PRESENTATION AND OBJECTIVES

The UPC at the Vilanova i la Geltru Campus and UPC- CIMNE at Castelldefels will host the ERCOFTAC international summer school on Complex Environmental Turbulent Flows. This follows similar events organized in Vilanova, Madrid, Warsav, Prague, Volos and Barcelona since 1992. The main motivation for this 2015 Summer School is to study in depth Transport and diffusion in non-homogeneous, non-isotropic and non-stationary turbulence mostly affected by body forces, which is typical of Environmental Flows. Magnetic fields, Stratification and Rotation are fundamental processes afecting turbulence in industrial and environmental flows, for example to predict convective heat transport, pollutant diffusion and mixing. Reactions, solute transport in Environmental Fuid Dynamics, direct and inverse cascades in turbulence at different scales will be discussed with related topics. The experimental part of the summer school and a series of student presentations will be done at the ERCOFTAC PAN-EUROPEAN LABORATORY ON NON-HOMOGENEOUS TURBULENCE with a one day dedicated Workshop during the summer school.

MAIN TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE

3D and 2D Turbulence, Astrophysical and Geophysical flows. Oceanographic and Meteorological Applications.

Thermoelectric and Thermomagnetic transport, Mixing and Dispersion in the Environment. Pollution detection, control and prediction

Laboratory experiments in Industrial and Environmental flows…
