PRESENTATION AND OBJECTIVES

The UPCat the Vilanova i la Geltru Campus and UPC- CIMNE at Castelldefels will host the  ERCOFTAC international summer school on   Bio-Environmental Turbulent Flows. This follows similar events organized in Vilanova, Madrid, Warsaw, Prague,Volos, Castelldefels and Barcelona since 1992. The main motivation for this2017 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 real complex and Environmental Flows. Thermal,Magnetic fields, Stratification and Rotation are fundamental processes afecting turbulence in medicine, biology industry and in the environment; for example to predict convective heat transport,pollutant diffusion and mixing. Reactions, Transport in Environmental Fluid Dynamics, direct and inverse cascades in turbulence at different scales will be discussed. The experimental part of the school and a series of student Workshop and Poster presentations will also take place at the ERCOFTAC PELNoHT, UPC,FLUMEN and CIMNE Laboratories with dedicated Laboratory visits during the workshop. ADVANCES IN TURBULENCE XXIII Workshop is focussed on the subject of Biological, Biophysical and Medical-Environmental and Sport applications. The complex scaling techniques are fundamental in real flows, in human studies, to predictdiffusion and mixing, in soil processes and percolation, in sediment transport,heat and mass transport, etc. The dynamics, direct and inverse (Energy,Vorticity and Helicity) cascades in turbulence at different scales will bediscussed as an activity of the ERCOFTAC PAN-EUROPEAN LABORATORY ON NON-HOMOGENEOUS TURBULENCE .
