Short Course

Introduction to basic principles of fluid mechanics

 by

Constantin  Fetecau & Dumitru Vieru

October 02 – November 29, 2017

Schedule: The course will consist of 18 lectures (each of 2 hours duration). The lectures will be on Monday (15:00-17:00) and Wednesday (15:00-17:00).

Course objectives: Provide a fundamental understanding of the principles of fluid mechanics with heat transfer due to convection, conduction and radiation.

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of vector analysis and partial differential equations.

Topics which will be covered:  Classical fluid mechanics is a branch of the continuum mechanics and it is based on the assumption that a fluid has a continuous structure. The fundamental property of fluids is that cannot be in equilibrium in a state of stress, therefore, the mutual action between two adjacent parts is not collinear to the normal at the common surface. The equations of motion of a general continuous medium lead to a system of differential equations which has to be satisfied by the velocity, density, pressure, etc. of an arbitrary fluid. In this course we shall consider the governing differential equations of the fluid flow, their derivation from fundamental axioms, and the various forms which they take under the assumptions concerning the fluid or the type of motion. Using the principles of classical fluid mechanics we shall present the basic equations of the fluid motion in a correct mathematical way and a concise form. The basic equations of fluid motion will be determined based on the following fundamental principles: (i) the continuum hypothesis; (ii) the conservation of mass; (iii) balance of momentum (Newton second law of motion);(iv) balance (conservation) of energy. Theoretical/practical aspects of fluid dynamics, the importance and utility of the governing equations (the Navier-Stokes equations) will be studied.

Short Course

Tensor and exterior products of vector spaces

             by

            Johann Davidov

November 10 – December 15, 2017

Schedule: The course will consist of 10 lectures (each of 2 hours duration). The lectures will be on Tuesday (15:30-17:30) and Friday (14:30-16:30). The course will be starting from November 10, 2017.

Course objectives: The purpose of the course is to fill in the gap left in the university courses.

Prerequisites: Standard facts about vector spaces and linear maps.

Topics which will be covered:  Tensor and exterior products of vector spaces (and more generally, of modules) have wide application in many branches of mathematics, even in array programming languages. They should be part of the mathematical culture of every professional mathematician. Unfortunately, this topic is usually not included in the standard university programs.

SMS Special Seminar Series

Monday at 11:00 am in the SMS Seminar Room

Speakers: Umar Shahzad

Title: Understanding Equivariant Cohomology

Abstract: Equivariant cohomology is a cohomology theory from algebraic topology which applies to topological spaces with a group action. It can be viewed as a common generalization of group cohomology and an ordinary cohomology theory. This is a series of talks on understanding equivariant cohomology and equivariantintegration. The aim of these seminars is to explain Fiber bundles, Maps between fiber bundles, Principal G-bundles, Hopf bundles, Pullback of a fiber bundle.

 

 

SMS Special Seminar Series

Wednesday and Friday at 11:00 am in the SMS Seminar Room

Speakers: Imran Anwar

Title: Graded Free Resolutions and Hilbert Functions

Abstract:  The aim of these seminars is to explain the graded algebraic structures, free resolutions of graded rings and modules, Betti numbers, Hilbert Function and Hilbert series from the book of Irena Peeva with illustrating examples. It will provide a glimpse on some exciting directions in which commutative algebraists are working.
