The 11th ERCOFTAC SIG 33 Workshop, Progress in Transition Modelling and Control will be held in St Helier, Jersey from Wednesday 15th April 2015 (lunchtime) to Friday 17th April 2015 (lunchtime) and is organised in collaboration with the Laminar Flow Control centre (LFC-UK) based at Imperial College London. The workshop belongs to the successful series initiated in 1999 in Toulouse with the workshop on "Adjoint methods in flow control, optimization, weather predictions, etc. "

The purpose of the present workshop is to provide a forum where new ideas and concepts on global modes and flow control can be openly discussed.

Invited speakers:

• Alessandro Bottaro (Civil Engineering, University of Genoa)
• Prof. Philip Hall (Mathematics, Imperial College London)
• rof. Maurizio Quadrio, (Aerospace Engineering, Polytechnic University of Milan)
• Prof. Neil Sandham (Aerospace Engineering, Southampton University))

Topics:

We invite submission of abstracts on ongoing activities on:

• Linear stability approaches, modal and non-modal theories, etc.
• Effect of stochastic and deterministic excitations, receptivity, etc.
• By-pass transition, experiments and scaling laws, etc.
• Nonlinear effects, "exact coherent structures", edge states, etc.
• Control, estimation and compensation, etc.
• Optimal and suboptimal control, experimental approaches, etc.
• Reduced order models, etc.
