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.

Organizers: Charles R. Doering
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Peter Constantin
University of Chicago, Illinois
