Title: Turbulent Mixing and Beyond
1- Turbulent Mixing and Beyond
- International Conference
18- 26 August 2007 The Abdus Salam International
Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy
summary and perspectives
2What were the Conference objectives?
- to expose the generic problem of
- Turbulence and Turbulent Mixing in Unsteady
Flows - to a wide scientific community
- to promote the development of new ideas in
tackling - the fundamental aspects of the problem
- to assist in application of novel approaches in
a - broad range of phenomena,
- where the turbulent processes occur
- to start bridging the gap between the
- fundamental research and technology
If the meeting leaves you with a feeling that
you have learned something new from the research
frontiers and have met like-minded colleagues
our work is done.
Please, let us know what do you think

6We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of all
our participants
Success of the TMBW consists from the successful
work of all of us. Thank you for offering to the
TMBW your best research results and ideas. Thank
you for the highlightening the strongest parts of
your contributions. Thank you for being serious,
responsible and respectful. It was a real
pleasure to work together.
7Our very near future
- Presentations email to tmbw07_at_ictp.it in pdf
format -
- Proceedings Proc Royal Society only 10 papers
(to expose the field and maintain the scope),
Special Issue - Physica Scripta all
presentations, Topical Issue - Papers of letter size, no more than 8-10 pages,
deadline is 22 Oct 2007 - email to tmbw07_at_ictp.it in pdf format
- Referees all papers will be peer-reviewed,
similarly to the abstracts - we will ask for an advice the
Scientific Advisory Committee -
- Information flux
- - maintaining the web-page for exchange of
information and collaboration - development of an e-infrastructure to encourage
interactions within - our research community
- - links to Wikipedia for connections and problem
exposition
8Turbulent Mixing and Beyond International
Conference
We have a plan for a next conference,
TMBW-09, to be held at the ICTP, in June 2009
- Mission and Goals
- to maintain the wide scope
- to focus on hard and fundamental problems
- to strengthen and maintain the quality of
research, - using rigorous approaches
- to be a highly informative meeting
