NCAR's Turbulence Numerics Team -- TNT
Turbulence refers to the complex behavior of fluid flow that happens at many different scales and in many different physical systems. One practical hallmark of turbulence is that small-scale motion can organize into larger scale features, such as eddies or vortices, and affect the flow at much larger scales. The Turbulence Numerics Team (TNT) is complementary to the Geophysical Turbulence Program (GTP) and is focused on the accurate simulation and understanding of turbulence for fluids, such as the atmosphere and for charged flows in the presence of magnetic fields. TNT research emphasizes simplified physical systems that still reproduce the complexity and multi-scale properties associated with turbulent flow. TNT is administratively housed in the Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences (IMAGe) of NCAR at the Center Green Lab in beautiful Boulder, CO.
Geophysical Turbulence ProgramThe Geophysical Turbulence Program (GTP) is a formal but loosely organized NCAR-wide activity to promote research, education, and awareness of geophysical turbulence at NCAR and in the scientific community. Besides a regular seminar series, GTP sponsors a summer workshop on a specific topic with this year being "Coherent structures in atmosphere and ocean." NEW - The GTP summer workshop for 2006 entitled "Modeling Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Application to planetary and stellar dynamos" will be held at the Mesa Laboratory's Main Seminar Room 27-30 June 2006.
