The workshop is organized by the CIAS (Centre International d’Ateliers Scientifiques, International Centre for Scientific Workshops) of Paris Observatory during the last week of May, 25-29/05/2015. This is the second of the series of Meudon Turbulence Workshops. The first workshop was held in 2012 (http://lesia.obspm.fr/turbu/).

The aim of the workshop is to bring together space and plasma physicists, plasma astrophysicists, fluid turbulence specialists and computational scientists interested in problems related to turbulence and to serve as a forum for intensive discussions and exchange of state-of-the-art research results. All participants are by invitation.

Scientific sessions:

Session 1: Nature of turbulence in inertial range and relations to the different possible mechanisms of dissipation

Session 2: Turbulence around plasma kinetic scales (proton and electron scales)

Session 3: Turbulence vs instabilities and presence of waves in strong turbulence

Session 4: Possible dissipation mechanisms in turbulent plasmas (effect of collisions? reconnection? Landau damping? Instabilities? ... What else?)
