Second announcement
9th International pamir conference on fundamental and applied MHD – Riga, Latvia, June 16-20, 2014

Dear colleagues,
The new pamir conference will be organized in Latvia in June 2014. You will find all information about this event on the web site “http://pamir.sal.lv/2014/“.

This conference will be supported by the European commission in the frame of a program devoted to the production of electricity in space. For this reason two new topics will be included in addition with MHD, liquid metal technology and ferro fluids :

– thermoacoustic system
– space : stress on technologies

A summer school, supported by the European commission, will be proposed in these two topics during the conference.

Calendar of events

  • Deadline for abstracts : December 20, 2013
  • Notification to authors : February 28, 2014
  • Deadline for full paper : April 30, 2014
  • Registration prior : May 16, 2014

Best regards,
pamir secretary

2nd Call for the 549th Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Seminar “Liquid Metal MHD”

Posted by on 6 September 2013 Comments Off on 2nd Call for the 549th Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Seminar “Liquid Metal MHD”

(from Christiane Heinicke, Ilmenau, Germany)

Dear colleagues,

this is a second call for the participation in the Heraeus-Seminar “Liquid Metal MHD” taking place at Bad Honnef (Germany) during Oct. 16-18, 2013. Although focused on liquid metals, the program comprises all aspects of MHD, including, but not limited to astrophysical flows, MHD turbulence, and crystal growth.

The seminar may be considered as a substitute for this year’s MHD days, which have been a widely accepted forum for undergraduates and PhD students in the past years. Since the next MHD days will take place in 2014, the Heraeus-Seminar is also intended as this year’s platform for young researchers. More information on the seminar can be found on
www.tu-ilmenau.de/mhd. Note that all costs for accommodation and meals will be covered by the Heraeus foundation.

Currently, there are still a number of spots available which would expire if not filled. Therefore, we invite researchers active in the field of MHD to register for the seminar by Thursday, 5th September, 2013 via www.tu-ilmenau.de/mhd/registration/.

Hoping to see you at the seminar,
The organizing committee

New position in Experimental MHD/Heat & Mass Transfer at UCLA

Posted by on 21 June 2013 Comments Off on New position in Experimental MHD/Heat & Mass Transfer at UCLA

(from Sergey Smolentsev, USA)

The Fusion Science and Technology Center at University of California, Los Angeles invites applicants for a research position in Experimental MHD / Heat & Mass transfer. The studies are related to liquid metal MHD flows in closed ducts in conditions relevant to a fusion reactor blanket. Successful candidates are expected to have experience/background in the area of experimental fluid dynamics/heat & mass transfer. Experience in experimental studies of liquid metals (PbLi, InGaSn, NaK, Hg), especially in the presence of a strong magnetic field, and working knowledge of liquid-metal flow diagnostics, such as ultrasound velocimetry and potential probes, is desirable. Considerations will be given to both recent university graduates (Ph.D. is required) and senior scientists with a multi-year experience in the field.

The position is available starting from September 01, 2013. Applications or questions about the position should be sent to Sergey Smolentsev (sergey(at)fusion.ucla.edu) and copy to Mohamed Abdou (abdou(at)fusion.ucla.edu).
