Turbulence is a phenomenon that pervades most liquid, gas, and plasma flows in engineering and nature, ranging from high-speed engines, nuclear fusion power reactors, and spacecraft re-entry, to star formation in molecular clouds, and supernovae. Seventy years have passed since Kolmogorov's successful theory of incompressible turbulence, yet there remains a stark absence of an analogous framework to describe flows with significant compressibility effects, such as in the aforementioned systems.
This workshop's objective is to bring together researchers from astrophysics and engineering — two different communities who seldom interact, yet often deal with similar physical problems — and have them share the questions they are tackling and the tools they are using in the hope that the gathering will lead to a fruitful exchange between the two fields.
