Waves are ubiquitous in natural fluid systems like the Earth's ocean, planetary atmosphere, and the interior of stars and planets. Stratification (owing to spatial variations of temperature, salinity, gravity or magnetic field) and/or Coriolis effects (owing to the rotation of planets & stars) represent key physical ingredients of wave generation, propagation and dissipation in many of these large-scale systems. Together with the significant amounts of energy input into them, the ability of waves to transport energy and momentum (and maybe mass too) through large spatial extents has significant implications for (i) global flow features like oceanic or atmospheric circulation, mean temperature distribution in planets/stars etc., (ii) the overall energy budget, and (iii) biological activity in the ocean. Furthermore, it is now widely recognized that wave dissipation mechanisms (and the resulting generation of heat and mixing) have to be accurately parameterized in global scale numerical ...

This is a (hybrid) satellite meeting held at ICTS, Bangalore in parallel with the American Physical Society (APS) March meeting, in collaboration with APS during March, 14-18, 2022. The satellite meeting aims to gather the diverse condensed matter community in Bangalore working under the following sub-areas :Biophysics at the macroscaleBiophysics at the nanoscaleComputational materials design from first principlesEmerging trends in soft and granular matterNon-equilibrium many-body systemsStrongly Correlated systems : ExperimentsStrongly correlated systems : Theory The aim of this meeting is two folds :Allow the large condensed matter community in Bangalore to interact with local groups - an aspect that was somewhat hindered in the past couple of years due to the pandemic. This will include a set of short talks by various groups working in the above focus areas.​In collaboration with APS, allow access to the the researchers in Bangalore to the live streaming of the talks of the APS marc...

The study of hydrodynamic turbulence and turbulent transport has received considerable impulse from the development of experimental, theoretical, and numerical Lagrangian techniques. Allied to this development is the increasing recognition that many aspects and implications of such studies have consequences well beyond classical turbulence.  In this context, we propose a short, focused discussion meeting on recent trends at the interface of statistical physics, fluid dynamics and soft matter which deal with Lagrangian problems of particles with internal degrees of freedom as well as active and smart particles in a non-trivial fluid environment.  The advances made in the last few years suggest that the interplay between particle and flow dynamics can lead to several intriguing phenomena, some of which have a direct bearing on biophysics.In particular, the main focus of the meeting is on the following themes:          1. Particles with Internal Degrees of Freedom;          2. Non-Spheric...

The workshop is being planned as the first of several meetings to strengthen and help grow the climate sciences effort in India. Senior researchers (including faculty at universities and scientists) as well as post-doctoral fellows and PhD students are encouraged to apply. The workshop will also be suitable for people relatively new to this area of research. An important component of the Workshop will be the Infosys-ICTS Turing Lectures which will be delivered by Prof. J. Srinivasan, Distinguished Scientist, Divecha Centre for Climate Change and Honorary Professor, Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, which will give some basic background and provide exposure to the current state of the art in the field.The workshop is being planned to leave lots of time for informal discussion and some hands-on exposure to aspects of modelling. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend in person to fully benefit from the meeting. Preference will be ...
