The fifth of a series of LMS-sponsored meetings on 'Scalar Mixing in
Fluid Flows and Mappings', now in its second year, will take place at
DAMTP,
University of Cambridge, on 20 April 2005. The organiser of this
meeting is Peter
Haynes.
The meetings aim to bring together mathematicians and physicists interested in
dynamical systems, fluid mechanics and stochastic processes, both from a
mathematical and a practical viewpoint.
All talks will take place in Meeting Room 3 of the Centre for
Mathematical Sciences (CMS). Travel directions here .
Tea/Coffee/Lunch will be available in CMS Central Common Room on pay-as-you-go
basis.
If you plan to attend the meeting please email
Marguerite Farmer with 'LMS
mixing meeting -- April 20th' in subject line. (This is primarily to get an
estimate of numbers for catering.)
