Turbulence and Statistical Mechanics
Statistical mechanics tools led to considerable advances in the study of turbulent flows. The complexity of real turbulent flows stimulated new problems in statistical physics. The goal of this meeting is to explore the most recent questions at the interface between these two fields.
-Statistical field theories, symmetries, and invariant measures
-Statistics of the large scales of turbulence
-Fluctuations in transport processes
-Quantum turbulence, wave turbulence, and thermalization
