Summer School and Workshop on

Self-Organization in Turbulent Plasmas and Fluids

May 03 -14, 2010

Summer School: May 03 - 07, 2010

Workshop: May 10 - 14, 2010

Scientific Coordinators:
Frank Jenko (Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, Garching, Germany)
Rudolf Friedrich (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Münster, Germany)

Organisation:
Mandy Lochar (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)

Over the last several years, there have been major advances in the experimental observation and theoretical understanding of turbulent plasmas and fluids. This meeting will bring together theoreticians and experimentalists from three different fields, namely plasma turbulence, fluid turbulence, and dynamo physics. Some of the overarching themes will be pattern formation, coherent structures, and the dynamics of tracers in turbulent flows. The goal is to review our current understanding of turbulent plasmas and fluids, to exchange ideas between these research areas, as well as to foster collaborations.
