Modelling of Multiphase Astrophysical Media

​​ A wide range of astrophysical systems are multiphase. Gas phases at vastly different temperatures are co-spatial, interact with each other, and often lie at the core of understanding the matter and energy flows determining the dynamics of those systems.

Multiphase systems are ubiquitous - some examples include coronal rain, the interstellar medium, galactic winds, intracluster and intergalactic medium.

This workshop is intended to bring theorists from different sub-fields of astrophysics together to discuss challenges and solutions in modeling multiphase systems and the relevant physical processes shaping them.

The key questions to be addressed include (but are not limited to):

  • Under which conditions do multiphase systems form?
  • What sets the mass / momentum / energy transfer rates between the phases?
  • Which morphology and what kinematics do multiphase systems have?
  • How can we model multiphase gas computationally?
  • We specifically invite colleagues working on modeling the solar corona, the ISM, CGM, ICM and galactic in-/outflows - but also encourage researchers working on other multiphase systems to apply to this cross-field workshop.

    Registration and participants

    As the main purpose for the workshop is to have lively discussions, we aim to have around 50 participants on-site. Registration is now open, you can find the link here.

    Venue

    The workshop will be held at Schloss Ringberg, overlooking the Tegernsee on the edge of the Bavarian Alps (Germany). It offers full-board accommodation and an inspiring atmosphere for intense communication, particularly fruitful for workshops.

    All participants will be accomodated at the castle. The conference fee is 840 Euros for 5 nights, which includes accommodation, all meals, and the conference registration.

    How to reach Schloss Ringberg

    Please check the guest information for Ringburg's Castle provided by themselves.
    For navigation devices the address is: 83708 Kreuth (or 83700 Reitrain) - Schlossstrasse 20 - Schloss Ringberg.
