Task 1: COORDINATION

The project will be coordinated by partner LPO.

The whole consortium will meet once a year; additionally, working groups on specific aspects of the project will hold regular telephone and web conferences. Right at the start of the project, a website will be created by the coordinator in collaboration with group leaders of other Partners to disseminate information to the participants and the public.

Task 3: TURBULENCE

The overarching goal of this task is to explore the highest turbulent regimes that are presently accessible from different perspectives

Task 2: LAYERING

Most of instability mechanisms for layering have been studied for idealized base states flows, and have not considered the specific geometry of a lens-shaped vortex. It thus appears timely to study which instability predominates on a lens-shaped vortex base state, and under which conditions layering will spontaneously appear: this the goal of the present task.
