Nonlinear phenomena are ubiquitous in the natural world. Very often the nonlinearity coexists with a degree of order, and the associated coherent structures offer a solid reference point for theory and experiments. A noteworthy example are the so-called solitons, localised waves propagating nonlinearly and yet displaying many features of linearity. The theoretical developments in the field of nonlinear evolution phenomena and the mathematical study of coherent structures are relevant to many disparate fields, including nonlinear optics, random media, atmosphere and ocean dynamics, general relativity, high-energy particle physics, plasma physics, fluid and solid mechanics, Bose-Einstein condensation, nonlinear electrical circuits, and reaction-diffusion processes. The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers on the theoretical aspects of these problems with researchers in the many fields of potential application, to discuss recent developments, methodologies and results, and to encourage communication and collaboration. Invited Speakers: Mark Ablowitz IMA Distinguished Lecturer (University of Colorado at Boulder); Adrian Constantin (University of Vienna); Roger Grimshaw (Loughborough University); Peter Janssen (ECMWF); Simon Maskell (QinetiQ); Alan Osborne (University of Torino and Office of Naval Research in Arlington, Virginia); Sergey Turytsin (Aston University) Further information visit the conference pages at: www.ima.org.uk Scientific queries: Beatrice Pelloni, b.pelloni@reading.ac.uk General conference queries: conferences@ima.org.uk ------ Subject: Conference on Simulation and Modeling of Biological Flows From: Adelia Sequeira Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 15:57:53 +0000 The Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the von Karman Institute and the Technical University of Lisbon are organizing an ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Simulation and Modeling of Biological Flows, 21-23 September 2011 at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium (SIMBIO 2011). In recent years there is a growing interest in the simulation and modeling of flows in living organisms. The main applications are related to blood flow in the vessels and airflow in the respiratory tract. But also other applications such as e.g. fluid and solute transport in bones, artificial blood pumps, phonation and speech production fall into the category of biological flows. The aim of the present thematic conference is to bring together scientists and researchers working in this field and providing them a forum for discussion and technical exchanges in this rapidly growing field. Deadline for submitting a 2 page abstract is April 1, 2011.
