SUMMARY:Extreme events\, tail statistics\, and large deviation theory in f
 luid flows - Eric Vanden-Eijnden (Courant Institute of Mathematical Scienc
 es)

DESCRIPTION:In recent years several analytical and numerical methods have 
 been introduced to characterize the pathway\, rate\, and likelihood of rar
 e but important events. &nbsp\;These methods build on large deviation theo
 ry\, which indicates that the way such events occur is often predictable a
 nd offers ways to compute them via solution of an optimization problem for
  their most likely path. &nbsp\;In this talk\, I will discuss the applicab
 ility of these techniques to fluid flows\, in particular in the context of
  regime transition in atmospheric flows and rogue waves in deep sea.
