Workshop Announcement, Turbulent Mixing and Beyond, 18-26 Aug 2007, ICTP, Trieste, Italy

[Turbulent Mixing and Beyond]

Dear Colleagues

We are pleased to announce the Workshop "Turbulent Mixing and Beyond," TMBW-07, 
which will be held at the International Center for Theoretical Physics, 
Trieste, Italy, on 18-26 August 2007

http://users.ictp.it/~tmbw07		(primary address at the ICTP)
http://flash.uchicago.edu/~tmbw07	(mirror site in the US).

You, your colleagues and students are kindly invited to participate in this 
event.

The goals of this Workshop are to expose the generic problem of turbulence 
and turbulent mixing in unsteady flows (including multi-phase, reactive 
and particulate), to a wide scientific community (fluid dynamics, 
turbulence, shocks, boundary layers, plasmas, fusion including inertial 
confinement, magnetic and heavy ion, high energy density physics, 
astrophysics and cosmology, stellar and solar convection, dynamo and 
magneto-hydrodynamics, combustion, material science, optical diagnostics, 
telecommunications, applied and stochastic analyses, data assimilation and 
statistics, etc, see http://users.ictp.it/~tmbw07/structure/main.html and 
http://users.ictp.it/~tmbw07/main/about.html for more details), 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 occurs.

The meeting will feature invited lectures by international experts on a 
wide scope of Themes of the TMBW-07, contributed talks and poster 
presentations by the participants, tutorials, round tables and open 
discussions. The tutorials will cover the novel experimental diagnostic 
techniques in fluids and plasmas, the modern approaches in data 
assimilation and mining, as well as advanced theoretical and numerical 
methods.

To maintain the wide scope and the standards of quality, the Organizing 
Committee has invited leading experts to represent the Themes of the 
TMBW-07.

The Organizing Committee welcomes high quality contributions in a broad 
variety of the Research Topics, listed at 
http://users.ictp.it/~tmbw07/structure/main.html. Based on the merit and 
novelty, some of the regular submissions will be chosen as invited talks.

The participants are invited to submit an abstract to tmbw07 at ictp.it by 
April 23, 2007. The abstract format is described online at 
http://users.ictp.it/~tmbw07/main/abstract.html and will also be sent by a 
separate e-mail.

The Workshop presentations will be posted on-line. The key-note lectures 
will be published as a Theme Issue of the Philosophical Transactions of 
the Royal Society London. The Proceedings of the Workshop will be 
published as a topical issue of the Physica Scripta.

The workshop is sponsored by several agencies and organizations in the 
USA, Europe and Japan. A registration fee is not required for the 
participants of the TMBW-07. Some financial support will be available for 
graduate students and researchers, who would otherwise be unable to attend 
the Workshop.

The Workshop will be held at the Abdus Salam International Center for 
Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy. Trieste is a beautiful historic city 
on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, close to Venice, Ljubljana, Milan, 
Munich, Rome, and other major cities of the Central Europe. For travel 
information, please, visit http://www.ictp.it/pages/info/visiting.html

For the participants of the TMBW-07, the Workshop administration can 
assist with inexpensive and discount travel options to and from Trieste, 
as well as with affordable accommodation. For those participants, who are 
planning to attend the satellite meetings in Europe, UK, Russia or Japan 
shortly before or after the TMBW-07, the Workshop Administration can also 
assist, upon request, in finding appropriate travel arrangements and 
extended accommodation in Trieste.

The Organizing Committee hopes that the TMBW-07 will serve to advance the 
state of the art in understanding the unsteady turbulent processes in 
fluids and plasmas as well as in their rigorous theoretical and stochastic 
descriptions, and will have a major positive impact on the predictive 
modeling capabilities, and, ultimately, control of the complex turbulent 
processes.

the Workshop Administration if you have any questions.
