5th International Workshop

We welcome your participation in the 5th International Workshop on Model Reduction in Reacting Flows (IWMRRF)

Berlin_silhouetteJune 28 – July 1, 2015
Spreewald, Germany

This biennial workshop brings together international experts on the theory and application of model reduction techniques in reactive flows. The objective of the workshop is to promote discussion and exchange of information among experts in this technical area, thereby promoting the advance of knowledge as regards the development of effective methods for model reduction in reacting flow.

IWMRRF2015_flyerTopics:

  • Theoretical Foundations  |  Theoretical foundations of model reduction techniques, including definitions of slow, fast invariant manifolds and related subjects.
  • Mechanism Simplification  |  Chemical kinetic mechanisms simplification.
  • Model Reduction in ODE’s, DAE‘s and PDE’s
  • Computational Tools  |  Computational tools to analyze numerically generated reacting flows.
  • Applied Engineering*

* Additional topic

Please submit your extended abstract as a PDF file no later than March 15, 2015. Please scroll down for more information about submissions.

Travel Information

Airports:

The closest airports are located in Berlin [BER]. Be aware that Berlin has two airports: Berlin Tegel [TXL] and Berlin Schönefeld [SXF].

Shuttle Service:

A shuttle is available upon request. Please contact transport-transfer@lausitz.net with your travel details for prices and to arrange a transfer from the airport to the hotel.

Public Transport:

Please be aware that you have to buy a ticket before entering a train or bus. At both airports you can buy tickets at vending machines. The Venue (Schloss Lübbenau) is located in the small city Lübbenau. The best way to reach Lübbenau is by train from Berlin.

From Airport Berlin Tegel to Lübbenau:

  1. Take a bus to one of the main stations (Berlin-Alexander Platz, Berlin-Hauptbahnhof, Berlin-Zoologischer Garten). You have to buy a ticket for zone AB at the ticket desk in the main terminal or at the ticket machines outside terminal A. The ticket costs about 2.70€.
  2. From one of the main stations (Berlin-Alexander Platz, Berlin-Hauptbahnhof, Berlin-Zoologischer Garten, Berlin-Ostbahnhof) you have to take a train in the direction of Cottbus. You have to buy a ticket in advance either at an information deck or at a vending machine with a “DB” logo. Ticket costs about 12€ per person. The train line is the line “RE 2”. The train goes every hour and takes about one hour to Lübbenau.
  3. Get off the train in Lübbenau. It’s a 15-minute walk to the hotel. Leave the train station and follow the road “Poststraße” in the direction North-East. This will bring you to the historical center of Lübbenau. Once you have reached a small square, turn right and follow the road “Elm-Welk-Straße”. You will pass a bridge and after a few hundred meters you should see the castle to the left. See also map below.

From Airport Berlin Schönefeld to Lübbenau:

  1. Leave the airport and walk to the train station. In the tunnel below the rails you will find vending machines with a “DB” logo. Buy a ticket to Lübbenau. Ticket costs about 12€ per person. You will receive some information about the best connection while purchasing the ticket. There is a direct connection every hour to Lübbenau or you have to take a suburban train (S-Bahn) to Königs Wusterhausen and then change to a regional train to Cottbus.
  2. Get off the train in Lübbenau. It’s a 15-minute walk to the hotel. Leave the train station and follow the road “Poststraße” in the direction North-East. This will bring you to the historical center of Lübbenau. Once you have reached a small square, turn right and follow the road “Elm-Welk-Straße”. You will pass a bridge and after a few hundred meters you should see the castle to the left. See also map below.
