GIAMBIAGI WINTER SCHOOL *************************************************************************** 1. TENTH J.J. GIAMBIAGI WINTER SCHOOL (comunicado por Guillermo Giménez de Castro) TENTH J.J. GIAMBIAGI WINTER SCHOOL: "Principles and Applications of Fluid Dynamics" Place: Buenos Aires, Argentina ----- Dates: August 11th-16th, 2008 ----- Scientific rationale: -------------------- Fluid dynamics is a broad and interdisciplinary field, with applications that touch almost every aspect of our daily lives. Because of the complexity of the subject and its many applications, it is also challenging and exciting. The aim of this School is to present an introduction to its principles, and to discuss some of its applications in atmospheric, geophysical, astrophysical, and laboratory flows. Recent developments in each area will also be discussed, to find common interests and problems, and to encourage young scientists and students to go into this exciting field of research. The School is intended primarily for graduate students of physics and other disciplines related to the field of fluid dynamics, although advanced undergrad students and postdocs are also encouraged to participate. A satellite workshop on "New Perspectives in Turbulence" will be held on the same dates. Time will be available for discussions of posters and for short conferences. Topics and invited speakers: --------------------------- The School will be organized around six short courses of five hour seach, taught by internationally renowned experts. The topics and lecturers are (titles of the courses to be confirmed): Turbulent flows (Annick Pouquet, NCAR, USA) Turbulence modeling (Charles Meneveau, Johns Hopkins Univ, USA) Atmospheric flows (Joseph Tribbia, NCAR, USA) Laboratory flows (Jose Wesfreid, ESPCI Paris, France) Flows in space (William Matthaeus, Bartol Research Inst., USA) Relativistic flows (Swadesh Mahajan, Univ. of Texas at Austin, USA) About Giambiagi Schools: ----------------------- The Giambiagi Winter School is organized by the Physics Department of the School of Exact and Natural Sciences, University of Buenos Aires. Each year the School is devoted to a different topic, and its main purpose is to bring together world specialists with graduate students and young researchers. Partial financial assistance will be provided to support a limited number of students from Latin America. Organizing Committee: -------------------- Sergio Dasso, Pablo Dmitruk, Daniel Gomez, Pablo Minini, and Fernando Minotti. Deadlines: --------- 15 Feb 2008: Pre-registration 28 Mar 2008: Registration (for students asking for financial support) 30 Apr 2008: Registration (no financial support) Financial support and registration fees: --------------------------------------- There are no registration fees to attend to the School or to the satellite workshop. Partial financial support will be available for a limited number of students from Argentina and Latin America.
