Abstract:

The purpose of this session is to highlight recent developments in applications of dynamical systems and differential equations to various disciplines, such as fluid dynamics, biology, statistical mechanics and optics. Our speakers will talk about stochastic parameterization in PDE, statistical mechanics in chemical and biological systems, light propagation, and also waves and turbulence in fluids.
