Symposium on Fluid Science and Turbulence

At the boundaries of nonlinear physics, fluid mechanics and turbulence: where do we stand?

Baltimore, Maryland (USA)
May 30 and 31, 2008

The objectives of this two-day symposium are to take stock of the current state-of-the-art of research at the broad intersection between nonlinear physics, fluid dynamics and turbulence, and to discuss and map out future directions. The symposium will bring together the senior scientists who led the developments of the last decades, and talented junior scientists who represent the future of the field. The symposium will consist of 12 invited talks, subject-specific poster sessions and extensive discussion periods. The program will commence May 30 (Friday morning) and run through May 31 (Saturday) late afternoon. The Symposium banquet will take place Friday evening. Topics to be covered include developments in nonlinear physics and statistical mechanics of complex systems, scaling dynamics of high-Reynolds number turbulence, multiscale approaches in fluid mechanics, wall-bounded turbulence, and high Rayleigh number convection and cryogenic turbulence. A special issue is planned in the peer-reviewed journal Physica D. Participants of the symposium will be invited to submit papers to the special issue. The symposium also honors Prof. K.R. Sreenivasan, a most influential figure in nonlinear physics, fluid mechanics and turbulence, on occasion of his 60th birthday.
