Workshop on Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows
Workshop on
October 16-17, 2003, Princeton, NJ, USA
Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows
HOTEL AND TRAVEL INFORMATION Our motivation in organizing this workshop has been simply that, while wall-bounded flows present a wonderful array of problems in turbulence, we have lately been bogged down enough by some controversies that don't seem to have been resolved to everyone's satisfaction. We want us to move beyond them. Thus came the thought that some of us involved intimately with wall-bounded flows could come together for a discussion and introspection, without feeling compelled to score a point or being threatened by inconsiderate attacks. Our hope is that we can have enough time for each of us to convince others of what is right at the present level of understanding without feeling defensive. Among other things, if it requires that the data should to be plotted, during the course of our discussion, in a certain different way, we should be prepared to do that.
We expect nothing like a publication to come out of the meeting, but a shared sense of understanding to emerge, which we believe is very important for the community at large.
Organizers: Hassan Nagib, Alexander J. Smits, and Katepalli R. Sreenivasan
