Outline
This Mini-Conference focuses on 'Non-Equilibrium Transport, Interfaces and Mixing in Plasmas,’ that play an important role in plasmas
in high and low energy density regimes, at astrophysical and at atomic
scales, in nature and technology. Examples include the instabilities
and interfacial mixing in supernovae and in inertial confinement
fusion, particle-field interactions in magnetic fusion and in imploding
Z-pinches, downdrafts in stellar interior and in planetary
magneto-convection, magnetic flux ropes and structures in the Solar
corona and plasma instabilities in the Earth ionosphere, plasma
thrusters and nano-fabrication. One needs to grasp the fundamentals of
non-equilibrium transport, interfaces and mixing in plasmas, in order to better understand these plasma phenomena.
This Program brings together scientists from different areas of plasma
physics, including astrophysical, laboratory and fusion plasmas, as
well as key experts in fluid dynamics, material science and applied
mathematics. It is structured to encourage participants’ communications
with experts from various fields, to promote the exchange of ideas, and
to motivate the discussions of rigorous theoretical approaches and
state-of-the-art numerical simulations along with advanced experimental
techniques and technological applications. Participants include
leading experts and researchers at experienced and early stages of
their carriers from academia and national laboratories, and graduate
students, from national and international scientific communities.
