Inertial-range dynamics and mixing

Workshop theme

Despite the long history of turbulence research, there still remain many fundamental unanswered questions. Many of these relate to Inertial-Range Dynamics and Mixing in turbulence. The proposed 5-day workshop will focus on the near-universal physics of such phenomena as observed in certain canonical turbulent flows at high Reynolds number. It will bring together researchers in the communities of theory, modelling, numerical simulations, laboratory experiments and field-observations, to discuss and exchange new ideas on various themes, including:

Intermittency, Scaling and Universality
Turbulent Diffusion (single- and two-particle) and Mixing
Lagrangian Dynamics and Statistics
Coarse Graining - Modelling
Reynolds Number and Scale Dependence
Anisotropy, Inhomogeneity and Nonstationarity
Superfluid Turbulence, MHD, 2-D Turbulence
Vortex Dynamics and Structure

Applications for this workshop are now closed
