Dear Colleague,

You are kindly invited to participate and to submit an Abstract, Paper, Invited Talk and/or an Invited Session (3-6 papers) to the forthcoming Nonlinear Systems Conference titled:  10th Chaotic Modeling and Simulation International Conference (CHAOS2017, 30 May – 2 June 2017).

If you already have submitted your Abstract or your special session please ignore this message. However, you can download the Conference Poster at: www.cmsim.org .

Chaos theory is developed rapidly the last decades. With CHAOS2017 International Conference we celebrate ten years of active presence in the field via the annual conference, the proceedings and publications in books and the CMSIM Journal (www.cmsim.eu ).

We have extended the abstract submission up to January 31, 2017 to give time to sessions and special sessions and workshops organizers to collect abstracts from the contributors. New Sessions and Invited Sessions and workshops can be proposed as well.

To avoid misunderstandings, we have expanded the deadline up to 31 of January and for all the abstracts regular or contributed.

Many thanks to the Honorary Committee (Professors Giovanni Gallavotti, Gennady A. Leonov, Gheorghe Mateescu, Yves Pomeau, David Ruelle and Ferdinand Verhulst) and the Scientific Committee for their support.

In CHAOS2017 we include the next important Plenary Talks so far:

Ralph Gregor Andrzejak

Looking forward to welcome you in Barcelona for the Conference,

Wishing a Happy and Prosperous New Year,

Prof. Christos H Skiadas, Conference Co-Chair

__________________________

I am also happy to introduce two new books on Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics contributed mainly from the CHAOS Conferences participants.

1. “The Foundations of Chaos Revisited: From Poincaré to Recent Advancements” (Christos Skiadas, Ed., Springer, May 2016). The book flyer and other information is at: http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319296999. The book is an outcome of the CHAOS2015 meeting in Henri Poincaré Institute in Paris (www.cmsim.org ). Some of the main contributors of chaos theory add important value to the book (David Ruelle, Ferdinand Verhulst, Giovanni Gallavotti, Pierre Coullet, Yves Pomeau, James A. Yorke, Alexander Ramm, … ).

2. ” Handbook of Applications of Chaos Theory” (C. H. Skiadas & C. Skiadas, Eds, CRC/Taylor&Francis, 934 pages, June 2016) https://www.crcpress.com/Handbook-of-Applications-of-Chaos-Theory/Skiadas-Skiadas/9781466590434 .

This book is a joint work of a large scientific group all over the world covering a considerable part of the recent chaotic literature and related applications.

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the Euromech colloquium
n° 591 entitled “Three-dimensional instability mechanisms in transitional and turbulent flows“,
organized by Stefania Cherubini and myself, to be held on 18-20 September 2017 in
the sunny medieval city of Bari, Italy.

The objective of this conference is to provide an international forum for discussing
the latest developments in instability and coherent structures
computations for both transitional and fully turbulent flows.

The colloquium will bring together researchers studying the rise and
development of instability mechanisms leading to three-dimensional flow structures in
different shear flows, with the aim of trying to find some common features between
the structures triggering or sustaining turbulence in such different cases.
The deep knowledge of exact coherent structures in parallel flows, as well as
the recent possibility of performing instability analysis on complex three-dimensional
or fully turbulent flows begin to make possible the achievement of such an ambitious goal.

Main topics are:
—————-
– Global instabilities
– Turbulence dynamics
– Receptivity, sensitivity
– Transition to turbulence
– Coherent structures
– Bifurcations and continuation methods

Important dates are:
——————–
– 31 May 2017  : deadline for submission of a one-page abstract
– 31 June 2017 : deadline for notification of acceptance
– 15 July 2017 : deadline for registration and payment of conference fee

Abstracts of one page (including texts and figures) should be sent to:
Jean-Christophe.Robinet@ensam.eu

Invited Plenary Speakers:
————————-
– Dwight BARKLEY, Warwick University, Warwick, UK
– Luca BRANDT, KTH Mechanics, Stockholm, Sweden
– Denis SIPP, ONERA, Meudon, France

For more details (deadline, topics and fees) you can visit the website:
http://591.euromech.org/ and download the flyer  in the attached fileeuromech_flyer

We hope to see you next September in Bari!

Sincerely,
Jean-Christophe ROBINET and Stefania CHERUBINI

(from S Molokov, Coventry, UK)

The workshop will take place at Coventry University (UK) on 29-30 June, 2017. One of the aims of the workshop is to encourage collaboration by scientists from different fields. There will be three sessions:

1. Liquid Metal and Industrial MHD (organiser Prof Sergei Molokov, Coventry University, s.molokov@coventry.ac.uk)
2. Geo- and Astro- Physics (organiser Prof David W Hughes, University of Leeds, D.W.Hughes@leeds.ac.uk)
3. Magnetoelectrochemistry (organiser Dr Andrew Cobley, Coventry University, aa2266@coventry.ac.uk)

There will be a fee, which will cover the cost of two dinners. One of the dinners, on Friday, 30^th will be the Medieval Banquet at the historical Coombe Abbey hotel (http://www.coombeabbey.com/mediaeval-banquets/) with performance by actors.

The second announcement, website address, and call for papers will appear in January, 2017. If you would like to get more information before then, please contact either organisers of the sessions, or the local organising team:

Local Organising committee:

• Dr. Alex Pedcenko (a.pedcenko@coventry.ac.uk)
• Dr. Svetlana Aleksandrova (s.aleksandrova@coventry.ac.uk)
• Prof. Sergei Molokov (s.molokov@coventry.ac.uk)

There will be a session (or severals sessions) focused on MHD-related topics at the 7th International Symposium on Instabilities and Bifurcations in Fluid Dynamics (BIFD-2017), which will take place on July 11-14 2017 at the Woodlands Convention Center (a suburb of Houston, TX). The deadline for abstract submission is February 1, 2017. For further details please see http://www.shsu.edu/bifd2017. The MHD community has always been strongly represented at the BIFD conferences, the tradition the organizers hope to maintain. Presentations concerning all sub-fields of MHD (liquid metal, plasma, industrial and astro- and geophysical applications, etc) are welcomed.
