'Interfaces and Mixing - Non-Equilibrium Transport Across the Scales'.

The Symposium is invited by the
National Academy of Sciences of the USA and the
  National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the USA.
Synopsis
Interfacial transport and mixing are non-equilibrium processes coupling kinetic to meso- and macroscopic dynamics. They occur in fluids and materials over celestial events to molecules. Addressing the societal challenges posed by alternative energy sources, efficient use of non-renewable resources and purification of water - requires a better understanding of non-equilibrium interfacial transport and mixing. The Symposium builds upon recent achievements in understanding interfacial transport and mixing using theoretical analysis, large-scale numerical simulations, laboratory experiments, and technology development. The symposium focuses on mechanics and hydrodynamic aspects of the non-equilibrium dynamics. It brings together scientists from different areas of fluid dynamics, mechanics, applied mathematics, statistics, chemistry and material science. The symposium explores the state-of-the-art in the non-equilibrium transport and charts perspectives for the future.
