[iTi 2025] 2nd announcement of the iTi Conference on Turbulence XI

iTi Conference on Turbulence XI is to be held in Bertinoro, Italy, July 27-30, 2025. The iTi (interdisciplinary Turbulence initiative) is a series of conferences dedicated to exploring both fundamental and applied aspects of turbulence research. Therefore, both engineers and physicists working in the field of turbulence are invited to join us.

The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including fundamentals, modeling, simulations (DNS and LES), mathematical methods, coherent structures/vortices, scaling laws and intermittency, large Reynolds number flow experiments, convection, polymers and scalars, scalar mixing and particles, turbulent boundary layers, atmospheric flows, and MHD.

This year, the iTi conference will be combined with a one-day workshop organized by Gabriele Bellani (Università di Bologna) and Gioacchino Cafiero (Politecnico di Torino) entitled "Structure and control of wall-bounded turbulent flows" held on July 27, 2025. The aim of the workshop is to foster discussions on the latest advances and solutions for the control of turbulent boundary layers. In the spirit of iTi, the workshop promotes an interdisciplinary view of the problem including theoretical, experimental and numerical approaches. Two international keynote speakers, Marios Kotsonis (TU Delft, NL) and Peter Schmid (KAUST, Saudi Arabia) will give an overview of the current challenges and the most promising tools for the control of wall-bounded flows. Workshop attendance is optional and must be specified upon registration. Contributions to this workshop will be part of the iTi conference proceedings.

Once again, iTi will take place in one of Europe’s most beautiful conference venues: the University Centre of Bertinoro in Bertinoro, Italy. This stunning center is located atop an ancient town in three large historical and monumental buildings. You can view a video showcasing the wonderful atmosphere of the castle here.

Dates and deadlines

Abstract submission:                                                 February, 2nd 2025

Response/accepting the contribution:                   March, 2nd 2025

Early registration for Workshop/Conference:       May, 4th 2025

Late registration for Workshop/Conference:        July, 27th 2025

Essential information is already available on the conference website. While the LaTeX and Word templates for the preparation of the abstracts are already available, further information for the conference proceedings will be made available very soon. In this regard, we would like to announce that we decided – after 20 years and 10 volumes of Progress in Turbulence – to switch from Springer to IOP for our conference proceedings, due to wishes of many participants to offer open access for all contributions and a timelier publication schedule.
