After an interruption, it has been decided to restart the series. In 2002, a BAIL conference has been organized in Perth, Australia, 8th-12th July. For information on the past conferences, please consult the web-site: http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/general/BAIL2002/ In 2004, a BAIL Conference will be organized in Toulouse, France. About the BAIL 2004 Conference ------------------------------ Date: 5th-9th July, 2004 Location: Toulouse, France Organization: the meeting will be organized jointly by ONERA (J. Cousteix) and IMFT (J. Mauss) http://www.onecert.fr/ http://www.imft.fr/ Topics: All aspects of computational and analytical methods for boundary and interior layers, and singular perturbation problems. Topics in fluid mechanics involving boundary layers are welcome, including flow modelling (stability, laminar-turbulent transition, turbulence,...), interactive boundary layers, simulation of boundary layer in Navier-Stokes solvers, boundary layer perturbation (vortices, wall perturbations,...), boundary layer receptivity and control. More generally, topics in any field in which boundary layers and interior layers occur are welcome. Multi-scale problems are also in the scope of the meeting. Call for Papers --------------- You are invited to submit a summary to the conference organizers. The length of the summary should not be larger than two A4 pages. Please send your summary electronically to Bail2004@onecert.fr in PDF format if possible. The final papers (maximum length of 6 A4 pages) will be included in the conference proceedings. Deadlines --------- Deadline for summary submissions: 3rd November 2003 Notification of acceptance: 19th January 2004 Deadline for paper submission: 30th April 2004 Intent to participate in the conference --------------------------------------- To have a first idea about the participants, could you please tell if: a) you intend to participate in the conference b) you intend to propose a paper Send your intent to Bail2004@onecert.fr ------ Subject: PhD Position at Norwegian University of Science and Technology From: Arvid Naess Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 13:47:28 +0200 PhD POSITION AT CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE AT THE NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Potential candidates for a PhD position at the Centre of Excellence for Ships and Ocean Structures at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology are cordially invited to submit their expression of interest. Further information will then be provided (after July 20). The centre web site: www.cesos.ntnu.no The ideal candidate is one with a good background in numerical analysis, hydrodynamics or structural analysis and with a desire to participate in the development of methods for response analysis of structures subjected to the ocean environment. This would also involve the use of probabilistic methods.
