Buoyancy plays a major role in the dynamics of atmosphere and interiors of planets and stars, as well as in engineering applications. This field has witnessed major advances in recent times in modeling, experiments, and numerical simulations.This program on modeling, experiments, and numerical aspects of buoyancy-driven flows will bring together researchers working in the areas of astrophysics, fluid turbulence, nonlinear physics, and condensed matter physics. The program is planned as a 4 day school followed by a 5 day discussion meeting.Beside courses of lectures, the school will also contain tutorials on numerical methods. There will be lectures in the discussion meeting on recent results by experts in the field. The aim of the discussions is to foster long-term collaborations among the participants. The topics of the discussion meeting include buoyancy-driven turbulence, Nusselt and Reynolds number scaling, flow reversals, atmospheric applications, rotating convection, etc.Topics of t...
