Theoretical and Numerical Methods for PDEs from Fluid Problems
The earth that we live on is surrounded by fluids like air and water.
The motion of these fluids are governed by physical laws described by
certain partial differential equations (PDEs).
Thus the analytic and numerical study of these PDEs
is crucial to the understanding, prediction, and control
of the environment that we live in.
In recent years we have witnessed significant progress in
the analytic and numerical study
of partial differential equations originated from fluid problems,
in particular the Navier-Stokes equations and related systems,
both theoretically and
numerically. In particular, there have been interesting progress
in applied and numerical analysis of incompressible fluid flows in
terms asymptotic behavior,
connections between conventional
turbulence theory and the Navier-Stokes models, control of fluids,
and meshless computing, least squares, multi-level and other novel
numerical methods.
We feel that AMS Western Section Meeting offers a good opportunity and timing
for a gathering of leading and active researchers in the underlying areas.
The size of the research community in related fields natually calls
for a two day special session during the Las Vegas meeting.
We believe that this session will serve as a forum for exchange of ideas and
results, for stimulating discussions and for the shaping of future
directions. And this session will enhance interactions among people working
in different subareas or with different approaches.
