A sequel to the Thematic Program on Multiscale Scientific Computing (January-April 2016), this retrospective workshop will explore the interplay between mathematical analysis and scientific computations with applications to some key classical and emerging open questions in theoretical fluid mechanics. These problems include extreme, possibly singular, behavior in hydrodynamic models such as the Navier-Stokes equations and transition to turbulence with the associated questions concerning critical behavior. 

Computational challenges arising in such contexts include solution of PDE-constrained optimization problems, finding fixed-point solutions with various properties, as well as model-reduction strategies. A recurrent theme of the workshop will be innovative use of computational techniques designed to complement mathematical analysis.

This event is part of a retrospective on the 2016 Fields Thematic Program on Multiscale Scientific Computing.

There is another event as part of this series in the following week dealing with Quantum Systems in Cold-matter Physics and Chemistry.
