—————————–

(from Oleg Zikanov, USA)

The program of the 2016 congress of the ECCOMAS (European  Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and  Engineering) includes a mini-symposium on Computational Methods in Magnetohydrodynamics (see http://www.eccomas2016.org/content/accepted-minisymposia#600-interdisciplinary-coupled-and-contact-problems).

The focus of the minisymposium is on the computational  challenges in modeling MHD flows. All areas of MHD are covered  including but not limited to: models of MHD turbulence,  methods for flows at high Hartmann numbers, numerical analysis  of MHD effects in astro- and geophysics, MHD instabilities and magnetoconvection.

The congress is on June 5-10, 2016 on the island of  Crete, Greece. The submission of abstracts is now open and  will continue till November 29, 2015.

Thanks and best regards

30-05-2016: 22nd International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions (PSI) in Controlled Fusion Devices , Rome, Italy

Posted by on 30 May 2015 Comments Off on 30-05-2016: 22nd International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions (PSI) in Controlled Fusion Devices , Rome, Italy

Welcome,

on behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I am pleased to invite you to attend the 22nd International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices (22nd PSI) that will be held from May 30 to June3, 2016 in Rome,Italy.

This conference is organized by ENEA, the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development.

I think it is not necessary to remind you the great beauty of Rome: it is a very attractive city, well known all over the world, and late spring is the best period to visit it. Let me only say that Rome represents also one of the most important scientific poles of Italy: close to Rome (20 km) is the Frascati Research area including, besides ENEA, the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the European Space Agency (ESA).

I am looking forward to your participation and contribution for making the XXII PSI conference a great success.

Giorgio Maddaluno

Chairman of the 22nd PSI Local Organizing Committee

16th MHD DAYS

—————————–

(from Thomas Boeck, TU Ilmenau, Germany)

First Announcement [see updates here]

16th MHD-Days

TU Ilmenau, December 7-9, 2015

Supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in the framework of the Research Training Group „Lorentz force velocimetry and Lorentz force eddy current testing“
————————————————————————

The 16th MHD-Days will be organized at TU Ilmenau. They will take place from Monday noon, December 7 to Wednesday afternoon, December 9, 2015.

As in previous MHD-Days, the 16th MHD-Days will focus both on geo- and astrophysical aspects as well as on industrial applications of MHD.

The meeting will also be used to give an overview of the on-going activities in the Research Training Group on flow measurement in liquid metals and electrolytes using contactless Lorentz force velocimetry and on non-destructive material inspection using Lorentz force eddy current testing. This Research Training Group at TU Ilmenau is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

Undergraduate and PhD students are particularly encouraged to attend the MHD-Days. The conference language is English. Further information will be posted on the web page

www.tu-ilmenau.de/mhddays2015

in the near future. Questions related to organizational aspects should be addressed to:

mhd(at)tu-ilmenau.de

The organizing committee would appreciate a wide circulation of this announcement.
