We expect that SIAM-SEAS 2015 will continue to provide an inspiring and productive forum in applied mathematics to get acquainted with the most recent developments, to stimulate and exchange new ideas, and to formulate new challenging problems that will have an impact on diverse fields of applications. The conference will feature the following plenary speakers: Yuefan Deng, Irena Lasiecka, Tai-Ping Liu, James Nagy We invite scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and students (graduate and undergraduate) in all areas of applied mathematics, from the United States and from other countries, to participate. There will be limited funding for student travel support, and there will be three prizes for the best student presentations and posters. There are three formats of participation: Minisymposia, contributed talks and a poster session. The important deadlines are as follows: 1. Submission of minisymposium proposals by minisymposium organizers is due by January 5th, 2015. 2. Submission of abstracts for minisymposium talks, contributed talks and posters is due by February 23rd, 2015. Please refer to the conference website for more details: http://people.cas.uab.edu/~cnavasca/siam-seas/ Information on SIAM-SEAS can be found from SIAM's website, where you can access the conference website as well: http://www.siam.org/sections/seas/ ------ Subject: Winter School on Computational Fluid Dynamics From: Daniel Ruprecht Date: October 23, 2014 The Institute of Computational Science (ICS) at the University of Lugano (USI) is pleased to announce a winter school on ''Computational Fluid Dynamics - Modeling, Simulation, Validation'' November 10 to November 14, 2014 Lugano, Switzerland The winter school will cover the modeling of fluid flow, turbulence and all major numerical discretization schemes, such as finite differences, spectral methods, finite elements, and finite volumes. Moreover, two surface flow and complex applications such as combustion modeling and their validation will be treated. For more information, please see below or visit http://icsweb.inf.unisi.ch/cms/index.php/component/content/article/12-news/148-fomics-winter-school-on-computational-fluid-dynamics.html Speakers: Dominik Obrist (Uni Bern); Sven Gross (RWTH Aachen); Ioannis Mantzaras (PSI Villingen); Patrick Jenny (ETH Z??rich) The course will start with an introduction to the Navier-Stokes equations, i.e. the mathematical model for incompressible flow, and with the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, including the direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow using finite and compact differences and spectral methods. Finite elements for fluid flow and free surface flow will be treated next, followed by combustion modeling. Basic thermodynamic principles as well as the validation of the numerically obtained results will be discussed. In the last part of the course, finite volumes methods for compressible flow will be considered. The course is designed to give a comprehensive overview on state-of-the art numerical techniques not only for laminar and turbulent flow, but also for two surface flow and combustion. In addition to numerical methods, also their application and validation will be considered. ------ Subject: Tenure Track Position, Univ of Louisiana at Lafayette From: Ralph Baker Kearfott Date: October 24, 2014 The Department of Mathematics at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor.
