The Nature of High Reynolds Number Turbulence

Month: August 2008

Date: August 26--December 19

Name: The Nature of High Reynolds Number Turbulence

Location: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Programme Theme

Turbulence is a notoriously difficult subject. The goal of this programme is to bring together leading experts from across the world to debate the fundamental questions. The discussion will be wide ranging, from the initiation of turbulence through to its asymptotic state at high Reynolds number, including the effects of rotation and stratification, and the addition of different phases, such as bubbles, particles and polymers.

Organisers

P. Bartello (McGill), P. A. Davidson (Cambridge), D. Dritschel (St. Andrews), Y. Kaneda (Nagoya), R. Kerswell (Bristol).
