Outline of the Workshop

The Sixth International Workshop on Mathematical Aspects of Fluid and Plasma Dynamics (6th MAFPD) will be held in Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, from September 19 to September 23, 2004. The dates are just after the Tenth International Conference on Hyperbolic Problems Theory, Numerics, Applications that will take place in Osaka, which is a neighboring city of Kyoto, on September 13 - 17, 2004.
The aim of the workshop is to provide the opportunity to present recent progress and obtain information about new directions for leading researchers working on mathematical aspects of fluids and plasmas in a broad sense. In particular, the relation between kinetic and fluid models in various applications such as gas dynamics, semiconductors, granular flows will be one of the main subjects.
Theory and application of the following subjects will be included in the scope of the workshop:
  • the Boltzmann equation and related kinetic equations
  • the Vlasov-Poisson system and related equations
  • the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations
  • kinetic and fluid models for various flow phenomena (e.g., rarefied gas flows, granular flows, semiconductors, and traffic flows)
  • quantum and relativistic kinetic systems
  • asymptotic and numerical methods
Participation in this workshop is only by invitation. The program will consist of 12 main (45-minute) lectures and 60 to 70 invited (30-minute) lectures. Please note that the workshop will start in the morning on September 19 (Sunday).

aoki@aero.mbox.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp
before May 1, 2004.

Journal Publication

Full-length refereed papers based on presentations at the 6th MAFPD will be published as regular archival articles in a special issue of the journal Transport Theory and Statistical Physics, after the normal refereeing process for the journal. Of course, special review papers will not be required to contain original research results, but rather an appropriate overview of the subject. There is no page limit -- other than that the length should be appropriate for the material contained in the paper.
The papers are to be sent to K. Aoki (Coordinating Guest Co-Editor), at the address indicated at the end of this web site, by November 30, 2004. They should not be sent directly to the journal editor or directly to the journal publisher.
TTSP MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
The typing area should be no more than 5.5 inches wide by 7 inches deep (14.0 cm x 17.8 cm) for the article opening page. All other pages should be no more than 5.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep (14.0 cm x 21.6 cm).
In general, the title and the abstract, as well as the tables and references, are typed single-spaced. All other text discussion should be typed 1.5-line spaced, if available, or double-spaced if 1.5-line spacing is not available. A 12-point font should be used, and Times New Roman is recommended.

Accommodation

A number of rooms are reserved in Kyoto Royal Hotel, which is a high-standard hotel located in the central and shopping district of the city, and COOP INN Kyoto, which is an economical hotel also located in the center. There is a frequent service of the city bus between the center and the campus: a 15-minute ride from Kyoto Royal Hotel and a 20-minute ride (plus 10-minute walk) from COOP INN Kyoto. For information and reservation, please click here. The reservations should be made no later than August 1, 2004 because hotels are crowded in Kyoto.
