S5B3 - Graduate Seminar on New Developments in Partial Differential Equations (winter term 2013/14)

Questions of Statistical Hydromechanics

Instructors: Prof. Dr. Herbert Koch, Prof. Dr. Stefan Müller

For questions please contact Christian Zillinger (zill at math.uni-bonn.de)

The long time behaviour of two dimensional incompressible and inviscid fluids will be studied in the seminar. Fluids modelled by the two dimensional Euler equation in metereology and other fields often show a strikingly simple and intuitive dynamics of vortices. This poses a challenge for the mathematical understanding of the two dimensional Euler equations. While a rigorous understanding is out of reach there are many heuristic and successful ideas from physics.

In the seminar we will study rigorous formulations and results, often under simplifying assumptions.
