Founding scientific programs
Program ‘Turbulent Mixing and Beyond’
We
– My colleagues and I – founded the scientific program ‘Turbulent Mixing and
Beyond’ (TMB) to bring together researchers from different areas of science,
engineering and mathematics and to focus their attention on the fundamental
problem of non-equilibrium
dynamics, interfacial mixing, and turbulent mixing. TMB
program has been founded in 2007 with the support of international scientific
community, the US and international funding agencies and institutions. The goals of the TMB program are in the development of new ideas for understanding
the fundamentals of turbulent mixing, in the applications of novel approaches
for description of a broad range of phenomena where these processes occur, and
in the potential impact on technology. The TMB program spans a broad range of
research areas in science, mathematics and engineering. To date, the TMB
community unites over 6000 researchers worldwide including scientists from
academia, national laboratories, corporations and industry, at experienced and
early stages of their carrier working. Google.com returns ~7,000,000 results for ‘turbulent mixing and beyond’
program.
