The European turbulence conference gathers every two years the community of scientists involved in the study of turbulence, from fundamental physics issues to applied fluid mechanics – usually over 450 participants. Eight outstanding contributors are the central invited speakers, and 4 sessions are run in parallel.

The first ETC meeting took place in 1986 at the Ecole Centrale, in Lyon. For the 14th edition and 25th anniversary of this very successful event, the Euromech Committee has again selected Lyon.

Host: ENS de Lyon

Scientific Committee: Konrad Bajer (U. Warsaw), Eberhard Bodenschatz (MPI Göttingen), Carlo Casciola (La Sapienza, Roma), Peter Davidson (U. Cambridge), Stephan Fauve (ENS de Paris), Yury Kachanov (Novosibirsk), Dan Henningson (KTH Stockholm), Detlef Lohse (U. Twente), Jean-François Pinton (CNRS – ENS de Lyon), Neil Sandham (U. Southampton).

Local Organization Committee: Jean-François Pinton (CNRS – ENS de Lyon), Mickael Bourgoin (CNRS – Université de Grenoble), Laurent Chevillard (ENS de Lyon), Fabien Godeferd (CNRS – EC Lyon), Nicolas Mordant (Université de Grenoble), Aurore Naso (CNRS – EC Lyon), Alain Pumir (CNRS – ENS de Lyon), Romain Volk (ENS de Lyon).

Dear Colleague

The Fifth International Symposium “Instabilities and Bifurcations in Fluid Mechanics” will be held on July 8-11, 2013 at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel. Traditional topics, detailed in the Scope of Symposium, are instabilities and bifurcations in shear, rotating and convective flows; experimental, theoretical and numerical methods for studying instabilities and bifurcations; bifurcations and instabilities in various technological applications. Attached please find the scope of the symposium.

More information is available on the symposium web site http://BIFD2013/technion.ac.il

We invite you to submit your original contribution and to attend this symposium. Abstracts of up to 500 words on any of the topics covered by the symposium should be submitted by January 15, 2013.

The abstracts should be sent to the symposium organizers by e-mail bifd2013(@)technion.ac.il . Should you prefer to schedule your talk with one of the special sessions listed below, please send your abstract directly to the session organizer/s with a copy to the symposium organizers at bifd2013(@)technion.ac.il and state your preference explicitly in the body of your email message.
