The Centre is located in three large historical and monumental buildings on the top of an ancient town. For further details please check here: https://ceub.it/

As in the previous editions the peer reviewed proceedings will be published in the volume “Progress in Turbulence IX” by Springer.

List of iTi invited key-note speakers:
P. Henrik Alfredsson (KTH, Sweden)
Bérengère Dubrulle (CNRS, France)
Massimo Germano (Duke University, USA)
Clara Marika Velte (DTU, Denmark)

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE – 10/January/2020

The congress is organized in thematic sessions, one of them being Flow Instability and Transition (FM08).
We expect this will be the leading meeting on this topic in 2020.

This Thematic Section has the following confirmed invited speakers:

Denis Sipp – ONERA – France
Ardeshir Hanif – KTH – Sweden
Dwight Barkley – University of Warwick- UK
Björn Hof –  IST – Austria

Examples of topics that would be of interest are:

– Novel experimental and numerical approaches to studies of instability and transition,
