Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI)
on Interfacial Fluid Dynamics:
From Theory to Applications
6-17 August 2007
Mar del Plata, Argentina

We thank all participants for their contributions and for making this PASI a success.
Please note that all lecture materials and some short oral presentations are at this point linked under Scientific Program.

PASI (NSF/DOE supported) is an advanced study workshop where senior scientists and engineers will present lectures to the participants including advanced graduate students, postdocs, professional researchers and faculty members who want to learn about this field. In addition, research presentations and discussion forums will take place.

PASI lecturers will discuss a variety of issues relevant to modern interfacial fluid dynamics. The lectures will be organized in a manner which will allow to the participants who are not familiar with this field to learn about state-of-the-art techniques from the world-known experts. The topics that will be discussed include (i) theory, with emphasis on new developments in analytical, computational and multiscale methods; (ii) experiments, stressing the important applications involving flows on very small spatial and temporal scales; and (iii) applications ranging from coating on small scales relevant to e.g. semiconductor industry, porous media flows important in oil recovery, and others.
Schedule is available here.

PASI format will include 30-40 participants mainly from the Americas (North, Central and South) but also from other parts of the world. Partial or full support will be available for the selected participants, with preference given to junior (graduate students and postdocs) applicants. Please check frequently this web page for additional information. Interested applicants may also contact Dr. Kondic at kondic@njit.edu.
