of the degradation level of a particular historical material or structure. However, the quality of input data presents a critical factor for the achievement of reliable results. Therefore, in any analysis of the environmental impact on the degradation of historical masonry computational simulations and experimental measurements are supposed to be done together.
The symposium brings together mathematicians active in numerical analysis and applied mathematics on one side, and experimental physicists and materials engineers working in the field of degradation of historical materials on the other. 
 
The main topics include but are not limited to:
 
  • Characterization of environmental impact on historical masonry
  • Acquisition of input data for computational analyses
  • Computational simulation of degradation processes
  • Computer-aided service life estimates

Baxter-Wu model is a simple “toy” model introduced by Baxter and Wu at 1973 for describing critical phase transitions and ferrimagnetism. It consists of Ising-like spins located at the vertices of a triangular lattice. Unlike other more common models, such as Ising and Heisenberg, the three spins of every triangular face interact with a three-body interaction. This model is a special case of a more general one, introduced by Wood and Griffiths at 1972, in which the Hamiltonian takes into account not only the triplet interaction but also nearest neighbor pair interaction of the usual Ising type.
 
The key topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 
  • analytic methods for the Baxter-Wu model
  • 1st order Phase transitions of  the Baxter-Wu model
  • critical points for zero and negative external magnetic fields
  • low-temperature Phase Transitions of the Baxter-Wu model
  • Monte Carlo algorithms, Monte Carlo Renormalization Group for this model 
  • optimization/ parallelization of  Monte- Carlo algorithms for this model
  • generalizations/more complex models with triple spin interactions (e.g. spin-1 Baxter-Wu model, dilute Baxter-Wu model, random-field Baxter-Wu model) 
 
Extended abstract/short papers must be prepared according to the guidelines of the Proceedings of ICNAAM 2014 and sent by e-mail to the organizer on or before July 15, 2014.

Organizer: Prof. Michael Todinov, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, Wheatley, OX33 1HX 

 

E-mail: mtodinov@brookes.ac.uk

The potential application of methods for analysis, optimisation and control of networks reaches across many diverse fields. Methods for determining the reliability and availability of networks for example, have already become important analytical tools in many industries.
 
There is increasing demand for optimal control of large and complex networks in real time, which improves the quality of service of real networks and reduces to a minimum the disruption caused by failures, overloading and congestion. There is also increased demand for optimal network topologies characterised by a high resistance to failures, overloading and congestion.
 
Gaps and critical problems in the theory of networks also need to be addressed. For example, despite the years of intensive research in the area of static flow networks, the classical algorithms for maximising the throughput flow in flow networks suffer a critical flaw – they leave highly undesirable parasitic flow loops in the optimised networks, associated with wastage of energy and resources and increased levels of congestion.
 
This mini-symposium will provide a forum for discussing methods and algorithms for analysis, optimisation and control of static networks, stochastic networks, repairable networks, networks with disturbed flows and reliability networks. The mini-symposium will also provide a forum for presenting and discussing methods for quantifying the uncertainty in the networks performance.
 
Important topics of the mini-symposium will be the application aspects of the discussed methods, related to:
 
  • Computer networks;
  • Transportation networks;
  • Production networks;
  • Power networks;
  • Reliability networks of complex systems

Research of multiphase flows is essential for understanding of various natural phenomena and proper design for several engineering problems.  Multiphase flows and heat transfer are important in the fields of power, chemical process, cryogenic, space, nuclear, bio-medical etc.  
 
Modelling of heat transfer with phase change (both boiling and condensation) is needed to analyse steady state and transient behaviour of heat pipes, which are very commonly used these days.  Many industrial processed require reliable estimation of interactions between the phases. Modelling of combustion of fuel droplets in internal combustion engines is the need of the hour to increase the fuel efficiency and to reduce the engine emissions.
 
The successful design of equipment and processes that involve multiphase flows crucially depends on accurately predicting the interactions (mechanical, thermal and chemical) between the phases.  The researchers have come up with different mathematical models of varying complexities, from homogenous equilibrium model to seven-equation model with two velocities and two pressures, to predict the behaviour of multiphase flows.  Boiling and condensation are key processes in the extraction of energy from solar, fossil and nuclear fuels because large amounts of energy can be stored in the form of latent heat.  
 
The physical mechanisms underlying multiphase flows and heat transfer as well as the interplay of these mechanisms are very complex.  The main objective of this symposium is to bring together developers and users of different numerical approaches and codes.  This will facilitate them to share their experience in the development and validation of the algorithms and the difficulties and limitations of the different methods.  
Topics that will be covered in the conferene, but not limited to: 
 
  • Interface Tracking
  • Turbulence in multiphase flows
  • Direct numerical simulations of flows with phase change
  • Interfacial momentum, heat and mass transfer modelling
  • Segregated and dispersed multiphase flow models
  • Interface tracking models
  • Multiphase Reactions

Organizers: Prof. Thanh Tran-Cong and Dr. Canh-Dung Tran, University of Southern Queensland, Australia 

 

E-mail: thanh.tran-cong@usq.edu.au, canh-dung.tran@usq.edu.au

While modelling at the level of a single scale, such as continuum mechanics or molecular dynamics is becoming relatively mature, we have seen various exciting developments of multiscale modelling and computational methods for complex materials together with their applications. The complex fluids and nano-technology are good examples for multiscale modelling techniques. We believe in the prospect of many new advances in the multi-scale related topics from computational approaches to practical applications, and therefore hope that the symposium will provide a forum for timely dissemination and productive discussion of these new advances. Your topical contribution to this symposium will be most welcome.
 
Deadline for submitting your abstracts: July 20, 2014. Other deadlines and relevant information can be found in section of Dates of Importance, at http://www.icnaam.org

96) Title: The Metabolic Cost of Neural Mechanisms, Efficient Coding and Metabolic Efficiency

Organizer: Prof. Dr. Abdelmalik Moujahid, Computational Intelligence Group, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, Donostia-San sebastián, Spain 

 

E-mail: jibmomoa@gmail.com

The aim of this Research Topic is to discuss the interpretation of Hodgkin-Huxley-like neuron models as energy models able to quantify the metabolic cost associated to the signalling activity of real biological neurons. Since the work of Hodgkin and Huxley, who where able to describe the membrane currents of the squid axon via a model in differential equations, quantitative mathematical models have proved to be an indispensable tool in pursuing the goal of understanding neuron dynamics. Models of that type are frequently used to generate and analyze spike trains with temporal characteristics similar to the ones emitted by real neurons. As these models are kinetic models with no energy considerations, it could be of interest to further develop them in such a way that they could be used to study the relation between the dynamical properties of a neuron and its energy implications.

134) Title: Multi-Scale Mathematical and Numerical Analysis of Involution-Constrained PDEs 

Organizers: Dr. Alexander A. Lukyanov1, Dr. Hadi Hajibeygi2, Prof. Evgeny Romenski3

This symposium aims to gather world researchers who work on various aspects of multi-scale mathematical and numerical modeling of physical and geometrical complexities involved in porous media, multiphase-multicomponent flow and transport, and solid mechanics. These topics can be characterized by involution-constrained PDEs, with specific focus on the algorithms that satisfy the involutions, constraining the allowable solutions. The existing fundamental issues as well as evolving theoretical approaches for PDEs with involutions have received a significant interest in many scientific and technological disciplines (e.g., oil industry, aerospace sector). 
 
Multi-scale simulation methods are promising approaches to facilitate direct simulation of a large number of complex physical processes in different media (e.g., porous media, granular materials, composite materials). Their developments are motivated since classical methods become too expensive if employed for high-resolution grids generated on realistic size domains. Specially, the various thermo-mechanical processes, subject to a wide range of initial and boundary conditions, leads to strongly coupled nonlinear equations of different types. Hence, accounting for high-resolution grids as well as the nonlinear coupling terms efficiently motivates the need for developments of multiscale numerical and simulation techniques.
 
As a promising approach, different multiscale methods have been developed. For example, to account for the scale differences between geological and flow simulation models, multiscale discretization strategies can be used. This method bridges the scale differences by utilizing different grid systems and different physical scales. While the fluid flow modeling is conducted on a coarse-scale level, using locally computed basis functions, the hyperbolic transport equations are solved at the fine-scale resolution described by the geological data.
 
However, in spite of a perfectly adequate general understanding and theory, numerical approaches do not fully agree in detail, especially for multi-scale mathematical and numerical analysis of the involution-constrained PDEs. Knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of these different numerical approaches leads to a better understanding of their impact on various applications and future research on improving and extending modeling capabilities. 
 
This symposium aims to motivate discussions on fundamental aspects of the different modelling and computational approaches for the involution-based PDEs, identify the areas for improvements, establish possible inter-disciplinary complementary collaborations, and formulate key challenging topics for future research and meetings.
     
A list of key topics involves the following items:
 
  1. Multi-scale numerical methods. Monotone multi-scale schemes;
  2. Compositional multi-phase / multi-components fluid flow modeling;  
  3. Modeling of large elastoplastic deformation in solids and structures. Dislocation dynamics;
  4. Thermodynamically consistent damage models. Modeling of void nucleation, grow and collapse;
  5. Modeling of fracture propagations. Phase transition;
  6. Numerical methods for high-rate deformation modeling in isotropic and anisotropic solids. Accuracy and stability of numerical methods;

In the last decades, increasing attention has been given to nonlinear differential equations of various types such as moving boundary problems, time delay problems, and fractional derivatives owing to their importance and potential applications in science and engineering. Different from numerical techniques, analytical approaches can give explicit solutions to these problems, which could reflect on the nature and internal structure of the physical processes considered, and provide easy-to-use explicit formulae for estimating various physical quantities and system properties. We invite researchers to submit their up-to-date research work on various aspects of such complex nonlinear equations with applications to various natural processes including solid deformation, mass/heat transfer, fluid flow, and other multiphysics instabilities across the scale spectrum (e.g. shear bands, fracture patterns, earthquakes, complex fluids, coupled electromechanical processes in nanotechnology and nanobiomedicine).
 
Potential topics include, but are not limited to: 
 
  • New analytical techniques for various kinds of complicated nonlinear problems in science, engineering, and biology.

a) Goals/motivation: numerical and symbolic computation plays a vital interdisciplinary role in different disciplines like applied mathematics and information systems, computer science, physics, biology, medicine and engineering. This symposium is designed to exercise such multidisciplinary nature of numerical and symbolic computation. In particular, the symposium focuses on the topic of extracting geometric properties of curves and surfaces from incomplete data (including exact and noisy measurements) based on numeric and symbolic computation. To fill in missing information various advanced and novel scientific techniques can be invoked, which is to be tackled in this symposium.
 
b) Topics of importance: high accuracy measurements of lengths, curves, geometrical properties like curvature, motion parameters, shape retrieval and other missing information are vital to the analysis of the hidden structure not fully transparent in various noisy or noiseless data.  In addition, the asymptotic behaviour of the proposed algorthms/schemes (e.g. interpolation, approximation or moddeling via dynamical and PDEs systems) are   important aspects intended to be examined within the scope of our symposium. On top of the above, the analysis and the computational aspects of the trajectory reconstruction determined by non-linear algebraic systems (including stability) or studying different  optimization schemes for curve/shape retrieval will aslo be included to this symposium. Not limited to the mentioned above topics, other papers on numerics, applied mathematics and information systems are welcome (in particular, multidimensiononal analysis, computation in dynamical systems and modelling of risk in banking and insurance).
 
c) Symposium format: it is intended to consist of at least 2-3 oral sessions run during 1-2 day(s) in September 22nd-28th of 2014. The speakers will deliver the talks and possible software presentation in 25-30 minutes time intervals. Some informal meeting for general discussion at the end of this symposium is planned.  One invited speaker will open the symposium. The chair (co-chairs) will present at least one paper. If the numer of papers is large then some papers may be re-allocated to the poster session (if agreed with ICNAAM organizers).

Interdisciplinarity aims at obtaining the new by crossing boundaries between  academic disciplines, and thinking across them.
Computer aided medical planning and simulation is a rapidly evolving research field that is going to alter dramatically the way practitioners perform their job. Mathematical models and computer simulations have a huge impact on modern medicine and engineering, in the treatment of diseases, in modeling engineering processes and prototypes and financial planning processes. For instance, a challenge lies in the modeling of the behavior of hard and soft tissue bringing together researchers from mathematics, medicine, economics, computer science and engineering.

In mathematics and physics, a soliton is a solitary wave that maintains its shape while it travels at constant speed. The soliton phenomenon was first described by John Scott Russell (1808–1882) who observed a solitary wave in the Union Canal in Scotland. He reproduced the phenomenon in a wave tank and named it the “Wave of Translation”. Historically, the concept of solitons emerged in mathematics literature and was reserved for optical self-trapped beams obeying integrable nonlinear partial diferential equations. In nonlinear optics, the so called nonlinear Schroedinger equation represents such an example. However most nonlinear physical are described by non-integrable evolution equations. In this case the solution of the wave equation was referred to as “solirary wave”. In general, soliton and solitary waves have some apecific interaction and collision properties that differ from one another, but today's all self-trapped beams are called solitons. 
 
In optics, the term soliton is used to refer to any optical field that does not change during propagation. Optical spatial solitons are self-trapped optical beams that propagate and interact with each other as real particles. Soliton generation is the result of strong nonlinear interaction between the light and propagating medium. Progress in this field occupies a unique position in optics and photonics. 
 
Solitons can be formed in one and two transverse dimensions which are denoted by (1+1)D and (2+1)D respectively. However the situation in two dimensions is anisotropic and more complicated, So in order to study of the soliton characterization, one must resort to numerical methods that will involve two stages: First special methods are used to solve corresponding material equations, which be solved numerically, and Second is a beam propagation method which is used to propagate optical beam in a medium 
 
In addition for many experimental setups, we need to select the parameters that are resulted from numerical simulation, because of high sensitivity. In this way I suggest a symposium titled Numerical study of Optical Solitons, containing the following topics: 
 
  • Optical Solitons generation in differente media, 
  • Optical Solitons Propagation in fibers or crystals, 
  • Optical Solitons collisions and interactions, 
  • Special and temporal Optical Solitons, 
  • Bright and Dark Optical Solitons, 
  • Modeling of the Optical Solitons, 
  • Stability of the Optical Solitons, 
  • New Numerical Simulation of the Optical Solitons, 
  • Applications of the Optical Solitons.

150) Title: Development and Application of High-order Methods for Computational Fluid Dynamics 

Organizer: Dr. Ping Lu, Center for Numerical Simulation and Modeling, Department of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, TX, 76019, USA

 

E-mail: ping.lu@mavs.uta.edu

In recent years, high–order numerical methods have been widely used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for solving flows with complex features. Traditionally, lower–order methods are preferred for their simplicity and robustness, especially in applications where a not accurate solution, though obtained with lower effort, may be satisfactory. On the other hand, in certain engineering applications where the solution structure is complex and small length scales and their evolution in long time have to be adequately resolved, the use of a low–order method may result in unacceptable solutions. Often such applications involve shocks or high gradients and complicated smooth region structures, which require special high–order schemes, possibly endowed with non–oscillatory property and capable of dealing with complex domains. 
 
High–order numerical methods have been used principally for the direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow, in the past two decades. Among the advantages are the fast convergence, the low dispersion and dissipation errors, and the faster input/output handling due to smallest amount of data. To attain an equal formal accuracy order, high–order methods require lower computational cost compared, for instance, to a method with quadratic convergence. In addition, in cases where long-time integration is necessary, the use of a high–order method is more profitable in terms of resolution capability. 
  
The main topics include but are not limited to: 
 
  • Compact finite–difference schemes 
  • Essentially non–oscillatory schemes and its weighted improvement 
  • Discontinuous Galerkin method 
  • Spectral volume and spectral difference method 
  • High-order spatial discretizations 
  • High–order numerical methods for the solution of hyperbolic systems, which admit discontinuities, such as the compressible Euler equations. 
  • High–order numerical methods for the solution of advective or advective–dominated problems, such as the Navier–Stokes equations at high Reynolds numbers.

Realistic simulations of electromagnetic phenomena, such as scattering from airborne targets, scattering from human tissues, radiation from antennas, transmission through optical imaging  systems, metamaterials, and photonic crystals can be extremely challenging. Solutions of those  problems in diverse application areas often require fast and iterative algorithms, which may provide accurate results using limited computational resources, e.g., CPU time and memory. Sequential and  parallel implementations of fast and iterative algorithms are continuously being developed in the literature as a result of need for more accurate, efficient, and realistic simulations. Considering recent efforts, it is not surprising that there are multiple algorithms and their alternative implementations for the solution of a given problem. Along this direction, the choice of the algorithm, its implementation, and solution parameters are of utmost importance in terms of efficiency and accuracy. 
 
We invite researchers to submit and present their works on a variety of topics, including 
 
  • fast solvers for surface and volume integral equations, 
  • multipole-based algorithms, 
  • diagonalization and expansion methods, 
  • FFT-based algorithms, 
  • matrix compression algorithms, 
  • iterative techniques, 
  • preconditioning, 
  • recursive methods, 
  • high-frequency techniques, 
  • parallelization and high-performance computing, 
  • hardware acceleration methods, 
  • programming techniques, and 
  • applications of fast solvers in computational electromagnetics. 
We are particularly interested in new methods, techniques, and implementations that are developed for fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems in all ranges of frequencies, as well as for similar applications in electrostatics and magnetostatics.

153) Title: Complexity, Fractals and Fractional Dynamics 

Organizer: Prof. Carlo Cattani, University of Salerno, Italy and  Prof. Xiao-Jun Yang, University of Mining and Technology,  Xuzhou, China

 

E-mail: ccattani@unisa.it

Complexity, Fractals, and Fractional order models are the main focus of this workshop. The recent progress in advanced calculus, symbolic and numerical computation have opened new frontiers in Engineering-Physical and Mathematical applications  thus enabling us to face many challenging problems such as non-linear problems, scale depending problems, non-integer dimensional problems, and non-differentiable functions. In different fields of research, technology and applications there is an urgent need of mathematical tools enabling to study   fractional order problems, complex problems  and fractals, like for instance new materials with  extreme mechanical  behaviour or traffic optimization problems in communications. Fractal theory, originally based on the analysis of functions with strange behaviours, was developed in the last decade by handling more complex fractal-like phenomena in science, nature and biology. 
 
Fractional calculus on fractal sets or on unsmooth functions also called local fractional calculus has been also developed to describe the fundamental equations of physics by using suitable local fractional differential equations.  
 
The fractional differential equations were applied to investigate  some  anomalous still unsolved problems  which appear in science and engineering. The analytical, numerical methods and the fractional integral transforms can be  used to deal with these types of equations. This  workshop  will cover the recent progresses in complexity, fractals and fractional calculus. Topics to be covered but not limited are given below: 
 
Fractional order differential equations
  • Fractional order singular problems
  • Analysis with local fractional operators
  • Fractional integral transforms
  • Fractional and multi-scale problems
  • Computational problems in fractional calculus
Computational problems in fractal theory, fractal sets, unsmooth functions
  • Fractional order problems in biomedical image analysis, fluid and solid mechanics, rock/ physics, DNA and signal analysis
Real world problems from science and engineering, complexity

The Symposium aims to propose random models to take account of changes in the data in real models. Under this assumption, we propose many resolution methodologies. The natural one is the re-optimisation strategy that consists in optimally resolving each subset. But this strategy is not realistic, because we have exponential sub-problems to resolve. As an alternative, we propose the a priori strategy:  we consider an a priori solution for the initial problem and then we update it by a simple way, called modification method, in order to have a solution for each sub-problem. This strategy was successfully applied for several Probabilistic Combinatorial Problems such as the probabilistic travelling salesman Problem, the probabilistic minimum spanning tree problem.

E-mail: C.Leo@uws.edu.au

Engineering systems are often described by a system of partial differential equations, as is the case generally with problems in physics. A linearized version of such systems is often possible under idealized geometries and boundary conditions, representing a useful first approximation or benchmark for more sophisticated solution methods. A very popular and powerful method for solving such linearized systems is based on the use of integral transformations (Laplace, Fourier, Henkel, etc.). This often leads to analytical or semi-analytical solutions, with its well-known advantages (rapid computation, pedagogic, visibility of the causality links), making them ideally suited for preliminary design and analysis. A quick literature review shows that a large number of such solutions already exist, but new ones are constantly being proposed, confirming the strength of this solution method and deserving of better recognition amongst researchers and engineers alike. The proposed symposium aims to bring together practitioners and researchers of this method to exchange ideas and encourage the use of this method.

 

163) Title: Modeling and Simulation of Gas-Liquid Membrane Contactor  

Organizer: Prof. Dr. N.M. Ghasem, United Arab Emirates University, Al-Ain city, United Arab Emirates 

 

E-mail: nayef@uaeu.ac.ae

Membrane technology is an important unit operation in natural gas processing and water treatment.  Membranes have become an established technology for carbon dioxide removal. Carbon dioxide, which falls into the group of acid gases, is typically found in natural gas streams at various levels. Carbon dioxide is highly corrosive in combination with water, and can destroy pipelines and equipment unless it is removed or expensive construction materials are used. The presence of carbon dioxide in natural gas stream reduces the heating value of the gas. In liquefied natural gas plants, CO2 must be removed to prevent freezing in the low-temperature chillers.
 We are looking for papers on this topic that reflect present advances in the application of membranes in these industries.  Our objective is fast publication of high-quality papers that will move ahead the science and make possible successful commercialization of the technology.
 

164) Title: Numerical Methods for High Dimensional Stochastic Systems  

Organizers: Max Gunzburger, Florida State University and Clayton Webster, Oak Ridge National Laboratory 

 

E-mail: mgunzburger@fsu.edu, webstercg@ornl.gov

Our modern treatment of predicting the behavior of physical and engineering problems relies on approximating solutions in terms of high dimensional spaces, particularly in the case when the input data (coefficients, forcing terms, initial and boundary conditions, geometry) are affected by large amounts of uncertainty.  For higher accuracy, simulations must increase the number of random variables (dimensions), and expend more effort resolving smooth or even discontinuous behavior within each individual dimension. The resulting explosion in computational effort is a symptom of the curse of dimensionality and this mini-symposium aims at exploring efforts related to efficient stochastic Galerkin, collocation and Monte Carlo finite element methods, error analysis, anisotropy and adaptive methods, high-dimensional multi-resolution analysis, random sampling and sparse grids.
 

165) Title: Mathematical Modeling of Nonhomogeneous Complex Systems  

Organizer: Dr. Evgeny Galakhov, Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Miklukho-Maklaya str. 6, 117198, Moscow, Russia 

 

E-mail: galakhov@rambler.ru

Nonhomogeneous complex systems arise in many fields of science and engineering, such as thermodynamics, acoustics, cell biology, etc. Studying such systems requires development of appropriate mathematical models containing nonlinear partial differential equations or delay differential equations, for which blow-up phenomena can occur. Our purpose is to develop analytical and numerical methods for investigation of such models that may help to describe and predict the behavior of the prototypical systems.

Free surface flows have great importance in various fields of fluid mechanics such as hydraulics and marine engineering problems. A better understanding of the behavior of these flows will result in risk decrement and also optimization of real projects. There are several numerical and experimental methods which developed in recent years for this aim. Particularly, there are some numerical methods such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics that have not a long history in modeling of free surface flows and need to improve their capability in some aspects.  Great gained knowledge will help scientists and researchers to find the best way to solve their problems.

Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM), from which one can find analytical approximate solutions to almost any type of linear or nonlinear PDE, ODE, control, fluid, and thermal science 
problems. In recent years, there has been a great interest in ADM. ADM has been applied to a wide class of linear or nonlinear, stochastic or deterministic, differential or algebraic, and single or system of  equations. Unlike other common methods for solving any physical problem, l i n e a r o r n o n l i n e a r , t h i s m e t h o d s o l v e s m a n y t y p e s o f problems without requiring linearization, discretization, perturbation, or unjustified assumptions that may slightly change the physics of the problem. For a large number of problems, the decomposition method has shown reliable results in providing analytical approximations that converge rapidly. However, this method needs to be improved so that we can apply to more science problems, particularly, nonlinear cases, such as nonlinear Riccati Differential Equation for Control problems, Navier-Stockes Equations for Fluid sciences, Vibration for dynamical systems, and Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics for Thermal sciences, as well as Numerical Computations.
