Krause [log in to unmask] Date: March 05, 2023 Subject: Lattice Boltzmann Methods with OpenLB, UK, Jun 2023 6th Spring School on Lattice Boltzmann Methods with OpenLB Software Lab in Greenwich/London (UK) 2023 -- Register Now Registration is now open for the Sixth Spring School on Lattice Boltzmann Methods with OpenLB Software Lab that will be held in Greenwich/London, UK from 5th to 9th of June 2023. The spring school introduces scientists and applicants from industry to the theory of LBM and trains them on practical problems. The first half of the week is dedicated to the theoretical fundamentals of LBM up to ongoing research on selected topics. Followed by mentored training on case studies using OpenLB in the second half, where the participants gain deep insights into LBM and its applications. This educational concept offers a comprehensive and personal guided approach to LBM. Participants also benefit from the knowledge exchange during the poster session, coffee breaks, and the excursion. We look forward to your participation. Keep in mind that the number of participants is limited and that the registration follows a first come first serve principle. - More Information: https://www.openlb.net/spring-school-2023 - Registration: https://www.openlb.net/spring-school-registration ------------------------------------------------------- From: Iain Duff [log in to unmask] Date: March 04, 2023 Subject: Sparse Days at CERFACS, France, Jun 2023 The Annual Sparse Days meeting will be held at CERFACS in Toulouse on 19 and 20 June 2023. The deadline for registration is 25th May 2023 using the web site https://sparsedays.cerfacs.fr/en. When you register, you should indicate whether you want to give a talk and whether you want to attend our traditional conference dinner on the evening of Monday 19th June. Although an emphasis will be on parallel aspects, any talk that has an association with sparsity is appropriate. In addition to our core of numerical linear algebra, talks in optimization, data assimilation, scientific machine learning, for example are welcome. The maximum length for the talk and questions is 30 minutes but you are welcome to request a shorter slot. As usual we will not be having parallel sessions so talk times may be negotiable. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Thomas Wihler [log in to unmask] Date: March 07, 2023 Subject: Swiss Numerics Day, Switzerland, Jun 2023 The Swiss Numerics Day 2023 will take place at the University of Bern, Switzerland, on Wednesday, June 7, 2023. The intention of this annual meeting is to bring together researchers in Switzerland who are active in numerical analysis, scientific computing, or high-performance computing. The program consists of two plenary lectures, selected contributed talks, and a poster session. Plenary speakers: Prof. Thomas Richter, University of Magdeburg Prof. Andreas Veeser, Universita degli studi di Milano For more details and registration please follow the link below: https://mathsites.unibe.ch/snd2023/SND2023.html ------------------------------------------------------- From: Firas Dhaouadi [log in to unmask] Date: March 06, 2023 Subject: Turbulence in Environmental Flows, Italy, Jun 2023 A 2-week course on Turbulence in environmental flows (abstract below) is organized by the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering (https://www.dicam.unitn.it/en) of the University of Trento, Italy, from 5 to 16 June 2023. The participation is open to MSc and PhD students, young researchers and practitioners. The course can be attended on-site or online for a total duration of 60 hours (including hands-on tutorials), corresponding to 6 ECTS. A small fee (216 Euro) is required and the deadline for the registration is the 31st of March. The relevant information can be found in the course's website: https://sites.google.com/unitn.it/turbulence-env-flows Abstract: Turbulence is one of the last mysteries, not yet fully understood, in nonlinear fluid mechanics (including multiphase flows). In this course, we provide an introduction to turbulence by coupling the analysis of the most used numerical models (e.g., k-epsilon model) and the interpretation of real-world measurements, with a special focus on processes occurring in the atmosphere and in stratified water bodies such as lakes. The course covers theoretical and numerical aspects of turbulence modelling and introduces the necessary statistical tools for the analysis of data from turbulence observations both in the field and in the laboratory. Theoretical aspects are supported by numerous hands-on tutorials. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Victorita Dolean [log in to unmask] Date: March 06, 2023 Subject: CEMRACS 2023/SciML, France, Jul-Aug 2023 We are pleased to announce the holding of CEMRACS 2023 (http://smai.emath.fr/cemracs/cemracs23/index.html), from July 17 to August 25, 2023, at CIRM, in Marseille (France). This year's topic is Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) or ML for scientific computing.The goal of CEMRACS is to bring together researchers from academic and industrial communities to work and exchange around SciML. The first week (17-21 July) consists in a summer school (http://smai.emath.fr/cemracs/cemracs23/summer-school.html) followed by a Hackathon (http://smai.emath.fr/cemracs/cemracs23/projects.html) for the following five weeks, during which students or researchers can work on projects proposed by academic or industrial partners. Registrations for the summer school (http://smai.emath.fr/cemracs/cemracs23/registration.html) are now open with a limited number of face-to-face places (participation is possible virtually - summer school only - starting from a minimum number of registered participants). If you are an academic or industrialist interested in proposing and funding a project for the Hackathon or simply want to attend and give a talk during the 5 weeks of Hackathon, please contact the organisers [log in to unmask] PhD students are encouraged to apply to take part in the Hackathon. A list of funded projects is already available but will be updated on a regular basis.
