                Turbulent Mixing and Beyond

Launched in 2007 with the support of colleagues, international scientific community, national and international funding agencies, the program ‘Turbulent Mixing and Beyond’ is focused on studies of non-equilibrium, multi-scale and statistically unsteady turbulent processes in natural and artificial systems via the use of advanced theoretical analysis methods, rigorous mathematical approaches, cutting-edge experiments, high technologies, state-of-the-art numerical simulations, and massive computations. Exploration of these processes may have a transformative impact on our knowledge of a broad range of physical phenomena, from astrophysical to atomistic scales, under high and low energy density conditions, on fundamental principles of mathematical modeling of the dynamics of continuous media, and on technology development in fusion, nano-electronics, aeronautics and telecommunications. As of Dec 2010, www.google.com returns about 150,000 results for ‘turbulent mixing and beyond.’
To date TMB community unites about 800+ researchers from five continents including scientists from academia, national laboratories, corporations and industry, at experienced and early stages of their carrier. This newly emerged, essentially multi-disciplinary and international community demonstrates a strong potential for innovative research and for advancements in a broad variety of fields in science, mathematics and technology.

International Conference 'Turbulent Mixing and Beyond' is organized to expose generic problem of Non-Equilibrium Turbulent Processes to a wide scientific community, to promote the development of new ideas in tackling the fundamental aspects of the problem, to assist in application of novel approaches in a broad range of phenomena, where these processes occur, and to have an impact on technology.

First International Conference 'Turbulent Mixing and Beyond' was held on 18 – 26 August 2007 at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics.
Proceedings of TMB-2007 (120 presenters) can be found in the Book of Abstracts (150 contributions of 300 authors) and Topical Issue T132 of Physica Scripta (2008) (2 editorial and 57 research papers)

Second International Conference and Advanced School 'Turbulent Mixing and Beyond' was held on 27 July – 07 August 2008 at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics, and was hosted by the ICTP as regular activity
.
Proceedings of TMB-2009 (over 180 presenters) can be found in the Book of Abstracts (194 contributions of 385 authors) and in the Topical Issue T142 of Physica Scripta (2010) (3 editorial and 70 research papers), including 'Outline of Round Table Discussions' held at TMB-2009 and 'Summary of Papers'.

The first review issue of the Turbulent Mixing and Beyond phenomena was published in the 
Theme Issue 1916 of the Philosophical Transactions of Royal Society A, Volume 368 (2010).
The second review issue is being in preparation.
