Latest News

With the last iTi we said goodbye to Joachim Peinke as part of the iTi organizing committee and in recognition of his great achievements and as an organizer and source of ideas for the conference. We wish Joachim all the best and hope that he will continue to attend the next iTi conferences in Bertinoro as a participant.

We are pleased to announce that Michael Wilczek from Uni Bayreuth will be part of the Organizing Committee starting from this iTi conference. Welcome Michael!

General Information

The iTi (interdisciplinary Turbulence initiative) is a series of conferences on turbulence research and organized in order to focus on different aspects of both fundamental and applied nature. It started in Bad Zwischenahn / Germany in 2003 and after two meetings there, it continued to be held in Bertinoro / Italy since then. In 2025 iTi will take place for the 11th time.

Engineers, physicists and mathematicians working in the field of turbulence are invited to join the conference. Topics comprise themes such as: Fundamentals, Modelling, Simulations (DNS and LES), Mathematical Methods, Coherent/vortical structures, Scaling Laws and Intermittency, Large Re flows experiments, Convection, Polymers and Scalars, Scalar Mixing and Particles, Turbulent Boundary Layers, Atmospheric flows and MHD to name only a few.

This year, the iTi conference will be combined with a one-day workshop organized by Gabriele Bellani (Università di Bologna) and Gioacchino Cafiero (Politecnico di Torino) entitled “Structure and control of wall-bounded turbulent flows” held on July 27, 2025. The aim of the workshop is to foster discussions on the latest advances and solutions for the control of turbulent boundary layers. In the spirit of iTi, the workshop promotes an interdisciplinary view of the problem including theoretical, experimental and numerical approaches. Two international keynote speakers will give an overview of the current challenges and the most promising tools for the control of wall-bounded flows. Workshop attendance is optional and must be specified upon registration. Contributions to this workshop will be part of the iTi conference proceedings.
