Mesoscale patterns in turbulent convection with machine learning and quantum computing

TU Ilmenau Citizens' Campus. Topic: Speaker: Jörg Schumacher, TU Ilmenau, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Head of Fluid Mechanics Group Time: Friday, 02.06.2023, 15:00 hrs. Place: TU Ilmenau, Faraday Building, Weimarer Straße 32 Admission: 5 Euro Cloud street is the name given to the pattern that develops when cumulus clouds arrange themselves horizontally along the wind direction as if lined up. Granules and supergranules on the are also examples of such regular patterns in nature. The phenomenon that leads to such order in the apparent chaos of flows is what experts call turbulent convection processes. But where do regular patterns come from? What role do they play in heat transport in the flow? And what influence do they have on weather and climate? Prof. Jörg Schumacher, head of the Fluid Mechanics Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Ilmenau, deals with such questions. In his lecture at the TU Ilmenau Citizens' Campus, Prof. Schumacher explains in a generally understandable way such complex phenomena as mesoscale patterns in turbulent convection.
