Turbulent Mixing and Beyond Second International Conference and Advanced School

1. 27 July - 07 August 2009 The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy Turbulent Mixing and Beyond Second International Conference and Advanced School

2. Goals of the International Conference Turbulent Mixing and Beyond: • to expose the generic problem of • Non-equilibrium Turbulent Processes • 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 have a potential impact on technology.

3. TMB-2009 was organized to advance the state-of-the-art in understanding of fundamental physical properties of non-equilibrium turbulent processes have a conspicuously positive impact on their predictive modeling capabilities and physical description and, ultimately, on control of these complex processes. If the meeting leaves you with a feeling that you have learned something new from the research frontiers and have found like-minded colleagues – our work is done. Please, let us know what do you think: tmb@ictp.it, tmb@flash.uchicago.edu

7. We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of all our participants Success of the TMB-2009 consists from the successful work of all of us. Thank you for offering to the TMB-2009 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. Thank you for having the right attitude and productive motivation. It was a pleasure to work together.

8. Our very near future • TMB4U Award • Presentations: email to tmb@ictp.it, tmb@flash.uchicago.edu • Proceedings: Physica Scripta – all presentations, Topical Issue • Phil Trans Royal Society [from 2007] to appear soon • Book: to expose the field and maintain the scope, 2010z • Papers, deadline is Oct 2009 • email to tmb@flash.uchicago.edu in pdf format • Referees: all papers will be peer-reviewed, similarly to the abstracts we will ask for an advice the Scientific Advisory Committee • Accomplish the Action Items formulated at Round Tables

9. Round Tables I and II • Our strong sides: open, multi-disciplinary, focus on quality of research, international • Launch and maintain international collaboration • Identified several representative problems • “Decade of study” • Collaborative computing environment: sharing of data and methods of their analysis • Development of cyber-infrastructure to maintain the information flux encourage international collaboration integrate experimental, numerical, theoretical and data analysis descriptions • Data: to elaborate the quantitative criteria for quality & information capacity of data sets

10. Turbulent Mixing and Beyond International Conference We have a plan for a next conference, TMB-2011, to be held in summer 2011 • 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
