01D04 Mathematical Modeling of Transport Processes
OverviewThis session provides a forum for the presentation of results from the use of applied mathematics in addressing current issues in transport processes. Although we hope that presented results will include laboratory-derived verification it is not mandatory. We do expect novelty either in approaches or results. Because mathematics is the language that connects our multi-disciplinary world, it is important to continue to emphasize and promote its usage.
