Workshop on New Ideas and Tools in Turbulence

Application of machine learning to turbulence modeling
2:10pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: I will discuss some preliminary work on using machine learning
to produce turbulence models that can be used in large eddy simulation.
I will discuss how better models can be constructed and in general,
how one can use machine learning to...

For What It's Worth: An Analyst's Hunt for Asymptotic Heat Transport in Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Charlie Doering
1:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: The confounding question of asymptotically high Rayleigh number heat transport in Rayleigh-Bénard convection modeled by the Boussineq approximation to the Navier-Stokes equations is reviewed from viewpoints of theory (models of the model)...

Workshop on New Ideas and Tools in Turbulence

Emergence of Multiscaling in a Flow Driven by a Random Force
10:10am|Simonyi Hall 101

We are interested in moments of velocity increments and derivatives, characterized by scaling exponents overline{(v(x + r) − v(x))n} ∝ r^ζn and overline{(∂xvx)n} ∝ Re^ρn , respectively. In high Reynolds number flows, the moments of different orders...

Joint IAS/Princeton University Number Theory Seminar

Derived structures controlling representations
Carl Wang-Erickson
4:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

The point of this talk is to give three examples of derived structures influencing representations that have connections with number theory. These structures arise from the differential graded algebra of group cochains valued in the endomorphism...

Global well-posedness and scattering for the radially symmetric cubic wave equation with a critical Sobolev norm
Benjamin Dodson
1:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

In this talk we discuss the cubic wave equation in three dimensions. In three dimensions the critical Sobolev exponent is 1/2. There is no known conserved quantity that controls this norm. We prove unconditional global well-posedness for radial...
