Geometrical Aspects of Hydrodynamics: May 19 – 23, 2014

Application for workshop is now closed. Organized by Krzysztof Gawedzki, Boris Khesin, and Paul Wiegmann Dates: May 19 – 23, 2014 Geometric and group-theoretic methods lie at the foundation of modern studies in hydrodynamics.  Recent applications of fluid dynamics require understanding of fundamental  symmetries of fluids and infinite-dimensional groups featured by hydrodynamical equations. The geometric and topological hydrodynamics is a … Read more
