Informazioni Generali sull'evento
Following a successful kick-off conference in Banff in 2005, the second Visco-plastic fluids conference is approaching rapidly. This is to be held in Monte Verita, Switzerland, 14-18 October, 2007, and is organised by Christophe Ancey (EPFL), Neil Balmforth (UBC), and Ian Friggard (UBC): see http://lhe.epfl.ch/monte-verita.html for details. As for the first workshop, we would like to cover a broad range of theory and applications. We would like to invite you to participate in what promises to be a high quality scientific meeting, coincidentally set high in the Italian part of the Swiss Alps in a fabulously beautiful setting.
Visco-plastic specialities from the region include a large number of avalanches and mudslides, a molten chocolate dam-break, various fondue exploits and the puzzling distribution of the bubbles in Swiss cheese. Abstracts on other plasticity problems are also encouraged.
