TMB Workshop 'Mixing in Rapidly Changing Environments - Probing Nature at the Extremes', August 4-10, 2014

该奖项支持研讨会名为《在快速变化的环境中融入--探索世界的自然》。该研讨会是“湍流混合与超越”(TMB)计划的一部分。研讨会的重点是在高能量密度和急剧变化的流场的极端条件下，流体、等离子体和材料中的界面和湍流混合，以及它们在自然和技术中的应用，从天体物理到原子尺度。研讨会将包括流体和等离子体中流体动力学不稳定性的主要专家的特邀讲座、来稿演讲和海报。研讨会的跨学科和国际计划将为促进研究前沿、发展富有成效的合作以及利用研究生和专业教育计划中的社区经验提供基础设施。TMB研讨会“快速变化环境中的混合”(TMBW-2014)的目标问题包括瑞利-泰勒不稳定性和界面和湍流混合、主动和被动标量混合、相边界的演变、流体、等离子体和材料中的非正则湍流和对流，以及它们在聚变、天体物理学、反应流、空气动力学和材料科学中的应用。TMBW-2014将提供机会将来自流体动力学、等离子体、天体物理、材料科学、非线性物理和应用数学领域的年轻研究人员和经验丰富的科学家聚集在一起。TMBW-2014将有助于增进对流体动力不稳定性和混合的基本方面的了解，并可能对预测建模能力、物理描述以及最终对这些复杂过程的控制产生影响。

The award supports the Workshop 'Mixing in Rapidly Changing Environments - Probing Nature at the Extremes.' The Workshop is a part of the program 'Turbulent Mixing and Beyond' (TMB). The Workshop is focused on interfacial and turbulent mixing in fluids, plasmas and materials under extreme conditions of high energy density and sharply changing flow fields, and on their applications in nature and technology, from astrophysical to atomistic scales. The workshop will consist of invited lectures by leading experts on hydrodynamic instabilities in fluids and plasmas, contributed talks and posters. The inter-disciplinary and international program of the Workshop will provide an infrastructure for promoting research frontiers, for developing productive collaborations, and for leveraging the community experience in educational programs for graduate and professional education. The results of the workshop will be published.The target problems of the TMB Workshop 'Mixing in Rapidly Changing Environments' (TMBW- 2014) include Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities and interfacial and turbulent mixing, active and passive scalar mixing, the evolution of phase boundaries, and non-canonical turbulence and convection in fluids, plasmas and materials, and their applications in fusion, astrophysics, reactive flows, aerodynamics and material science. TMBW-2014 will provide the opportunity to bring together young researchers and seasoned scientists from the areas of fluid dynamics, plasmas, astrophysics, material science, nonlinear physics, and applied mathematics. TMBW-2014 will serve to advance knowledge of fundamental aspects of hydrodynamic instabilities and mixing, and will potentially have an impact on predictive modeling capabilities, physical description and, ultimately, control of these complex processes.
