Overview
1st MetStröm Summer School 2008 on
Multiscale Problems
in Fluid Dynamics and Meteorology
August 18 - September 12, 2008,
Berlin, Germany
Objectives
The summer school will provide an introduction in theory and computation for meteorological fluid dynamics (week 1 and 2) and advanced techniques of multiscale modeling (week 3 and 4); jointly with the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) summer school ’Mathematics of Multiscale Phenomena’.
Programme
The work programme will cover fundamental and avanced courses. There will also be several research lectures given by experts in applications and theory, as well as practical courses will complete the lectures.Fundamental courses will cover
- Modeling the General Circulation of the Atmosphere (Dargan Frierson, USA)
- The general approach to meteorological modeling (Rupert Klein, Germany)
- A first course on Computational Fluid Dynamics (Phil Roe, USA)
- Introduction to synoptic- and meso-scale meteorology (Heini Wernli, Germany)
- Fundamentals of classic atmospheric dynamics (Andreas Hense, Germany)
- Mathematical Strategies for Filtering Turbulent signals in Complex Systems (Andrew J. Majda, USA)
- New Algorithms and Applications of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem for Climate Response (Andrew J. Majda, USA)
- Advances in Cyber Fluid Mechanics: building the Turbulence Database Cluster (Charles Meneveau, USA)
Additional courses and research lectures will be given by Nikolaus Adams, Germany (tbc); Luca Bonaventura, Italy (tbc); Andrea Flossmann, France (tbc); Wolfram Wobrock, France (tbc); Didier Bresch, France; Daan Crommelin, The Netherlands; Christian Franzke, UK.
Part of lectures and practicals in the 2nd period will be shared with BMS (Berlin Mathematical School) summer school ’Mathematics of Multiscale Phenomena’, that will be held in parallel from Sep 1-12, 2008 at Free University Berlin.
The BMS course will comprise 4 introductory lectures on each of the following fields:- Multiscale Problems for ODEs and SDEs (A. Stuart, C. Lubich)
- Effective Dynamics and Rare Events (E. Vanden Eijnden, C. Schütte)
- Essential behaviour of many-particle systems (A. Mielke, H. Yserentant)
- PDEs on complex domains: Analysis and Numerics (C. Elliott, R. Kornhuber)
BMS-guest lecturers will include A. Chorin (tbc), M. Dellnitz (tbc), G. Eyink, M. Griebel (tbc), K. Gröchenig, M. Junk, C. Lasser, A. Majda, C.D. Munz, O.Widlund, J. Xu (tbc).
Date and Place / Accomodation
