Workshop on Hydrodynamic Limits: results and perspectives

In honor of Claude Bardos

OCTOBER   22 - 24            Organized by N J Mauser and P A Markowich


This workshop is dedicated to results and open problems in the field of "hydrodynamic limits" in a broad sense, both for classical and quantum mechanical systems. Some recent results on Hilbert's Sixth Problem on the limit from the Boltzmann equation to Navier-Stokes and similar macroscopic "fluid equations" are presented.

The event is the second part of a "twin colloquium" in honour of Claude Bardos who is one of the key figures in this field. The first part took place in Paris, at the IHP (Institute Henri Poincare) in the course of a thematically close special trimester organized by F. Golse.
