CBMS Conference: Regularity Problem for Partial Differential Equations Modeling Fluids and Geophysical Fluids

该奖项将支持将于2014年夏天在俄克拉荷马州州立大学举行的关于偏微分方程建模流体和地球物理流体的规律性问题的NSF-CBMS区域会议。本次会议的主要发言人是彼得康斯坦丁教授，威廉R。小凯南普林斯顿大学应用与计算数学系教授兼主任。在为期五天的会议中，他将发表十场演讲。他的讲座将涵盖一些最新进展的规律性问题和相关问题的表面准地转方程，欧拉和Navier-Stokes方程，Boussinesq系统，以及其他相关方程。本次NSF-CBMS会议将反映NSF-CBMS会议系列的显着特点：专注于领先从业者的单一重要和及时的研究领域，为更广泛的受众出版专著，并通过区域重点持续影响和当地刺激。本次会议的讲座将介绍一个领域的主要思想和最新进展，并有一些非常令人兴奋的新发展，并将有助于推进知识和图表未来的方向。此外，这次会议将产生广泛的影响。将邀请大约30名与会者，并将特别努力，以参与，支持和鼓励来自代表性不足的群体的初级数学家和研究人员的参与。将出版一本以这些讲座为基础的专著，预计将有更广泛的读者。

This award will support an NSF-CBMS regional conference to be held at Oklahoma State University in the summer of 2014 on the regularity problem for partial differential equations modeling fluids and geophysical fluids. The principal speaker of this conference is Professor Peter Constantin, William R. Kenan Jr. Professor and Director of the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University. He will deliver ten lectures during this five-day conference. His lectures will cover some of the most recent advances on the regularity problem and associated issues concerning the surface quasi-geostrophic equation, the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, the Boussinesq system, and other related equations. This NSF-CBMS conference will reflect the distinguishing features of the NSF-CBMS conference series: focus on a single important and timely area of research by a leading practitioner, published monograph for a wider audience, and continued effect and local stimulation through regional emphasis. The lectures of this conference will present the major ideas and most recent progress in a field with some very exciting new developments, and will help advance knowledge and chart future directions. Besides, this conference will have broad impacts. Around 30 participants will be invited and special efforts will be made to involve, support, and encourage the participation of junior mathematicians and researchers from under-represented groups. A monograph based on the lectures will be published and is expected to reach a much wider audience.
