MuMoLaDe - Multiscale Modeling of Landslides and Debris - The 3rd Mumolade Workshop, Darmstadt, June 2014

The 3rd Mumolade Workshop, Darmstadt, June 2014

The 3rd MUMOLADE workshop took place at the Tech­nische Uni­ver­sität Darmstadt (TUD) from June 23 to July 1, 2014. Ad­vanced scien­tific train­ing co­ur­ses and the skill train­ing on “Con­sult­ing Chal­lenge Workshop” were pro­vided for the ESR and ER fel­lows of the MUMOLADE. A visit­ing to the re­search in­stitutes GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionen­forschung and ESA (European Space Agen­cy) was also or­ganized as part of the pro­gram­me.

The scien­tific train­ing co­vered the fol­low­ing sub­jects:

  • Ther­modynamic an­alysis of solid-fluid mix­tures, Prof. K. Hutt­er
  • Laborato­ry ex­peri­ments on dry granular avalanches, Prof. S. Hsiau
  • Ex­peri­ments on shear band­ing and hy­draulic be­haviors, Prof. R. Kat­zenbach
  • Mat­hemat­ical met­hods in Fluid Mech­anics, Prof. M. Ob­er­lack
  • Shal­low creep­ing flow of landslides, Prof. K. Hutt­er
  • Shal­low rapid granular avalanches, Prof. K. Hutt­er
  • Two-layer shal­low flow, Prof. K. Hutt­er
  • Com­putation­al Met­hods on granular flow, Prof. S. Hsiau
  • Other in­ves­tiga­tions on granular flow, Prof. S. Hsiau
  • Tur­bulent dis­per­sed multi­phase flows, Prof. A. Sadiki

Com­plemen­ta­ry train­ing on Pro­ject risk man­age­ment & Per­son­al and care­er man­age­ment was pro­vided by Dr. T. Meier.

Taken the feed­back from the pre­vi­ous workshops, a boun­te­ous “fel­low’s sess­ion” was al­located for fel­low’s pre­sen­ta­tions and dis­cuss­ion, so the fel­lows had en­ough time to talk on their in­dividu­al re­search work, pro­gress and oth­ers.

Darmstadt is a small city, but it is known as city with re­search and tech­nolog­ies. Be­sides the train­ings, the fel­lows could visit the well-known re­search in­stitutes “GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionen­forschung” and “ESA (European Space Agen­cy)” in Darmstatdt.

A soci­al event was of cause not mis­s­ing be­cause it is im­por­tant for the net­work­ing. The fel­lows had a nice even­ing togeth­er with lec­tures and pro­fes­sors in a re­staurant with Ger­man am­bi­ence.
