The workshop will focus on new computational and analytical strategies to
transport phenomena arising in the modeling of non-equilibrium statistical
mechanics such as collisional theory, quantum kinetics and stochastic
dynamics for a wide variety of applications, which range from micro
electronic and chemical transport, non-conservative interacting particle
systems as granular or mixtures flows, and strong stochastic dynamics
driven by colored noise.
The workshop's format will be on presentations and open discussions
to different analytical and computational approaches and their comparisons.
Such problems include issues as qualitative comparisons of
deterministic vs. stochastic methods for different kind of models;
hybridization techniques for multi-scale multi-physics calculations such
as the linking of computational quantum to kinetics to macro fluid scales,
through adaptive coarsening and/or compressing.
The goal of the conference is to
gather different communities working
in computational transport problems and expose participants to some of the main
current trends in the field. This meeting will challenge its
participants to confront the many aspects of the task of approximating
the solutions of mathematically sophisticated models, and it will
expose them to some of the tools developed in the different
sub-communities of computational PDE's.
