Mathematical Theory of Hyperbolic Systems of Conservation Laws
A meeting organized in in association with the Newton Institute programme entitled Nonlinear Hyperbolic Waves in Phase Dynamics and Astrophysics (27 January - 11 July 2003)
Date: March 24, 2003 - March 28, 2003
Location: Newton Institute, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Web Page: http://www.newton.cam.ac.uk/programs/NPA/npaw01.html
Contact Email: t.andrew@newton.cam.ac.uk
Organizer: http://www.newton.cam.ac.uk/
Special Fields: Numerical Methods, Theoretical Fluid Dynamics
Type of Event: Conference, International
 
Description:

Nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws govern a broad spectrum of physical phenomena, in compressible fluid dynamics, nonlinear material science, etc. Such equations admit solutions that may exhibit shock waves and other nonlinear waves (propagating phase boundaries, fluid interfaces, etc) which play a dominant role in multiple areas of physics. Recent developments on the theory of one-dimensional systems will be covered, including: entropy conditions, L1 well-posedness, singular limits, diffusive approximations, relaxation models, kinetic relations, shock wave structure, links with thermodynamics, etc.
