About
We are pleased to announce the KAUST Turbulence Workshop, titled "Outstanding Challenges in Wall Turbulence and Lessons to Be Learned from Pipes."
This workshop represents a platform dedicated to discussing the complexities of wall turbulence, a pivotal topic in fluid mechanics with significant implications across various engineering and scientific disciplines. The focus on wall turbulence, particularly insights gleaned from pipe flow studies, underscores the workshop's alignment with some of the most pressing and arising challenges in this discipline.
Our objective is to create a vibrant forum where researchers, practitioners, and experts can converge to share new research, innovative methodologies, and practical experiences. The workshop will feature a blend of numerical explorations, experimental efforts, and theoretical studies, highlighting the latest advancements in understanding and manipulating turbulent flows near boundaries.
Key topics will include the dynamics of turbulent boundary layers, the role of wall turbulence in applications, advancements in computational and experimental techniques, the implication of scaling laws, and lessons that can be drawn from pipe flow studies. This event is a great opportunity for attendees to engage with the forefront of turbulence research, exchange ideas, and forge collaborative relationships.
All workshop sessions will be broadcast by Zoom, with up to 50 already registered remote participants encouraged to engage in discussions via the chat forum, which will be moderated. Presentations and discussions will be recorded and subsequently reviewed before publication on a workshop website accessible from inside and outside KAUST.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the KAUST Turbulence Workshop, we extend a warm invitation to all participants. We are committed to providing an enriching environment that fosters learning, scholarship, and a deeper understanding of wall turbulence. We look forward to welcoming you to an event filled with insightful discussions and lasting connections.
Peter Schmid and Sigurdur Thoroddsen, Workshop Chairs.
