Center for Nonlinear Studies
Workshop on
Multi-Scale Interactions
in Turbulent Flows

 


July 18 - 21, 2005

La Fonda Santa Fe Hotel
Santa Fe, New Mexico USA

  One of the most fundamental aspects of turbulent fluid flow is its continuum of scales with strong nonlinear interactions between them. The ``local cascade picture'' of turbulent transfer presupposes a primary interaction of each scale of motion with adjacent scales. There is, however, also expected to be significant coupling between rather well-separated scales. This is true, in particular, for two-dimensional cascades of energy and enstrophy.
The mix of strong interactions both local and non-local in scale poses a challenge for the successful modeling of small-scale turbulent effects. The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading scientists in the field to discuss multi-scale phenomena in fluid turbulence. The workshop will focus on physical understanding of scale interactions in turbulent flows, subgrid modeling, multi-scale computing and hybrid methods and new experimental tools capable of probing multi-scale features of fluid turbulence.
