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

[Snejana Abarji]

Dear students

Following the email of Prof. Hickernell, I forward you the information 
about the workshop we are organizing in Italy on 18-26 Aug 2007.

The workshop focuses on a generic fluid dynamics problem, unsteady 
turbulent processes. The scope of the workshop is wide, and inlcudes the 
applied analysis, partial differential and stochastic equations, and data 
analysis. If you feel you can submit a presentation - please, talk to your 
adviser and, upon his permission, submit it. Some financial support will 
be available for young researchers and graduate students, and your 
application will be given very careful consideration. We plan to have a 
good audience. The Proceedings of the workshop will be published in a 
research journal. As Prof. Hickernell has mentioned, this may be a good 
opportunity for you to expose your work.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards

Snejana I. Abarji, Prof. Dr.

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 
meeting.

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 US, 
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.

Please, feel free to contact the members of the Organization Committee or the 
Workshop Administration if you have any questions.
