Fundamental theoretical and experimental research in fluid mechanics, mainly internal aerodynamics, transitional and turbulent shear flows, and computational fluid dynamics; some aspects of external and environmental aerodynamics including modelling of atmospheric flows, dispersion and environmental and wind engineering problems and processes in Atmospheric Boundary Layer.
The aim of the summer school is to present a comprehensive series of lectures on various aspects of problems involving particles in flows. It is organized as a multidisciplinary event with topics ranging from theoretical and numerical mathematics up to physics and applications. The emphasize will be on models related to topics originating in environmental, biomedical and industrial applications. The summer course is prepared for graduate students, young scientists, and other interested specialists. »»»
DATE CHANGED! The lecture will consist of two parts: 1) Thermo-economical analysis of supercritical coal-fired power unit (will be presented by Prof. W. Elsner); 2) Numerical modelling of CO2 absorption and desorption in CCS installation (will be delivered by Prof. S. Drobniak). »»»
The purpose of the Colloquium is to bring together experts on theoretical and experimental fluid mechanics from academic institutions, universities and other research and development establishments and to offer them the opportunity to exchange and update information on their problems. The Colloqium serves as a scientific forum and will be held in the Institute of Thermomechanics AS CR. »»»

Dr. Radka Kellnerová was awarded the prize for best young authors' presentation at the PHYSMOD 2011 conference held in Hamburg on August 22-24, 2011 for her paper entitled Proper orthogonal decomposition of velocity and vorticity field within the street canyon and wavelet analysis of the expansion coefficients.
Turbulence will be introduced as the typical state of real flowing viscous fluids (historical overview). Attributes of turbulence will be presented (diffusivity, deterministic chaos, fractal structure…). A mathematical model will be introduced and its basic properties will be shown including the Kolmogorov theory. Then a few phenomenological aspects will demonstrate the typical features of the phenomenon (stability, complexity…).

Dr. Hiromasa Nakayama is a researcher in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Ibaraki, Japan.
Abstract: There is a potential problem that hazardous and flammable materials are accidentally or intentionally released into the atmosphere, either within or close to populated urban areas. For the assessment of human health hazard from toxic substances, the existence of high concentration peaks in a plume should be considered. »»»
The highly accurate simulation of turbulent rotating flows within cavity is of interest for both engineering applications, such as designing rotational machinery, and fundamental research, as one of the simplest cases where the turbulent boundary layers are three-dimensional. Attempting to compute these flows using statistical approaches has had only partial success. »»»
