Topics and Aims

Analysis and Numerics of Non-Newtonian Fluids

In applications like ice mechanics, blood rheology, geology, electrorheology or liquid crytals, the mechanics of fluid flows differs significantly from Newtonian behavior; hence, e.g. power-law models or models which involve additional order parameters are used to describe their dynamics.

The primary goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in analysis and numerical analysis who work in this area: analysts will report on their results which provide the basis for numerical methods, and numerical analysts will review theoretical issues which qualify algorithms in use.

Besides contributions by invited speakers, shorter communications are planned to allow for intense discussions between participants.
