Eberhard Bodenschatz (Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Goettingen) The transport, distribution and collisions of particles in turbulent flows is of fundamental interest, as well as being present in a variety […]

Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of Collective Dynamics from Bacteria to Crowds July 9, 2012 — July 13, 2012 Coordinators: Federico Toschi (Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands) Adrian Muntean (Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands) The collective motion of individuals (correlated motion of ants or migration of bacteria, flocks of birds, just to mention but a few) […]

Suspensions of small aggregates are found in many different situations, such as environmental, chemical, industrial or material processes for colloids, polymer manufacturing and aerosols. The control of small aggregates size distribution is a key question for the theoretical investigation, and more importantly for the processing of the suspensions. In turbulent fluid flows, the existence of […]

SCIENTIFIC CONTENT This six-week program (12 March 2012 to 20 April 2012) will focus on recent development in the understanding of fluid dynamics turbulence with the goal to identify promising breakthrough directions. From the point of view of theoretical physics, turbulence is a classical field theory, out of equilibrium and in a strong coupling  regime. Turbulence is one […]

Aim & Description The goal of the workshop is to bring together scientists working in the fundamental physics of particle transport in turbulence and related phenomena. The idea is to focus on a short but intense period (the workshop is organized over 3 full days) and to bring together scientists working on: experimental, numerical, theoretical […]

The transport, distribution and collisions of particles in turbulent flows is of fundamental interest, as well as being present in a variety of engineering and naturally occurring flows. Examples of related scientific challenges include rain formation in clouds, pollution dispersion in the atmosphere, emission reduction in combustion and plankton population dynamics. In such flows, particle […]
