eCG meeting 1/2010 PDF
Sunday, 20 December 2009 17:49

An extended Core Group meeting was held in Les Houches (FR) on 25th and 26th of January 2010.

The COST Action MP0806 started on the 19th of May 2009 with the KO meeting at the COST Office Headquarters in Brussels. By the end of 2009 each working group had the chance to convene once and several discussions took place during and after these WG meetings. The extended CG meeting was the first opportunity to convene WG leaders and co-leaders along with all Action Core Group (CG) members and any WG participant willing to contribute to the discussion. The goal of the meeting was to make the point of where the Action is, how to improve communication between different working groups, which scheme was found to be the most effective in choosing WG meetings participants to invite etc.
The meeting was embedded into a conference on "High Rayleigh number convection" organized by F. Chilla (ENS-Lyon), D. Lohse (Twente), B. Castaing (ENS-Lyon). The meeting was over two days and included several informal discussions and exchange of ideas, also during breaks and lunch/dinner time.

Fluid turbulence is ubiquitous and so is its ability to transport particulate matter such as dust, soot or droplets. The dynamics of particles in a turbulent flow is fundamental to everyday life - examples of open scientific and technological issues include rain formation in clouds, pollution dispersion in the atmosphere, optimization and emission reduction in combustion, plankton population dynamics - and constitute a major scientific challenge with immediate practical implications and applications. Open scientific issues such as inertia, finite particles sizes, collisions, advection in complex flow geometries are examples of fundamental key ingredients which pose challenging theoretical problems and need to be understood in order to have an impact on applications. By joining forces within the experimental and numerical community of turbulence major breakthroughs can be achieved. The present COST action will create the needed platform for direct communication and interaction between participating laboratories and towards the wider scientific community alike.
