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

http://www.aip.de/mhd14

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,

Rainer Arlt

April 15-17, 2015 — 3rd International Workshop on measuring Techniques for Liquid Metal Flows (MTLM2015), Dresden, Germany

Posted by on 15 October 2014 Comments Off on April 15-17, 2015 — 3rd International Workshop on measuring Techniques for Liquid Metal Flows (MTLM2015), Dresden, Germany

(from Sven Eckert, Germany)

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

PhD Studentship: 2014-2016

(PGRO Ref. VCS-ACH-12-14_2)

University of Greenwich, UK

 

Title: ‘Contactless acoustic wave generation in a melt by electromagnetic induction’

 

Description:

A new electromagnetic induction technique is being developed to produce ultrasonic vibration in liquid metal for grain refinement and nano-particle dispersion in metal matrix composites. The PhD student will assist in the development, testing and validation of the software to simulate the electromagnetic, induced sound and velocity fields. The student will have the opportunity to examine the feasibility of these concepts, supported by experiments performed by partners on the large scale EU project EXOMET (FP7-NMP3-LA-2012-280421). Knowledge in fluid dynamics, electrodynamics and programming skills (FORTRAN, Matlab) are required.

 

For further information please contact the supervisors: Prof Koulis Pericleous, k.pericleous@gre.ac.uk, or Dr Valdis Bojarevics, v.bojarevics@gre.ac.uk.

 For additional information about the studentship and links to the application form please go to: http://www2.gre.ac.uk/research/study/studentships 

 The application form should be completed and returned to: postgraduateresearch@gre.ac.uk and include: a comprehensive CV and a one page covering letter explaining your interest in the project and how it relates to past experience and present motivations. Attachments should be in PDF format. 

The closing date for applications is Noon 31st October 2014

  1. MEETING ON “GEOPHYSICAL AND ASTROPHYSICAL FLOWS      AND DYNAMOS” (CAJ65), NEWCASTLE, UK
    —————————–
    (from Graeme Sarson, Newcastle University, UK)Dear colleagues,

    We’d like to announce a meeting on ‘Geophysical and Astrophysical Flows      and Dynamos’, to take place on August 28-29 2014, at Newcastle University,      UK. This meeting will discuss the latest results on the modelling of      geophysical and astrophysical flows, and the magnetic fields they generate      via dynamo action. It will also celebrate the 65th birthday of Professor      Chris Jones, and his many contributions to these topics.

    The meeting website, with additional information, is at:
    http://www.mas.ncl.ac.uk/caj65/      .

    There is a meeting fee to cover the costs of refreshments, lunches and the      meeting dinner. Early-bird registration (until July 31, 2014) is
    £50.00 (or £25.00 for students). Late registration (from August 1 until      August 22, 2014) is £75.00 (or £50.00 for students).

    Registration is now open, via the Registration page of the link above.

    Thanks to the generosity of Newcastle and Leeds Universities, we have some      limited funds to support attendance at this meeting; to apply for this      support, please contact us (at caj65(at)ncl.ac.uk) by the deadline of June      15, 2014.
