[Vortraege] Colloquium Talk this thursday 14h00 / Bill Dorland on "Waves in Active, Turbulent Media"

[Norbert J. Mauser]

Dear collegues,

there will be a "Colloquium talk for the broader audience" in math+physics, 

this thursday 8 Aug,  14h00 - 15h30 

in the SkyLounge of the 12th floor of Fak.Math at OMP1 :

Speaker : Prof. William Dorland (U. Maryland)

Title: "Waves in Active, Turbulent Media"

Abstract: Problems in plasma physics turn up in multiple contexts, from astrophysics to industry to the quest for nuclear fusion. The incredibly hot plasmas of astrophysics and nuclear fusion are turbulent. They also support a huge variety of electromagnetic waves. 
The PDEs that describe these phenomena are interesting and enduring objects of study to both mathematicians and physicists. 
A few motivations and puzzles will be presented.


.) There will be a brief introduction by Alex Schekochihin (Oxford)

.) And there will be coffee-tea+cake afterwards.

Everybody welcome !

Sincerely yours,
