School - Around Vortices: from Continuum to Quantum Mechanics

Thematic Program – Incompressible Fluid Dynamics

IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, March 12 – 21, 2014

The aim of this school is to introduce young researchers and researchers from other areas to the different aspects of vortex dynamics and vorticity in fluids, superfluids and superconductors. For this purpose researchers will gathered in several areas of differential equations materials, and computational modeling, with interest in continuous and material science involving vortices or vorticity. This set of themes divides naturally among hydrodynamic models, mainly the equations of Euler and Navier- Incompressible stokes and superconductivity and superfluidity models, especially equations of Ginzburg-Landau and Gross-Pitaevskii. These two thematic strands correspond to two research communities with little concrete interaction, but which together make much use of the most modern techniques in non-linear analysis applying them to problems of great interest physical and practical. Focusing on the importance of vortices as a physical and mathematical phenomenon in both communities, the school sought to explore common interests and possible synergy.
