About:

Recent mathematical breakthroughs have advanced our understanding of how fluids mix advected quantities like passive dyes and active densities. These discoveries impact statistical turbulence laws, dissipation enhancement, hydrodynamic stability, and convection processes. This one-week workshop focused on rigorous mathematical findings, physical aspects of fluid mixing, and computational approaches, by bringing together several experts and future leaders in these fields.
