Fluids and Plasmas: Geometry and Dynamics

"The organizing committee envisioned bringing together three groups of people working on the following topics in fluid and plasma dynamics: 1. Geometric aspects : Hamiltonian structures, perturbation theory and nonlinear stability by variational methods, 2) Analytical and numerical methods: contour dynamics, spectral methods, and functional analytic techniques, 3) Dynamical systems aspects: experimental and numerical methods, bifurcation theory, and chaos."- introduction
