Our Mission...
Inspired by the intellectual heritage of J. M. Burgers, the mission of the Burgers Program is to enhance the quality and international visibility of fluid dynamics research and educational programs at the University of Maryland with the help of an endowed Burgers Fund. Fluid dynamics in this context is viewed to include a broad range of dynamics, from nanoscales to geophysical scales, in simple and complex fluids.
Examples of Burgers Program Activities...
- Providing an environment and precedence for knowledge exchange and networking within the fluid dynamics community on the University of Maryland campus.
- Maintaining a close collaboration with the J. M. Burgers Centre in The Netherlands.
- Creating and building a Burgers Fund.
The Burgers Program is supported by faculty from the College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the A. J. Clark School of Engineering.
The 6th Annual Burgers Symposium for Fluid Dynamics will be held Wednesday, November 18, 2009 from 1-5:30 pm, Rms. 1107 & 1111 of the Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building.
The annual meeting of the Division of Fluid Mechanics (DFD) of the American Physical Society (APS) will be held on November 21-24, 2009 in Minneapolis. Details about registration and abstract submission can be found on the DFD website http://www.aps.org/units/dfd/. Also news about fluid dynamics activities is given in the current DFD newsletter which can also be found on the website.
