KAUST

This workshop is devoted to numerical simulation of groundwater flow and subsurface contamination transport, as well as related problems. The main topics are mathematical modeling of the processes in porous media and the numerical methods for discretization, solution of the discretized systems and numerical treatment of inverse problems. In particular, fractured porous media and partially saturated aquifers will be concerned.

On the Mathematics of Turbulent flows

B9 L3 R3128

The understanding and description of turbulent flows poses several different problems in which theory, modeling, and (numerical) experiments interact in a multidisciplinary way. In this talk we present some of the basic tools, focusing on the mathematical foundation of the models used to describe the larger scales of the incompressible motions at high Reynolds number. Recent perspectives and open problems are also discussed.
