Scientific programme

The ICTW2025 conference will take place at Durham University from 08:30 on Monday, 14 July 2025 to 18:00 on Wednesday, 16 July 2025. Following the tradition of previous ICTW editions, the programme will include invited talks (30 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q&A), regular oral presentations (15 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q&A), lightning talks (3 minutes each), and a poster session. Presentations will span experimental, theoretical, and computational research on Couette–Taylor flow and its diverse applications in the natural sciences and industry. The conference will be held in the Chemistry Building at the Lower Mountjoy campus of Durham University.

The registration desk will be located in the atrium (ATR) of the Chemistry Building. The main lecture theatre for the conference is the Scarborough Lecture Theatre (CG93) on the ground floor, where all official ceremonies, invited talks, and lightning talks will take place. Regular oral presentations will run in two parallel sessions: one in CG93, and the other in the neighbouring Arthur Holmes Lecture Theatre (CG91). A flat seminar room, CG83, can be used for practising talks and informal meetings by the participants on 14-15 July. The poster session, along with coffee breaks and lunches, will be held in the Chemistry Café (CHC), also on the ground floor of the Chemistry Building.

The interactive programme below allows you to search presentations and abstracts by author, title, affiliation, and session. All participants will receive a printed copy of the programme upon registration. The book of abstracts is available in digital format only via the ICTW2025 webpage.
