15th MHD Days 2014Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam December 2-3, 2014 http://www.aip.de/mhd14 ——————————————– 

Scope and Goals

The meeting intends to bring together astrophysical problems with magnetic fields, general issues of magnetohydrodynamics, plasma physics and liquid-metal developments. The conference focus is on theoretical studies including simulations but is open to observational and experimental results from the fields mentioned. This year the MHD Days will take place at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam.

It’s the 15th in a series of meetings which will be specially held in honour of Prof. Guenther Ruediger who initiated the MHD Days and whose 70th birthday will take place in late 2014.

Registration

A registration form including a suggestion for your talk title is available at the website

Schedule

We plan to start in the morning of Tuesday, December 2, with a few key note talks on dynamos, instabilities and differential rotation and continue in the afternoon with contributed talks. We will continue with contributed talks on Wednesday, Dec 3, to exchange as many news as possible.

With best regards,

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

we would like to announce the third international workshop on measuring techniques for liquid metal flows (MTLM2015) in Dresden, April 15-17, 2015.

http://www.hzdr.de/mtlm2015 

The goal of the workshop is to assess the state-of-the-art in the field of measuring techniques for liquid metal flows, to identify the demand and requirements arising from various applications, to share knowledge with students and engineers recently involved in the respective fields, to stimulate the discussion between the involved teams, and to trigger new innovative developments or co-operations. We want to bring together developers of different kinds of flow diagnostics and potential users from industry, research institutes and universities.

Important dates:

• Submission of abstracts: December 20, 2014
• Notification of acceptance: January 20, 2015
• Preliminary programme: February 01, 2015
• Registration opens: February 01, 2015
