IAPWS 2011 Annual Meeting & Symposium

Conference - Pilsen, September 4–9, 2011, Primavera Hotel & Congress Centre

logo IAPWSCzech National Committee for the Properties of Water and Steam (CZ NC PWS) in collaboration with University of West Bohemia will organize IAPWS 2011 Annual Meeting & Symposium held in Pilsen on September 4-9, 2011. The objective of the annual IAPWS meetings is to review and evaluate the results obtained in the working groups during the previous period, to prepare IAPWS documents for publication and to determine new objectives and assign tasks for the next period.

As part of the Meeting a one-day Symposium on Water and Aqueous Mixtures: Research for Future Energy Technologies is held on September 7. The programme of the Symposium can be found here.  The registration page is open until August 22, 2011.  »»»

EUROMECH Colloquium 540 - Advanced Modelling of Wave Propagation in Solids

Conference - Prague, October 1-3, 2012

The EUROMECH Colloquium 540 aims to bring together engineers and scientists with interest in modelling of wave propagation in solids. The Colloquium will concentrate on topics related to effects of linear and non-linear waves in solids, to solitary waves, to strongly dispersive wave propagation in inhomogeneous solids and to waves in materials with microstructures, etc.  »»»

XVI. International Conference on Nonlinear Elasticity of Materials

Conference - Prague, June 5–11, 2011, Conference Center in Husova 236/6, Prague

Dynamic nonlinear elastic behaviour, non equilibrium dynamics, first observed as a curiosity In earth materials has now been observed in a great variety of solids. The primary manifestations of the behaviour are characteristic wave distortion, and slow dynamics, a recovery process to equilibrium that takes place linearly with the logarithm of time, over hours to days after a wave disturbance.  »»»

Global instability of flow across a junction

Lecture - Prof. Jonathan Healey, Keele University, Anglie, Institute of Thermomechanics AS CR, v. v. i., Dolejškova 5, Prague, lecture room A, May 11, 2011 (Wednesday), 10:00-11:00

In the stability theory of shear layers, the term `local stability' refers to the stability properties of a particular velocity profile at a given position in the flow. When the basic flow develops the streamwise direction, e.g. in a growing boundary layer, the changing local stability properties can be mapped out downstream. If there are regions of local absolute instability then there is the possibility of a `global instability' of the entire flow. When the basic flow varies slowly in the downstream direction the global stability can be determined from the local stability.  »»»
