The theme of this conference is to discuss, with review
lectures and contributed papers, the ongoing developments
of research in ‘turbulence, waves and mixing’ and their
applications in industry, environment and geo/astro and
mathematical physics.

Description: |
Our understanding and the fundamental questions about
turbulence and mixing have kept developing since O.
Reynolds and Boussinesq made turbulence a subject in
1880s.
Pioneers such as Taylor, Prandtl, Richardson (of King’s
College), Kolmogorov (his paper was published 75 years
ago!) and others developed the dynamical and statistical
approaches. Conceptual developments and advances in
practical modelling and prediction during the past 75
years, have benefitted from 3-dimensional measurement
techniques and computer simulations at very high
Reynolds number (>10 5), so that for example patterns,
organised eddy structures, particle trajectories and
conditional analysis can be better quantified and
applied in practice. Papers at the conference cover a
wide swath of topics from large scale instabilities that
generate turbulence to small scale eddies that dissipates
turbulence.
Research into the interactions between turbulence and
waves in engineering and geophysics, which are equally
interesting and controversial, are also included in
the conference, such as advances in water waves, KdV,
solitons, Tsunami and Air-Sea interactions.
This conference is being supported by Cambridge
Environmental Research Consultants (CERC).
