PDE Optimization for Problems in Theoretical and Computational Turbulence (English)
[ Abstract ]
Turbulent flows occur in various fields and are a central, yet extremely complex topic in fluid dynamics. Understanding the behaviour of fluids is vital for multiple research areas including, but not limited to: biological models, weather prediction, and engineering design models for automobiles and aircrafts. In this talk, we will introduce PDE optimization techniques to obtain solutions to problems utilizing adjoint-based analysis with an "optimize-then-discretize" approach, Sobolev gradients, and computationally flexible gradient-based techniques. Then, we will discuss how these techniques and their modifications, to deal with optimization problems with nonstandard structure, have been employed for problems in both theoretical and computational turbulence problems, concerning the "zeroth law of turbulence" and the turbulence closure problem.

The initial value problem for the multidimensional system of gas dynamics may have infinitely many weak solutions (English)
[ Abstract ]
We consider the isentropic compressible Euler equations in two space dimensions together with particular initial data. This data consists of two constant states only, where one state lies on the lower and the other state on the upper half plane. The aim is to investigate if there exists a unique entropy solution or if the convex integration method produces infinitely many entropy solutions. In this lecture we will show that the solution of this Riemann problem for the 2-d isentropic Euler equations is non-unique (except if the solution is smooth). Next we are able to show that there exist Lipschitz data that may lead to infinitely many solutions even for the full system of Euler equations. This is joint work with Simon Markfelder.

Convexity preserving properties for nonlinear evolution equations (English)
[ Abstract ]
It is well known that convexity of solutions to a general class of nonlinear parabolic equations in the Euclidean space is preserved as time develops. In this talk, we first revisit this property for the normalized infinity Laplace equation and the curvature flow equation by introducing an alternative approach based on discrete game theory. We then extend our discussion to Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the Heisenberg group and in more general geodesic metric spaces.

Multi-material phase field approach to structural topology optimization and its relation to sharp interface approach (English)
[ Abstract ]
A phase field approach for structural topology optimization which allows for topology changes and multiple materials is analyzed. First order optimality conditions are rigorously derived and it is shown via formally matched asymptotic expansions that these conditions converge to classical first order conditions obtained in the context of shape calculus. Finally, we present several numerical results for mean compliance problems and a cost involving the least square error to a target displacement. This is joint work with Luise Blank, Harald Garcke and Vanessa Styles.

Duality based approaches to total variation-like flows with applications to image processing (English)

Duality based approaches to total variation-like flows with applications to image processing (English)
[ Abstract ]
During the last years, total variation models have became very popular in image processing and analysis. They have been used to solve such problems as image restoration, image deblurring or image inpainting. Their interesting and successful applications became the motivation for many authors to rigorous analysis of properties of solutions to the corresponding total variation flows. The main difficulty in numerical approximation of solutions to these flows is caused by the lack of di fferentiability of the total variation term, and the commonly used approach to overcome this difficulty consists in considering of the dual formulation. In the talk, we consider two total variation flow models. The first one is the anisotropic total variation flow on $L^2$ with additional regularization, and the second one, is the total variation flow on $H^{-s}$. We introduce duality based numerical schemes for approximate solutions to corresponding equations and present some applications to image processing.
This talk is based on joint work with Y. Giga, P. Mucha and P. Rybka.

Fluid flow and electromagnetic fields, from viewpoint of theoretical physics -- Is the Navier-Stokes Equation sufficient to describe turbulence at very high Reynolds numbers? -- (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
There exists analogy between the fluid flow and electromagnetic fields with respect to their mathematical representations. This is reasonable because both are continuous physical fields having energy and momentum in space-time. In particular, fluid’s vorticity is analogous to magnetic field.
On the other hand, for simulation of atmospheric global motion on the giant computer Earth Simulator, many empirical physical parameters must be introduced in order to obtain realistic results for weather prediction, etc. This implies that the present system of equations of fluid flows may not be sufficient to describe fluid motions of large scales at very high Reynolds numbers. We consider whether the above-mentioned analogy is useful for improvement of the theory of turbulence at very high Reynolds numbers.

The self-similar collapse solution of a point vortex system and complex time singularities (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
A system of N point vortices is a Hamiltonian dynamical system with N degrees of freedom,and it is known that under certain parameter and initial conditions, there are self-similar collapse solutions for which N vortices collide at a point while rotating without changing the initial shape of configuration. In this talk, I will introduce such collision solutions and discuss some properties of complex time singularities in relation with those solutions.

Huaxiong Huang (York University)
An immersed boundary method for mass transfer across permeable moving interfaces (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we present an immersed boundary method for mass transfer across permeable deformable moving interfaces interacting with the surrounding fluids. One of the key features of our method is the introduction of the mass flux as an independent variable, governed by a non-standard vector transport equation. The flux equation, coupled with the mass transport and the fluid flow equations, allows for a natural implementation of an immersed boundary algorithm when the flux across the interfaces is proportional to the jump in concentration. As an example, the oxygen transfer from red blood cells in a capillary to its wall is used to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method. We show that our method is capable of handling multi-physics problems involving fluid- structure interaction with multiple deformable moving interfaces and (interfacial) mass transfer simultaneously.
This is joint work with X. Gong and Z. Gong.

Ionic Fluids and Their Transport: From Kinetic Descriptions to Continuum Models (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The problems of distribution and transport of charged particles and ionic fluids are ubiquitous in our daily life and crucial in physical and biological applications. The multiscale and multiphysics nature of these problems provides major challenges and motivations.
In this talk, I will present the derivation of the continuum models such as Poisson-Nerest-Planck (PNP) system from the kinetic formulations.
Our focus is on the multiple species solutions and the corresponding boundary conditions for bounded containers.

A convex model for non-negative matrix factorization and dimensionality reduction on physical space (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
A collaborative convex framework for factoring a data matrix X into a non-negative product AS, with a sparse coefficient matrix S, is proposed. We restrict the columns of the dictionary matrix A to coincide with certain columns of the data matrix X, thereby guaranteeing a physically meaningful dictionary and dimensionality reduction. We focus on applications of the proposed framework to hyperspectral endmember and abundances identification and also show an application to blind source separation of NMR data.
This talk is based on joint work with Michael Moeller, Stanley Osher, Guillermo Sapiro and Jack Xin.

Interactive Data Visualization challenges, approaches and examples (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Data visualization is probably the most important method to analyze scientific datasets. In the time of petaflop supercomputers and high resolution sensors, the visualization of such datasets became a challenge because of the sheer magnitude. Using the latest technology I will describe some of the challenges and approaches to visualize large and massive datasets. The main bottle necks will be explained, as some algorithms and data structures to widen them. Finally I will show some examples of data visualization using a CAVE environment and virtual prototyping from the 3D Labor at the Technical University of Berlin.

Energetic Variational Approaches for Ionic Fluids (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, I will present our recent study on the ionic transport through ion channels in cell membranes. Motivated by our earlier work on energetic variational approaches, developed for various complex fluids, especially electrorheological (ER) fluids (Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 194503 (2008)), we derived/proposed a coupled system for ionic solutions, which takes into account of the solvent water, the diffusion and electro-static interaction of different ions. In particular, I will emphasize on the selectivity effects of the ion channels, under the simplest geometric and molecular structures.

[ Abstract ]
Robust recognition of anatomical structures in medical images is indispensable for clinical support of diagnosis and therapy. In this lecture, the diverse system of human anatomy is shortly introduced first. Then, the overview of detection techniques for such structures in medical images is shown. Finally, our approach of anatomical structure recognition is presented and is discussed, which is realized by a unified framework of landmark detection based on appearance model matching and MAP estimation on inter-landmark distance probabilities.

[ Abstract ]
Particle diffusion in a two dimensional curved surface with thickness
embedded in $R_3$ is considered.
In addition to the usual diffusion flow, we find a new flow with an explicit
curvature dependence in $\\epsilon$ (thickness of surface) expansion.
As an example, the surface of elliptic cylinder is considered, and curvature
dependent diffusion coefficient is calculated. In addition, we consider the
1 dimensional object in $R_3$ (Tube),
and check the physical meaning of curvature effect.
