The aim of this Advanced Research Workshop was to bring together
Physicists, Applied Mathematicians and Fluid Dynamicists, including
very specially experimentalists, to review the available knowledge
on the global structural aspects of turbulent flows, with an
especial emphasis on open systems, and to try to reach a consensus
on their possible relationship to recent advances in the
understanding of the behaviour of low dimensional dynamical systems
and amplitude equations. A lot has been learned during recent years
on the non-equilibrium behaviour of low dimen sional dynamical
systems, including some fluid flows (Rayleigh-Benard,
Taylor-Couette, etc. ). These are mostly closed flows and many of
the global structural features of the low dimensional systems have
been observed in them, including chaotic behaviour, period
doubling, intermit tency, etc. . It has also been shown that some
of these flows are intrinsically low dimensional, which accounts
for much of the observed similarities. Open flows seem to be
different, and experimental observations point to an intrinsic high
dimensionality. However, some of the tran sitional features of the
low dimensional systems have been observed in them, specially in
the intermittent behaviour of subcritical flows (pipes, channels,
boundary layers with suction, etc. ), and in the large scale
geometry of coherent structures of free shear flows (mixing layers,
jets and wakes).
