Abstract

The conference series Traffic and Granular Flow has been established in 1995 and has since then been held biannually. At that time, the investigation of granular materials and traffic was still somewhat exotic and was just starting to become popular among physicists. Originally the idea behind this conference series was to facilitate the convergence of the two fields, inspired by the similarities of certain phenomena and the use of similar theoretical methods. However, in recent years it has become clear that probably the differences between the two systems are much more interesting than the similarities. Nevertheless, the importance of various interrelations among these fields is still growing. The workshop continues to offer an opportunity to stimulate this interdisciplinary research. Over the years the spectrum of topics has become much broader and has included also problems related to topics ranging from social dynamics to - ology. The conference manages to bring together people with rather different background, ranging from engineering to physics, mathematics and computer science. Also the full range of scientific tools is represented with presentations of empirical, experimental, theoretical and mathematical work. The workshop on Traffic and Granular Flow ’05 was the six thin this series. Previous conferences were held in Julic ¨ h (1995), Duisburg (1997), Stuttgart (1999), Nagoya (2001), and Delft (2003). For its 10th anniversary, Berlin was chosen as location, the largest city and capital of Germany. Berlin is also one of the centers for transport related research and hosts many research institutes that have a long history in the fields covered by the workshop.

Abstract

Larry Pratt received his Ph. D. in physical oceanography in the Woods Hole/MIT Joint Program in 1982.  He then served as a research associate and assistant research professor at the University of Rhode Island before joining the scientific staff at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where he is now a senior scientist.  He is editor of The Physical Oceanography of Sea Straits and has authored or co-authored numerous articles on hydraulic effects in the ocean. J. A. (Jack) Whitehead received his Ph. D. in engineering and applied science from Yale University in 1968.  After postdoctoral work and serving as assistant research geophysicist at the Institute of Geophysical and Planetary Physics at UCLA, he joined the scientific staff at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where he is now a Senior Scientist.  He has authored or co-authored numerous articles on hydraulic effects in the ocean. Hydraulic effects can occur when high-speed ocean currents and atmospheric winds encounter strong topographic features. This book contains a deep and extensive discussion of geophysical flows that are broad enough to be influenced by Earth?s rotation and strong enough to experience classical hydraulic effects such as critical control and hydraulic jumps. Examples include deep overflows and coastal currents in the ocean and winds in the coastal marine layer. The material is appropriate for students at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level who have some elementary knowledge of fluid mechanics.  Reviews of geophysical observations and of the hydraulics of flow with no background rotation are followed by chapters on models of currents in rotating channels, shock waves and time dependence, coastal flow, two-layer stratification, and jets. Although the primary focus is on the theory, a number of case studies, including the Faroe Bank overflow and the California coastal marine layer winds, are presented along with numerous laboratory experiments.  Exercises are presented at the end of most sections.  The presentation should allow the reader to develop a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of the hydraulics of rotating flows.

Abstract

The Conference on Traffic and Granular Flow brings together international researchers from different fields ranging from physics to computer science and engineering to discuss the latest developments in traffic-related systems. Originally conceived to facilitate new ideas by considering the similarities of traffic and granular flow, TGF'15, organised by Delft University of Technology, now covers a broad range of topics related to driven particle and transport systems. Besides the classical topics of granular flow and highway traffic, its scope includes data transport (Internet traffic), pedestrian and evacuation dynamics, intercellular transport, swarm behaviour and the collective dynamics of other biological systems. Recent advances in modelling, computer simulation and phenomenology are presented, and prospects for applications, for example to traffic control, are discussed. The conference explores the interrelations between the above-mentioned fields and offers the opportunity to stimulate interdisciplinary research, exchange ideas, and meet many experts in these areas of research.
