International Workshop:
Laboratory
Experiments on
Dynamo
Action
(LEDA)
Riga, June 14-16, 1998
(Supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
in frame of the Dresden
"Innovationskolleg Magnetofluiddynamik")
A first experimental realization of magnetic field self-excitation in a
laboratory experiment will hopefully be reached in nearest future. The two
approaches in Karlsruhe and Riga give rise to this hope, other programmes
are under development in France and USA. Therefore, a topical meeting
particularly devoted to Laboratory Experiments on Dynamo Action (LEDA) is
worth to be organized. Present activities will be summarized, and future
programmes shall be discussed at the workshop.
As the Institute of Physics in Riga the
group in Dresden is working on
Liquid Metal MHD in general. A joint sodium experiment for magnetic field
self-excitation is currently in preparation in Riga. Therefore, we jointly
would like to organize this workshop. It shall take place in June next year
in Riga where the dynamo installation can be visited. It will be supported
by the Dresden Innovationskolleg on Magnetofluid-dynamics.
The goal of the workshop is to assess the state-of-the-art in that field,
to stimulate the discussion between the involved teams, and to expose our
own research program to a critical, international discussion. Strong
emphasis will be placed on discussions among the participants.
The workshop is planned to last two days. There is an option for a third
day (i.e. June 14 or 17) depending on the number of submitted
contributions. A visit of the Riga dynamo facility will be included.
Invited lectures will be given by Paul Roberts (Los Angeles),
Fritz Busse
(Bayreuth), Agris Gailitis (Riga), Antoine
Alemany (Grenoble),
Cary B. Forest (Wisconsin),
Dan Lathrop (Maryland).
Registration:
There will be a registration fee of about 300,-DM.
Venue: The workshop will be held in Riga (Latvia).
