Nonlinear Advection Diffusion Equations: Analysis and Applications
10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Ballroom III
The fundamental equations of fluid dynamics present some profound
challenges. Extracting rigorous predictions with physical relevance
from the equations of motion is a difficult task, but substantial
progress has been achieved in recent years. The speakers in this
minisymposium will focus on recent mathematical results for the
incompressible Navier-Stokes and related equations and their relation
to experiments and applications.
