    Alexei Mailybaev (IMPA, Rio de Janeiro) Campus Ecovalley
    Prof. Alexei Mailybaev will be visiting from the Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA) in Rio de Janeiro. His current research interests tie to the mathematical physics of turbulent phenomena, in particular but not limited to spontaneous stochasticity, blow-ups and hidden symmetries.

    Summer school : 100 years of cascades
    • Research
    Campus Valrose
    This two-week summer school aims to provide a modern viewpoint on the concept of cascades, a key notion formalized by Lewis F. Richardson a century ago. Mornings will be devoted to minicourse delivered by lecturers from the mathematics and the physics community. In the afternoons, participants will be offered to work in small groups on original research projects supervised by guest and local researchers.

    Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics: Experiments and Models
    • Research
    Université Côte d'Azur and Observatoire Côte d'Azur are hosting a one-week conference on the topic of " Geophysical & Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics: Experiments and Models " (GAFDEM), from 11th to 15th September 2023 in Nice, France .GAFDEM aims at bringing together the international community studying the nonlinear dynamics of stratified, rapidly rotating, and possibly magnetized flows - whether applied to the modeling of oceans, planetary atmospheres or stellar plasmas. The conference will be the opportunity to discuss, in an informal setting, the latest experimental, theoretical and numerical progress toward understanding the fundamental mechanisms of instabilities, turbulence and transport in naturally occurring flows.

    Complex Particles in Turbulent Flows
    • Research
    Campus Valrose
    Understanding particle dynamics in turbulence is relevant to mixing, combustion, and environmental pollution. The study of transport by turbulent flows has benefited greatly from the development of new experimental, numerical, and theoretical Lagrangian techniques. These have made it possible to investigate the statistics of the velocity, the acceleration, and the dispersion of both tracer and inertial particles. While the early Lagrangian studies were mainly concerned with the motion of point particles, in recent years the study of particle dynamics in turbulent flows has extended in several new directions. The Colloquium aims at discussing the recent advances and the open questions in the area of complex particle dynamics in turbulent flows by gathering scientists from both the physics and engineering communities.
