Description
Date: Wednesday, April 16, 2025
Speaker: Professor Marco Edoardo Rosti, Complex fluids and flows Unit
Title: Studying the multiscale nature of multiphase turbulence
Abstract:
Turbulent flows are ubiquitous in nature and industrial applications, but notoriously difficult to predict, owing to the non-linear and multiscale dynamics at play. The situation is further complicated when considering multiphase flows, where turbulent fluctuations can profoundly affect the dynamics of the dispersed phase, which in turn, can modulate the turbulent flow in complex and sometimes unpredictable ways. In the talk, I will discuss how we are advancing our understanding of multiphase turbulence.
Chair: Professor Pinaki Chakraborty, Fluid Mechanics Unit
Venue: Sydney Brenner Lecture Theater B250
Time:
15:00-16:00: Introduction, Lecture and Q&A
16:00-16:30: Teatime
The Provost Lecture Series will provide an opportunity to celebrate milestones in the careers of OIST faculty members. It will recognize newly promoted professors and those who have received prestigious awards. It will highlight faculty achievements and create a space for retiring professors to talk about their research accomplishments and lessons learned over the course of their career. It is a way to celebrate OIST faculty, introduce them to the broader OIST community, acknowledge their research successes, share about their teaching and mentorship of students, and honor their service to the university.
