| In this four day interdisciplinary workshop with the
topic "Process Engineering of Thin Liquid Films", concrete problems
from industry are being modelled and mathematically analysed. The
film thickness we consider here ranges from nano- to millimeters.
The workshop invites representatives from industry to give a presentation
on their problems on its first day. Afterwards, during the afternoon, the
scientists and PhD students form small teams, each of them focussing on
one particular problem. Brainstorming and intensive research will continue
during the following two and a half days. During that time it is important
for each team to have the possibility to query the industrial partner.
On the afternoon of the fourth day a member of each team will present
their ideas and results, including the models developed and, possibly,
solutions.

In an age of rapid technological development it will become ever more
important to recognize the arising opportunities for the improvement and
new development of products and for the refinement and increase of efficiency
of production processes.
This workshop gives industrial partners the chance to aim for innovative
solutions and new perspectives for a problem of their interest with
the backing of an interdisciplinary team of expert scientists from
universities and research institutes.
Industrial partners will have the opportunity to
-
obtain a model accessible to mathematical analysis,
-
employ state of the art mathematical methods for answering the relevant
questions,
-
improve and adapt their numerical tools by taking advantage of state of
the art numerical algorithms,
-
combine existing solution procedures with optimization methods,
-
develop new ideas and perspectives.
The workshop is also meant to initiate longer term collaboration with a
small team of scientists and PhD students to further investigate particular
aspects of the problem and develop new numerical software. |

The DFG Research Center MATHEON, Mathematics for Key Technologies is
a network of applied mathematics in Berlin. More than 38 professors and
150 scientific staff conduct research on concrete problems related to key
technologies and aim at the development of new theoretical methods to solve
highly complex problems.
-
The Weierstrass Insitute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics has long
term experiences with project oriented research in applied mathematics.
The WIAS pursues the entire problem-solving
process from the interdisciplinary modeling over the theoretical
mathematical analysis of the model to concrete numerical simulations of
concrete economic and technological problems.
-
The research program Fluid Systems Technologies connects modeling,
experimental, analytical and numerical investigation with questions
concerning technological applications
and design of fluid systems. In close cooperation with the graduate
school Transport Phenomena with Moving Boundaries, it has grown
into an established, interdisciplinary research team of applied mathematicians,
engineers and physicists.
-
Apart from the expertise of the participating scientists, the workshop
offers the infrastructure of the participating universities and institutes
of Berlin, in particular access to state of the art numerical software
and high performance computers.
