SCIENTIFIC CONTENT
Abstract
Kinetic descriptions play a critical role in the physical, social, and biological sciences, and have expanded into diverse applications of cutting-edge technology ranging from microfluidics, semiconductors, polymers and plasma to traffic networking and swarming. Modern kinetic theory captures fundamental issues in the modeling and simulation of phenomena across length and time scales, from the atomistic to the continuum. In the context of kinetic theory mathematical approaches help the design of numerical methods and, conversely, numerical simulations help improve the quantitative understanding of underlying complex problems.
In this meeting, we will also celebrate the 60th birthday of David Levermore.
Goals
- To present the ongoing research of leading experts on the modeling, mathematical analysis and computational aspects of kinetic theories
- To identify promising new avenues of research
- To formulate a number of problems that are at once tractable and have potential to provide further insight into the nature of kinetic description of phenomena across different scales
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Partial funding is provided by the NSF Focus Research Group (FRG) on Kinetic Description of Multiscale Phenomena: Modeling, Theory and Computation at the University of Maryland, the Department of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the DOE Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research.
