The Provost Lecture Series 18

Date

Location

Sydney Brenner Lecture Theater B250

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.
