The purpose of the meeting is to bring together people working in

fluid dynamics and plasma physics on similar problems: turbulence,

the influence of coherent structures, anomalous transport. Special

emphasis will be devoted to discussions of:

i) Modelling of plasma and fluid turbulence: differences and

similarities.

ii) The influence of material boundaries on the development of

turbulent flows and how to model these boundaries in numerical

codes.

iii) Anomalous transport, the influence of coherent structures on

this transport, and intermittence in the transport.

iv) Generation of shear flows and the question of shear flows as a

transport barrier.

v) Comparison of numerical model solution with experiments.

In addition an overview of the present status of the fusion research

program will be presented.

The meeting will take an informal character and will encourage

discussions. The meeting is open for participants with background knowledge in

plasma and/or fluid dynamics and/or nonlinear dynamics in

general.

Please contact the organisers for further information and

registration. Funding is available for covering local expenses for a

limited number of students.
