2. MEETING: ASTRONUM 2018, June 25-29, 2018, Panama City Beach, Florida,
USA

Maison de la Simulation (CEA/CNRS/UPS/UVSQ), France will organize
ASTRONUM-2018 - the 14th International Conference on Numerical Modeling
of Space Plasma Flows in Panama City Beach, Florida, USA, on 25-29 June,
2018.

Conference Website:
https://www.icnsmeetings.com/conference/astronum2018/index.html

The conference will cover the following topics:

(1) Advanced numerical methods for space and astrophysical flows; (2)
Large-scale fluid-based, kinetic, and hybrid simulations; (3) Turbulence
and cosmic ray transport; (4) Magnetohydrodynamics (5) Software packages
for modeling and analyzing plasma flows / Visualisation

with the application to

(1) Physics of the Sun-Heliosphere-Magnetosphere; (2) Interstellar
medium and star formation; (3) Cosmology and galaxy formation; (4)
Dynamo effect; (5) Stellar Physics.

The purpose of the conference is to bring together leading experts in
applied mathematics, space physics, astrophysics, and geophysics to
discuss the application of novel numerical algorithms and petascale
parallelization strategies to computationally challenging problems. The
conference will be structured around invited, 40-minute keynote and
25-minute regular talks, and a limited number of contributed talks, with
the attempt to have no parallel sessions. The conference web site
icnsmeetings.com<http://icnsmeetings.com/> will soon provide the information about the conference
venue, registration, and means of transportation. E-mail inquiries about
the meeting should be directed to Nikolai.Pogorelov at uah.edu<http://uah.edu/> and
Edouard.Audit at cea.fr<http://cea.fr/>.

Program Committee: Tahar Amari (CNRS Ecole Polytechnique), Edouard Audit
(CEA, Maison de la Simulation, co-chair), Amitava Bhattacharjee
(Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory), Phillip Colella (Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory), Anthony Mezzacappa (University of
Tennessee, Knoxville), Ewald Mueller (Max-Planck-Institute for
Astrophysics, Garching), Nikolai Pogorelov (University of Alabama in
Huntsville, chair), Kazunari Shibata (Kyoto University), James Stone
(Princeton University), Jon Linker (Predictive Science Inc.), and Gary
P. Zank (University of Alabama in Huntsville).
