Location: Department of Physics, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND, USA
Dates: June 27 - July 1, 2022
Registration Costs: the workshop is free, but registration is required.

About: This workshop originated with current and former members and collaborators of the Wagner research group but is open to anyone interested. Participants will use this opportunity to discuss research into the fundamentals underlying the lattice Boltzmann methods. This includes the novel Molecular Dynamics lattice gas (MDLG) mapping that allows to for the derivation of the lattice Boltzmann method from Newton's equations. The second focus of the workshop will be integer lattice gas methods. The third focus are lattice Boltzmann (and Cahn Hiliard) methods for multi-phase multi-component systems.

The workshop consists of a small number of presentations, but the key purpose is personal interactions that facilitate research collaborations among the participants.

We were originally planning a purely in person workshop, but due to some travel constraints we have now decided to add a hybrid component to the workshop to allow remote participants to give presentations and listen to talks. You can join the presentations online at this Skype link .

Registration:
You can register by sending an email to alexander.wagner@ndsu.edu before June 8, and you know that your registration has been completed when your name appears in the confirmed participants list.
