Workshop in Celebration of Bjorn Engquist's 60th Birthday: International Forum on Multiscale Methods and Partial Differential EquationsAugust 26 - 27, 2005Organizing Committee:
Weinan E, Co-Chair
(Princeton University)
Bjorn Engquist has been a pioneer in the field of multiscale methods and partial differential equations. This conference celebrates his many contributions and his work. Scientific OverviewIn this forum, we will try to strike a balance between theory, numerics, and applications. In addition, to address some new developments in nonlinear PDE theory and new Numerical methodology, we will focus on multiscale modeling and simulations in fluids and materials, geophysical and environmental science including wave propagation in random media and multiscale climate modeling, free boundary problems arising from materials science, and multi-component fluid dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on the interplay among theory, numerics and applications. To better integrate across these three aspects, we highlight below three main themes:
