Navier-Stokes for the birds: a how to guide to formulating the hydrodynamic equations for flocks (aka the "Toner-Tu equations”)
- John Toner(
- University of Oregon
Event description
The talk will take place at 1 pm in the Higgs Centre Seminar room, and all are very welcome! John is an engaging speaker, and his talk is going to be good for both PhD students and staff interested in active matter or statistical physics, or in application of the renormalisation group within a nonequilibrium setting.
If interested, you may also want to read more in John’s book on the physics of flocking, described in the following link (the book also covers the material of John’s lectures of last year):
The Physics of Flocking: Birth, Death, and Flight in Active Matter
The recordings of last year's lecture can be found under the 'related events' to the side.
