Workshop/Summer school

Vortices and vortex sheets: theories, numerics and applications


4-10 June 2007
Centre IGESA, Island of Porquerolles, Hyeres, France

Objectives

Vortices and vortex sheets are fundamental constitutive elements of large Reynolds number flows. They are present on the smallest scales of turbulence as well as on large scale in the form of coherent structures. They have their own dynamics and are extremely receptive to external forcing. They are also subject to complex interactions which may lead to their recombination (vortex merging) or disappearance (vortex breakdown or bursting). 
The objective of this summer school is to provide a comprehensive overview of the different physical mecanisms involved in the stability and dynamics of vortices and vortex sheets, to introduce the numerical tools and theoretical methods used to describe their evolution, to discuss some applications in the aeronautical context.
