Workshop on Regularity problems in hydrodynamics
Topic
PIMS/Accelerate Canada Summer School in PDE: Regularity problems in hydrodynamics
More info: http://www.math.ubc.ca/~gustaf/SummerSchool09/
The main focus of this workshop is on global questions for partial differential equations associated with hydrodynamics, including incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, incompressible Euler equations, Boussinesq equations, Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations, and quasigeostrophic equations.
An important goal of this workshop is to facilitate the interaction between people in theoretical, numerical and asymptotic analysis communities. Another goal is to bring together a geographically quite diverse collection of researchers with core common interests.
