As part of the international activities, the Mathematics and Physics Unit organized an international workshop on mathematical analysis of fluid dynamics from December 5 to December 9, 2022, at the Nishi-Waseda campus for the first time in three years. We invited 10 speakers from overseas, who gave lectures on the advanced methods of mathematical analysis of fluid dynamics.

Although it was the first face-to-face meeting in three years, the lively discussions among researchers and students were still going strong — the scheduled time for discussion was not enough. On the second day, December 6th, three students from the Mathematics and Physics Unit Course presented their research results.

As a new trial, some of the lectures were held in a hybrid format using Zoom. In particular, the talk of Prof. Yoshihiro Shibata, former director of the Mathematics and Physics Unit, was co-organized with the Birkhäuser Distinguished Lecture 2022. The Birkhäuser Distinguished Lecture is a webinar series organized by Birkhäuser to promote and maintain scientific exchange, and the speakers are selected by the editorial board of the Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics, an international peer-reviewed journal of mathematical fluid mechanics. Taking advantage of the hybrid format, we also invited a professor who is not able to come to Japan to give a lecture on the advanced topic of mathematical analysis methods in fluid mechanics.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, several workshops were canceled or held online one after another, but in anticipation of the after-coronavirus outbreak, this workshop incorporated a hybrid format as well as face-to-face meetings. In this way, the Mathematics and Physics Unit will continue to expand international activity through international workshops, providing more opportunities for students to interact with researchers who are conducting the world’s most advanced research.
