| Description: |
The behavior of turbulence at high Reynolds number is interesting from a fundamental point of view, in that most theories of turbulence make
very specific predictions in the limit of infinite Reynolds number. From a more practical point of view, there exist many applications that
involve turbulent flow where the Reynolds numbers are extremely large. For example, large vehicles such as submarines and commercial
transports operate at Reynolds numbers based on length of the order of 109, and industrial pipe flows cover a very wide range of Reynolds
numbers up to 107. Many very important applications of high Reynolds number flow pertain to atmospheric and other geophysical flows where
extremely high Reynolds numbers are the rule rather than the exception. on atmospheric flows, and the understanding of climate changes and the
prediction of destructive weather effects hinges to some extent on our appreciation of high-Reynolds number turbulence behavior.
This important effects of Reynolds number on turbulence has received a great deal of recent attention. The objective of the Symposium is to
bring together many of the world's experts in this area to appraise the new experimental results, discuss new scaling laws and turbulence
models, and to enhance our mutual understanding of turbulence.
Papers are solicited in the following areas:
Important Dates:
There will be no parallel sessions and thus competition for oral presentations
will be acute. Papers not accepted for oral presentation will have the
opportunity for presentation as posters. Both oral and poster papers will be
invited for peer review for inclusion in the proceedings that will be
published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
