Scientific Programme

Following the structure of former editions of the ICTW, the conference will be organized as a series of selected keynote talks, oral and poster presentations, covering experimental, theoretical and computational investigations 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
