Program Description:
Slow viscous flows with interfaces are seen in many different industrial and natural processes including optical fibre and window glass fabrication, chemical etching, lava flows, landslides, underground salt plumes, the tear film on the eye, solidification, and more. Mathematical modelling can identify and quantify important industrial control parameters, enable solution of difficult inverse problems, and yield basic scientific understanding. In the first week of the program an introductory lecture will describe a variety of different problems already studied and future opportunities, along with the types of mathematical tools that are applicable to their solution. This will be followed by discussion and identification of problems to be explored further. Throughout both weeks, other participants will also give talks on potential/current research with an aim to present work which might lead to collaboration. Considerable time will be spent throughout the two weeks on discussion and work by different groups on problems of interest.
