Agenda

Agenda

This conference is devoted to turbulence and other systems far from equilibrium. The goal is to bring together
mathematicians and physicists, both theorists and experimentalists, to discuss the present state and
perspectives of unifying approaches to non-equilibrium systems. Particular subjects will include general
turbulence theory, singularity formation in fluids, mixing, inertial particles in turbulence and others.

REGISTRATION FOR THE MEALS IS REQUIRED. (Speakers do not need to register.)

REGISTRATION FOR THE CONFERENCE IS REQUIRED. (Speakers do not need to register.)

Although there is no registration fee, because SEATING IS LIMITED BOTH IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM
AND IN OUR DINING HALL, you are required to register if you wish to attend all or part of the conference.
In addition, in order for our chef to prepare enough food, we need to have a headcount for the meals.

Please note that conference attendees are expected to pay for their lunch. Approximate range of prices
are $4.00 for a salad to $9.00 for an entree. Vegetarian lunches will be available.
