The Conference
The fifteenth edition of the International Conference on Waves and Stability in Continuous Media will be held in Palermo (Italy) at the Splendid Hotel La Torre - Mondello , from June 28th to July 1th, 2009.
The Conference is dedicated to the memory of Angelo Marcello Anile.
Main Topics of the Conference
- Discontinuity and shock waves;
- Linear and nonlinear stability in fluid dynamics;
- Small parameter problems;
- Kinetic theories and comparison with continuum models;
- Wave propagation and non equilibrium thermodynamics;
- Group analysis and reduction techniques;
- Numerical and technical applications.
Aim of the Conference
Since its first edition organized in 1981, this meeting aimed at gathering Italian and foreign researchers interested in stability and wave propagation problems in continuous media.
The meeting will encompass different fields concerning wave propagation, stability problems and modeling problems such as acceleration and shock waves, diffusion processes in biology and in continuum mechanics, kinetics models, irreversible thermodynamics, stochastic processes, group methods, numerical techniques.
The previous conferences were organized in Catania (1981), Cosenza (1983), Bari (1985), Taormina (1987), Sorrento (1989), Acireale (1991), Bologna (1993), Palermo (1995), Bari (1997), Vulcano (1999), Porto Ercole (2001), Villasimius (2003), Acireale (2005), Scicli (2007).
