Institut de M@anique Statistique de la Turbulence UMR CNRS/Universit~de la M(~diterran@ Objectives
This IUTAM (international union of theoretical and applied mechanics) Symposium will focus specifically on the structure of low speed turbulent flows in which density is strongly varying. Density variations mainly concerned here may result from heat or mass transfer or from chemical reactions. These turbulent flows are of fundamental interest because the conservation equations for thermodynamics, mass and momentum are linked together. Another interesting fundamental aspect is that such flows, in the jet or wake configuration, can develop self-excited oscillations related to absolute instability oftbe nozzle regions. The understanding of these flows is an important problem in its own right but it is also the key to an improved physical understanding of combusting flows where the coupling between chemical reactions and aerodynamics occurs through local density fluctuations due to chemical heat release and composition changes. These density variations occur in many practical situations such as in the aerospace industry, in pollution and environmental problems, in engine combustion chambers, and so on. One of the aims of this symposium will be to stimulate collaboration between experimental, theoretical and numerical approaches to the problem. Another goal will be to bring together researchers specialized in turbulence and those involved in combustion. The symposium will extend to overseas scientists the meetings recently organized on a European basis on the same topics (Euromech 237, Marseille, 1988 ; Orleans, 1992 ;Grenoble, 1994). Main themes
- Theoretical and experimental studies of the instability mechanisms for low Reynolds number flows. Experiments and numerical methods, including DNS and LES, allowing a better understanding of the basic phenomena in the turbulent regime. Theoretical and numerical studies allowing the development of well suited modelling, including specific investigations into the various averaging procedures. Theoretical and numerical studies of the zero Mach-number limit of turbulent reacting flows (topics such as the kinetics of reactions are excluded). New experimental methods for the measurement of fluctuating scalars with emphasis on scalar dissipation, fluxes and higher order correlations. A specific session will focus on the possibility of developing similar strategies for investigating low speed variable density flows and supersonic flows. Proceedings of the symposium will be published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.

In cooperation with: - AIJ (Architectural Institute of Japan); JACA (Japan air cleaning association); VSJ (The visualization society of Japan); BL (Center for better living); IBEC (Institute of building energy conservation).
Objectives The qualitative and quantitative control of indoor airflow is widely regarded today as important matters of public concern. Various sociotechnological goals have directed attention to such aspects of the field as clean rooms for use in high-tech industries, the control of ventilation rates for energy conservation, the general improvement of living and working conditions in indoor environments, and comfort considerations. Computer simulation tech-
niques are developing rapidly and progress is also being made in measuring ventilation rates and the characteristics of indoor airflow. ROOMVENT '96 will bring together researchers from both domestic and foreign universities and institutes, industrial engineers, and government officials with the goal of surveying the latest techniques for analyzing indoor airflow and evaluating ventilation effectiveness. The Fifth International Conference, ROOMVENT '96 will be followed by INDOOR AIR '96 that will be held in Nagoya from July 21 to 26.
Chairperson S. Murakami (Japan) Topics - Airflow patterns in large enclosures such as atria shopping centers, industrial and agricultural buildings.

Institut de M@anique Statistique de la Turbulence UMR CNRS/Universit~de la M(~diterran@ Objectives
This IUTAM (international union of theoretical and applied mechanics) Symposium will focus specifically on the structure of low speed turbulent flows in which density is strongly varying. Density variations mainly concerned here may result from heat or mass transfer or from chemical reactions. These turbulent flows are of fundamental interest because the conservation equations for thermodynamics, mass and momentum are linked together. Another interesting fundamental aspect is that such flows, in the jet or wake configuration, can develop self-excited oscillations related to absolute instability oftbe nozzle regions. The understanding of these flows is an important problem in its own right but it is also the key to an improved physical understanding of combusting flows where the coupling between chemical reactions and aerodynamics occurs through local density fluctuations due to chemical heat release and composition changes. These density variations occur in many practical situations such as in the aerospace industry, in pollution and environmental problems, in engine combustion chambers, and so on. One of the aims of this symposium will be to stimulate collaboration between experimental, theoretical and numerical approaches to the problem. Another goal will be to bring together researchers specialized in turbulence and those involved in combustion. The symposium will extend to overseas scientists the meetings recently organized on a European basis on the same topics (Euromech 237, Marseille, 1988 ; Orleans, 1992 ;Grenoble, 1994). Main themes
- Theoretical and experimental studies of the instability mechanisms for low Reynolds number flows. Experiments and numerical methods, including DNS and LES, allowing a better understanding of the basic phenomena in the turbulent regime. Theoretical and numerical studies allowing the development of well suited modelling, including specific investigations into the various averaging procedures. Theoretical and numerical studies of the zero Mach-number limit of turbulent reacting flows (topics such as the kinetics of reactions are excluded). New experimental methods for the measurement of fluctuating scalars with emphasis on scalar dissipation, fluxes and higher order correlations. A specific session will focus on the possibility of developing similar strategies for investigating low speed variable density flows and supersonic flows. Proceedings of the symposium will be published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
