Center for Analysis of Heterogeneous and Nonlinear Media

Abstract

The Center for Analysis of Heterogeneous and Nonlinear Media was established in October 1986 through the University Research Initiative (URI) program. The scientific research of the Center has consisted of modeling, mathematical analysis and computation of problems in composite and random materials, nonlinear optics and fluid dynamics. The results of this research are presented in a number of research publications and several books. Two workshops, on vortex dynamics and on composite materials, were organized by the Center. The focus of the Center has been on the following research areas: Vortex dynamics in incompressible fluids; Numerical methods for fluid dynamics; Macroscopic properties of composite materials; Wave propagation in random media; and Nonlinear phenomena in optical materials.
