Report on the Program 'Fluid-mediated particle transport in geophysical flows' at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, UC Santa Barbara, September 23 to December 12, 2013

摘要

The Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics (KITP) program held at UC Santa Barbara in the fall of 2013 addressed the dynamics of dispersed particulate flows in the environment. By focusing on the prototypes of aeolian transport and turbidity currents, it aimed to establish the current state of our understanding of such two-phase flows, to identify key open questions, and to develop collaborative research strategies for addressing these questions. Here, we provide a brief summary of the program outcome. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
