2nd US-Japan Workshop on Data-Driven Fluid Dynamics

Dates: November 9-11, 2020 (postponed)
Location: Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel, Kobe, Japan

This workshop has been postponed.

Due to COVID-19, this workshop has been postponed until further notice. Once the situlation is clear, we will reschedule this meeting and be in touch with the attendees. Thank you for your understanding.

Over the past two decades, the fluid dynamics community has enjoyed the advancement in computational, experimental, and theoretical techniques to analyze a variety of fluid flows. Developments in computational and experimental hardware, numerical algorithms, and unsteady measurement techniques have enabled not only detailed analysis of flow physics but also initiated cross-talks amongst the various disciplines of fluid mechanics. With these powerful toolsets now available, the fluid dynamics community has started to examine complex flows with high levels of unsteadiness, nonlinearity, and multi-scale dynamics. However, there still exist limitations on how modern analysis techniques can be applied to specific fluid dynamics problems. Theoretical and computational approaches are often limited to relatively simple flows at low Reynolds numbers, while practical applications require extension to more complex unsteady and turbulent flows. Extending the current state of the art in flow analysis to higher Reynolds number flows requires tackling high-dimensional physics and the associated big-data from numerical simulations or experimental measurements. Some of the recent innovations in data science may hold the key to address these issues. The aim of this workshop is to gather fluid dynamics and data science experts from their respective areas and discuss their ongoing progress and challenges in emerging analysis techniques, including data science, computational & theoretical fluid dynamics, and advanced experimental diagnostic methods, that can be shared with others to facilitate breakthroughs as a community. This event will stimulate discussions and collaborations between members of the research communities to identify key areas that can make the largest impact and to offer a vehicle to further strengthen research collaborations across the Pacific. Following the success of the first "US-Japan Workshop on Bridging Data Science and Fluid Mechanics," we are holding the second workshop now entitled "US-Japan Workshop on Data-Driven Fluid Dynamics."

Target Areas

Data-inspired techniques for fluid dynamics, including but not limited to data-driven analysis, modeling, estimation, and control of fluid flows.
