This week we welcomed the Department of Mathematics, University of Zagreb (Matematički odsjek PMF Zagreb) and their 𝙈𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞-𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙭 𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖 conference. The conference was organized in memory of prof. Andro Mikelić, a pioneer in multi-scale analysis and its applications.
⏱Starting in 2000, three conferences on multi-scale methods in science and technology have been successfully organized in Dubrovnik in cooperation with prof. Andro Mikeliċ. Their goal was to bring together the mathematicians working on the multi-scale techniques (asymptotic analysis, homogenization, singular perturbation,...) and experts from the applied sciences who use these techniques in modeling, numerical simulations and optimization of real systems.
👩💼Conference topics include:
▪️ the mathematical modeling and analysis of transport processes coupled with fluid flow and reactions in complex deformable media;
▪️ the derivation of effective interface laws for processes in domains involving thin structures or interfaces, separating and controlling the coupling of compartments in deformable (porous) media;
▪️ the development of new concepts and analytical and numerical methods for homogenization in case of almost periodic or stochastic structures coupled with dimension reduction.
🧑💼The following selected application areas will provide examples to be presented and discussed in the conference:
▪️ modeling of physiological processes on the level of single cells, tissues, organs and organism;
▪️ investigation of crucial endothelial and epithelial layers and their role in controlling the processes;
▪️ physical-chemical and biological, fluid-mechanical and mechanical processes in geological layers particular in porous media, applications in agriculture, mining, water supply, geothermal energy supply, waste deposit;
▪️ design of materials with optimized properties, based on their micro-structures; aging, corrosion and weathering of materials.
