Summary on Grant Application Form
The symposium will be a gathering of about 65 mathematics and other scientists with active (or intended) involvement in combustion theory. Particular effort will be made to ensure attendance of young researchers at postdoctoral (or even late PhD) level in order to swell the numbers in a field where the UK is first rate in quality but short in quantity and breadth.The main themes will be: (I) Blow-up and singular patterns in reaction-diffusion equations (ii) Flames and other Free Boundary problems in combustion (iii) Explosions, detonations and other gas-dynamic issues (iv) Mathematical issues in numerical modelling, disparate time and space scales, moving boundaries etc. (v) Bifurcation theory PDEs.Practical motivation for these themes will be provided by an open day of presentations from representatives of the engineering community in industry; each will be introduced in 2-3 lectures of a partly didactic nature, and will be allotted time for about 6 seminars and 2.5 hours formal workshop time. Ample informal interactive time will be timetabled in order to allow individual contacts and potential collaborations to flourish. Additionally, some time has been set aside for talks on new areas of combustion research.The unifying theme will be the mathematical challenges posed by practical problems in combustion and especially those cases where significant advances in mathematical understanding are required.
