Description:
Enhanced mixing and transport properties are
distinguishing characteristics of both turbulent and more
structured
complex flows. The concepts of eddy diffusion and eddy
viscosity, for
example, were introduced as attempts to “parameterize” these
effects
to produce reduced models for theoretical analysis and
simulations. At
the same time turbulent mixing and transport is the focus of
significant
attention from a fundamental point of view, based in some cases
on the
Navier-Stokes equations and in other cases on models or special
flows
amenable to more thorough analytical investigations. This
workshop is
concerned with modern mathematical approaches to the study of
transport
and mixing in turbulence and other complex flows, including
transitional
flows with significant attention to applications from the
applied
sciences, predominantly geophysics.
