DISCUSSION MEETING Statistical Physics of Machine Learning 06 January 2020 to 10 January 2020 Madhava Lecture Hall, ICTS Bangalore

Stochastic Thermodynamics, Active Matter and Driven Systems DATE: 07 August 2017 to 11 August 2017 VENUE: Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS Bangalore Stochastic Thermodynamics and Active Systems are areas in statistical physics which have recently attracted a lot of attention and many interesting results have emerged in these areas. Stochastic Thermodynamics typically deals with small systems where the microscopic dynamics satisfies detailed balance and one is interested in deriving laws analogous to thermodynamics but now in a situation where fluctuations are important. An important discovery in this area are the so-called fluctuation relations. Active Systems include systems such as living biological matter, granular materials and other systems where the microscopic dynamics is stochastic, diffusive and dissipative but with the important difference that detailed balance is not satisfied. In addition, non-equilibrium driving in active matter systems occurs at the scale of the individual entities rather than being driven from the system boundaries. A very important question is to formulate a version of stochastic thermodynamics for these systems. The aim of this discussion meeting is to bring together leading researchers in these two areas to exchange ideas and share important developments connecting the two fields. The meeting is organised around the ICTS - Infosys Subramanyan Chandrasekhar lecture series (3 talks) by Ajay Sood (IISc, Bangalore). Apart from these lectures, there will be invited talks by other experts in the field. There will also be a poster session.

DATE: 12 June 2017 to 20 June 2017 VENUE: Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS, Bengaluru Buoyancy plays a major role in the dynamics of atmosphere and interiors of planets and stars, as well as in engineering applications. This field has witnessed major advances in recent times in modeling, experiments, and numerical simulations. This program on modeling, experiments, and numerical aspects of buoyancy-driven flows will bring together researchers working in the areas of astrophysics, fluid turbulence, nonlinear physics, and condensed matter physics. The program is planned as a 4 day school followed by a 5 day discussion meeting. Beside courses of lectures, the school will also contain tutorials on numerical methods. There will be lectures in the discussion meeting on recent results by experts in the field. The aim of the discussions is to foster long-term collaborations among the participants. The topics of the discussion meeting include buoyancy-driven turbulence, Nusselt and Reynolds number scaling, flow reversals, atmospheric applications, rotating convection, etc. Topics of the schools Rayleigh-Bénard instability and gravity waves, Nonlinear saturation, Turbulent buoyancy-driven flow and its phenomenology, Bolgiano-Obukhov and Kolmogorov scaling. - Mahendra Verma Theoretical development, Dissipative anomaly, Scale invariant solutions of the governing equations, Nusselt number scalings. - J. K. Bhattacharjee Experimental investigation of turbulent convection and buoyancy-driven flows in vertical tube, Boundary layers. - Jaywant Arakeri Buoyancy-driven flows in atmosphere , rotating and stratified flows. - Jai Sukhatme Numerical simulations, Finite difference scheme. - Richard Stevens Schedule: School at a pedagogical level for students and postdocs (12-15 June, 2017). Discussion meeting with the participation of leading researchers in the field (16-20 June, 2017).
