Objectives
Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection is currently a very active research topic that has applications in astrophysics and geophysics such as the internal dynamics of stars and planets, as well as in engineering such as heat transfer in nuclear reactors.
The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum to discuss the recent developments in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection research, and strengthen the collaborations among researchers working in the related fields.
