WORKSHOP-COURSE ON

 TURBULENCE IN LIFE



8th-14thJune    2016

 ERCOFTAC, CIMNE -UPC, MIO, CUM, PELNoHT

Neapolis, Vilanova i la Geltru, Spain


 

PRESENTATION AND OBJECTIVES

 

The UPC at the Vilanova i la Geltru Campus and UPC- CIMNE at Castelldefels will host the ERCOFTAC international summer school on  Complex Environmental Turbulent Flows. This follows similar events organized in Vilanova, Madrid, Warsav, Prague, Volos and Barcelona since 1992. The main motivation for this 2016 Workshop and Summer School is to study in depth Turbulence in Non-Homogeneous, non-isotropic and non-stationary turbulence mostly affected by body forces, which is typical of Environmental Flows. Magnetic fields, Stratification and Rotation are fundamental processes affecting turbulence in industrial and environmental flows, for example to predict convective heat transport, pollutant diffusion and mixing. Reactions, Transporting Environmental Fluid Dynamics, direct and inverse cascades in turbulence at different scales will be discussed. The experimental part of the school and aseries of student presentations will be done at the ERCOFTAC PAN-EUROPEAN LABORATORY ON NON-HOMOGENEOUS TURBULENCE with a one day dedicated Laboratory and Harbour visit during the workshop/school.


MAIN TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE

3D and 2D Turbulence, Biophysical and Geophysical flows. Industrial, Oceanographic and Meteorological Applications.

Thermoelectric and Thermomagnetic Transport, Mixing and Dispersion, Propulsion. Pollution detection, control and prediction

Laboratory experiments in Industrial and Environmental flows, Bio-Physical Turbulence and complex flows, Open Foam simulations,…

Invited Lecturers(Organizers *) of the conference are:

P. Fraunié*, (MII, U.Toulon, France), H. Calmet (BSC, Barcelona, Spain)  L. Sorriso-Valvo  

(UPC, Manresa. EPSEVG, Vilanova, Spain), O.B. Mahjoub(UAE, Morroco), I. Sibgatullin*, M. Kurganski* (MSU, Obukhov Atm. I. Moscow,Russia), S. Strijhak (ISPRAS, Moscow, Russia). J.M. Sanchez  (BEROTZA, Pamplona, Spain). G. King (CSIC ICM).A. Carrillo ( U. Delaware, USA), V. Zeitlin* (ENS Paris), J. Tellez* (FLUMEN,UPC).

Participants, as well as scientists affiliated to the PELNoHT, ERCOFTAC related Special Interest Groups and to the XTDFTG international turbulence Network are invited to present their recent research in related topics. An Open Foam Turbulence Modelling 3 day course will also run on days 11-14 June

REGISTRATION

The cost forthe conference is 50 Euros. A reduced fee of 30 Euro is available for students and ERCOFTAC members. This will cover  Lecture Materials, coffee breaks and the course reception. A selection of papers presented at the conference will be published at one of ERCOFTAC Journals: such as the Journal of Flow, Turbulence and Combustion (Kluwer). ERCOFTAC grants for young post doctoral or research students will be also available.
