Goals and Objectives of the Conference and the SchoolThe goals of the International Conference "Turbulent Mixing and Beyond" are
to expose the generic problem of Non-equilibrium Turbulent Processes to a wide scientific community, to promote the
development of new ideas in tackling the fundamental aspects of the
problem, to assist in application of novel approaches in a broad range
of phenomena, where the turbulent processes occur, and to have a
potential impact on technology.
The Conference and the School provide the opportunity to
bring together researchers from the areas,
which include but are not limited to fluid dynamics, plasmas, high
energy
density physics, astrophysics, material science, combustion,
atmospheric and
earth sciences, nonlinear and statistical physics, applied mathematics,
probability and statistics, data processing and computations,
optics and telecommunications, and to have their
attention focused on the long-standing formidable task of non-equilibrium
turbulent processes.
Leading
experts and researchers at experienced and early stages of their carriers from academia, national laboratories, corporations and industry, and graduate students from
developed and developing countries are invited to participate.
The First International Conference 'Turbulent Mixing and Beyond' TMB-2007 was held in August 2007 at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy. By all the standards, the Conference was a major success. The TMB
Community has identified non-equilibrium turbulent
processes as the intellectually rich and highly fascinating
problem, whose
exploration can have a transformative impact on our understanding of a
wide variety of physical phenomena, from atomistic to astrophysical
scales, on fundamental principles of mathematical modeling of the
dynamics of continuous media and non-equilibrium kinetics, and on
the technology development in fusion, nano-fabrication, telecommunications, and aeronautics. A creation
of an Environment for multi-disciplinary collaboration is essential for achieving success in solution of this multi-faceted problem and enabling the quality of the information yield.
The Second International Conference and Advanced School "Turbulent Mixing and Beyond" is organized at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, and is hosted by the Centre as a regular activity.
The Second Conference and
Advanced School “Turbulent Mixing and Beyond” had the following objectives:
a) Encourage the integration of theory, experiments,
large-scale numerical simulations and state-of-the-art technologies for
exploration of physical mechanisms of non-equilibrium turbulent processes, from atomistic
to macro-scales, in both high and low energy density regimes.
b) Foster the application of innovative approaches for tackling the fundamental aspects of the problem, and understand and extend the range of applicability of traditional statistically steady considerations. c) Stimulate the application of advanced statistical and stochastic techniques and data analysis methodologies for unified characterization of the experimental and numerical data sets and for the estimation of their quality and information capacity. d) Further develop the Turbulent Mixing and Beyond Community and enable it with the means of information exchange via a Collaborative Computing Environment, providing access to the state-of-the-art advanced computational methodologies for data annotation, visualization, storage, transfer and analysis. The International Conference "Turbulent Mixing and Beyond" is organized to advance knowledge of the fundamental aspects of the generic problem of non-equilibrium turbulent processes and to provide breakthrough in predictive modeling capabilities, physical description and, ultimately, control of these complex processes.
