Basilisk (Gerris) Users' Meeting 2025

Sponsors

Summary

The meeting will be held on the 7–9th July 2025 at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom.

The format will be similar to earlier Basilisk/Gerris meetings held in Paris, France in 2011, Wellington, New Zealand in 2012, Sevilla, Spain in 2014, Princeton, USA in 2017, Paris, France in 2019 and Paris, France in 2023. Participants are encouraged to share their work using Basilisk (or Gerris) for applications in fluid mechanics, environmental science, engineering etc. Students are especially welcome to participate in this informal and friendly gathering.

Attendance is free of charge but registration is mandatory.

Travel scholarships

Depending on our level of sponsorship, we should be able to fund a few “travel scholarships” in the form of paid-for accommodation in Oxford and/or transportation. We hope to be able to confirm this by the end of March 2025. If you are a student and would benefit from this support, please send an application letter to Wouter Mostert.
