Scientific Programme

The conference will be held at Durham University from 08:30 on Monday, 14 July 2025, to 17:00 on Wednesday, 16 July 2025. Accommodation at Grey College can be booked for Sunday night if needed. Following the format of previous ICTW editions, the conference will feature a series of keynote talks, oral presentations, and poster sessions, covering experimental, theoretical, and computational research on hydrodynamic instabilities. The scope of the conference will include (among other topics):

• Couette-Taylor flows
• Rayleigh-Bénard instabilities (thermal buoyancy, binary mixtures, etc.)
• Rayleigh-Taylor and Dean instabilities
• Instabilities in wall-bounded shear and boundary layer flows
• Stratified flows
• Swirling flows
• Transition to turbulence
• Coherent flow structures
• Atmospheric, geophysical, and astrophysical flows
• MHD flows
• Biologically active flows
• Non-Newtonian flows
