Chairing Turbulence Theory at APS Division of Fluid Dynamics – Highlight of the year

All our presenters were present and traveled internationally. DNS is the tool of choice for numerical simulations. Theory emerged from results, and I hope that new relations will guide those making turbulence models today.
