Bounds on Turbulent Transport

Abstract

The subject of "Bounds on Turbulent Transport" was introduced in a series of ten lectures. The six lecturers constitute almost all of the contributors to this subject. The subject was introduced and foundations were laid by five lectures by F. H. Busse. In the middle of the first week, L. Howard reviewed his historical first approach to this subject and described more recent advances. Additional lectures by P. Constantine, R. Kerswell, C. Caulfield and C. Doering provided modern advances. We trust that the lecture notes will constitute a timely review of this promising subject. The following weeks had many highlights with approximately 40 additional lectures. The mini symposium on rotating convection in early July included presentations of experimental, ocean, atmospheric, and planetary observations. During the rest of the program, participants and visitors who have studied turbulence, convection, and instability in numerous geophysical situations with application to the ocean, the earth's atmosphere and planetary circulation made numerous contributions.
