Workshop in Pisa

From February 5th to February 7th there has been a workshop on PDEs and fluid mechanics at the “Centro Ricerche Matematiche Ennio De Giorgi” of the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, where I was very honored to be invited to give a talk.

The slides of my talk are linked here: CRM_2018. The subject is very dear to me: fingering convection, a peculiar form of convection that occurs with two buoyancy-changing scalars having different diffusivities and competing effects on density (think temperature and salinity in sea water).

I gave a similar version of the same talk earlier at the American University of Sharjah at a workshop on PDEs and applications.
