Dynamics and stability of thin liquid films and slender jets: workshop proposal

薄液体薄膜和细长射流的流体动力学对于许多工业、生物医学和日常生活应用至关重要，并且伴随着丰富的行为和模式形成。因此，它们在文献中受到了相当大的关注；特别是在过去几年中，在这一领域进行了大量的活动。该提案提交给EPSRC是为了申请资助，以便于2007年9月26日至28日在伦敦帝国理工学院数学研究所（ICL）举办为期三天的会议，该会议将研究这一领域最新的令人兴奋的发展。这将为促进来自工程、应用数学、化学和物理等不同领域的研究人员之间的互动提供必要的论坛，否则这将是不可能的，这将导致跨学科的合作。这次会议将在欧洲力学学会（EUROMECH）的主持下组织，将是一个前沿研究研讨会，而不是一个简单的会议，在平行会议之间划分兴趣。我们将有一个单一的演讲轨道，穿插讨论和海报会议，这可能会引发新的研究问题和参与者之间的合作。

The fluid dynamics of thin liquid films and slender jets are of central importance to numerous industrial, biomedical and daily-life applications and are accompanied by rich behaviour and pattern formation. As a result, they have received considerable attention in the literature; the last few years in particular have witnessed a great deal of activity in this area. This proposal is submitted to the EPSRC in order to request supporting funding to host a three-day meeting in the Mathematics Institute, Imperial College London (ICL), between 26-28 September 2007, which will examine the latest exciting developments in this field. This will provide the necessary forum for promoting interactions between researchers from different areas in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics that would not have been possible otherwise and which will lead to inter-disciplinary collaborations. This meeting, which will be organised under the auspices of the European Mechanics Society (EUROMECH), will be a leading edge research workshop rather than a simple conference with interests divided among parallel sessions. We will have a single track of presentations interspersed with discussion and poster sessions that will likely spark off new research questions and collaborations among the participants.
