This four-week program will consist of presentations and seminars, as well as a couple of two-day workshops with external participants, but most of the time will actually be spent in discussions and impromptu presentations, setting up collaborations and/or working on existing ones, analysing our many existing turbulence data bases in situ and perhaps also running one or two collaborative experiments and measurement campaigns in our laboratory.

The turbulence building includes the Lille turbulent boundary layer wind tunnel and experimental facilities for planar jets and turbulent flows in a stirred tank. We have extensive PIV/PTV equipment and HWA capabilities. Our existing data base includes DNS data for periodic turbulence (including with exceptional resolution), turbulent planar jets and wakes, axisymmetric wakes, near-field grid-turbulence, turbulent channel flows and turbulent boundary layers. It also includes concurrent Stereo PIV and pressure fluctuation data for a flat plate TBL, well-resolved long streamwisee PIV fields also for a flat plate TBL, Stereo PIV plane data for an adverse pressure gradient TBL and PIV fields of turbulent jets and wakes.

The LTP is supported by a local organising committee chaired by J.C. Vassilicos and including C. Cuvier, J-.M. Foucaut & J.-P. Laval and an International Advisory Board which currently consists of Professors Jim Brasseur (Colorado, USA), Markus Hultmark (Princeton, USA), Joachim Peinke (Oldenburg, Germany) and Stavros Tavoularis (Ottawa, Canada).
