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, in the Department of Engineering Science, in Lecture Room 1, Thom Building (Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PJ).

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.

Accommodation and travel to Oxford

Choosing hotels: Broadly you could expect to walk to the venue in about 20 minutes if you stay east of the river Thames, west of the river Cherwell, south of Belbroughton road (or thereabouts), and north of Christ Church meadow. You could stay further away if you like but it would mean either a longer walk or having to take alternative transport - which in Oxford traffic may not be quicker than walking. Hotels on George Street, and on neighbouring streets, are well-placed.

Some possibilities (certainly not exhaustive):

Old Parsonage, 1-3 Banbury Road, OX2 6NN

The Buttery, 11-12 Broad Street, Oxford OX1 3AP

The Randolph Inn, Beaumont Street, OX1 2LN

Cotswold Lodge Hotel, 66A Banbury Road, OX2 6JP

Bocardo 24-26 George St, Oxford OX1 2AE

To get to Oxford from London, the simplest options are by train from Paddington Station, or Marylebone Station, both of which are easily accessible via the Underground if arriving from the Eurostar, for example. If coming from Heathrow or Gatwick airports, there are also direct bus options, for example the confusingly named “Airline” bus.

Program

Presentation guidelines

If you are a presenter, please note the following:

• Please prepare your talks for 15 minutes (15 or so slides), leaving about 5 minutes for questions and changeover.

• The lecture room is equipped with a projector and attached computer. Please send Radu or Wouter your slides by the evening before your talk so that we can load them onto the computer to ensure straightforward changeovers. If you strongly prefer to use your own machine, it is possible to connect it - there are USB-C and HDMI adapters.

• Please make use of the breaks between sessions to test your presentation works on the room system, especially if you have movies (but even if not).
