7 November 2003 to 7 November 2003
Turbulence is ubiquitous in industrial processes. Engineers need to understand turbulent flows in order to control them, design for their adverse effects or utilise them for best effect (as in mixing processes). In all cases, prediction is a necessary element in the engineering design calculations.
The development over the past 10-20 years of usable Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes has produced a sea change in the design and development approach, allowing products to be brought to the market much more rapidly and economically. However, CFD codes are necessarily based on turbulence models whose parameters have to be deduced from measurements. The generality of these parameters is questionable, and the mathematical aspects of the models have been inadequately explored.
The practical importance of turbulence has led The Royal Academy of Engineering to launch an Initiative on Turbulence, the most important outcome of which was the definition and agreement of a 6-month Isaac Newton Institute (INI) Research Programme to try to evaluate the fundamental issues and to develop a strategy to address these issues for the future. The Isaac Newton Institute is based in a purpose-built building which is designed to allow leading mathematical scientists to address together important issues in mathematical sciences.
This Symposium is the opening one in the Research Programme and is intended to set the scene for the subsequent work in the Programme. Leading industrial practitioners and leading specialists in turbulence will come together to outline the needs of industry for predictive methods for turbulence systems and to agree ways forward in addressing these needs.
The Symposium is being organised by the Industrial Working Party (representing The Royal Academy of Engineering) of the INI Research Programme on Turbulence, in collaboration with the Organisers of the Research Programme. The Industrial Working Party is as follows:
M.W. Reeks (Joint Research Centre, Ispra): Chairman
J. Coupland (Rolls-Royce)
R.P. Cleaver (BG Technology)
D.P. Hills (British Aerospace)
A.G. Hutton (DERA)
J.R. Noyce (BNFL/Magnox Electric)
M.J. Rabbitt (British Energy)
D.J. Thomson (Met. Office)
The Organisers of the INI Research Programme are as follows:
J.C. Vassilicos (DAMTP, Cambridge)
G.F. Hewitt (Imperial College, London)
P.A. Monkewitz (EPF, Lausanne, Switzerland)
N.D. Sandham (Queen Mary & Westfield College, London)
The Symposium is open to all those who are interested in the field, but participation from those involved in predicting industrial turbulent flows will be particularly welcomed.
For each technical area covered, the session will begin with presentations, identifying industrial problems and opportunities. This will be followed by a panel discussion to promote interaction between the industrial and academic participants in identifying turbulence modelling requirements and setting test problems. Finally, a rapporteur will sum up the main points from the session and will prepare a short written report which will serve as a general guideline and theme for the work of the Research Programme in this area.

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
