Purpose

In this 3-day school, we will introduce the basic theory of fluid dynamics and simulations of hydrodynamics. The program of the school consists of five lectures and five hands-on Lab session. Participants can expect to learn how to perform basic hydrodynamic simulations with FLASH code, and work together in a group of 2-4 people on a specific small scientific project.

Registration

Registration Starting Date: August 01, 2019
Registration Ending Date: August 15, 2019

There will be no registration fee for the school. The number of particapants may be limited, depending on the actual budget and space limit.

You can also request the booking for a room in the nearby Berkeley Hotel. As the number of rooms are limited, priority will be given for earlier registrants. Finalcial support may be availble on request.
