Center for Analysis, Scientific computing and Applications, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, (last year). The position is funded by the Initial Training Network FIRST ("Fronts and Interfaces in Science and Technology") of the EU. (see http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/index.cfm/jobs/jobDetails/33587070 ) Colloidal particles play an important role in technological and biological processes. A main issue which influences the colloidal dynamics within a porous medium, e.g., the soil, is the process of flocculation. Its accurate description in the context of advection-diffusion-reaction equations is not only of great impact since the microstructure of the porous medium depends on the attachment of flocculated particle clusters but also because contaminant transport is dictated by colloidal particles. In the project a mathematical model should be set up rigorously which describes the above mentioned phenomena. We expect multiscale problems to emerge possibly connecting continuum and discrete scales. Special attention should also be paid to the numerical realization within the framework of an existing software. We are looking for a candidate who has a strong affinity for at least one of the following fields: - analysis of PDEs - numerics of PDEs - mathematical modelling Please send your application to Dr. Alexander Prechtel (prechtel@am.uni-erlangen.de) and Dr. Adrian Muntean (a.muntean@tue.nl) ------ Subject: Contents, Kinetic and Related Models 3:2 From: "Liwei Ning" Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 15:07:38 -0500 Kinetic and Related Models (KRM) Volume: 3, Number: 2 June 2010 http://www.aimsciences.org/journals/displayPapers1.jsp?pubID=369 We offer a couple of weeks free online access to the full paper of KRM 3-2.
