Models and numerical methods for particle and population dynamicsMarseille, Bouches du Rhône 20 July - 28 August 2020 |

The CEMRACS is a scientific event of the SMAI (the french Society of
Applied and Industrial Mathematics). The concept was initiated
in 1996 by Yvon Maday and Frédéric Coquel and takes place every year at
CIRM in Luminy (Marseille, France) during 6 weeks from mid-july. The goal of this
event is to bring together scientists from both the academic and
industrial communities to work and discuss on focused topics.
During the first week, a classical school is proposed. It consists of several lectures given by
leading scientists and related to the topics of the research projects.
The remaining 5 weeks are dedicated to working on the research
projects, possibly after a morning seminar.
CEMRACS'20 will be the twenty-fifth of the series. It will be dedicated to systems of particles in physics, biological or socioeconomical systems: for instance, ions, photons, sprays, cells, pedestrians, species or political opinions etc. This theme gather both challenges in high performance computing, deep issues in the modeling of active systems or new industrial problems like in smart cities management. For understanding these systems of thousands or even millions of interacting particles, it is often necessary to derive the large scale dynamics, like we could do for gaz. These macroscopic models have generally limited range of validity. As a consequence, for observing these dynamics, numerical methods should be performant as well as valid at different scales. The models are strongly depending on the underlying interactions : when possible, comparison with experimental data could be performed. A special focus will be on plasma physicis application and smart cities but various other topics involving systems of particles would be adressed.
CEMRACS'20 will consist of two joint events:
