4月26日(木) 15:00 -- 16:00 劉太平教授 (京都大学、中央研究院数学研究所(中華民国)) ``Multi-Dimensional Gas Flows, Some Historical Perspectives.'' <研究発表要旨> We present a historical perspective on the difficult subject of multi-dimensional gas flows. There are some key issues debated in a panel discussion chaired by von Nuemann and attended by Heisenberg, von Karman, Burgers and others in 1949. We will discuss this as related to the recent developments in the shock wave theory.
