14th International Symposium
on Turbulence and
Shear Flow Phenomena (TSFP14)
July 28–31, 2026, Heidelberg, Germany
Welcome to TSFP14 in Heidelberg
On behalf of the local organizing committee, consisting of Martin Oberlack (chair), Jeanette Hussong, Suad Jakirlic, Yongqi Wang, from Technical University of Darmstadt, and Bettina Frohnapfel, Markus Uhlmann, from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, we would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to the 14th International Symposium on Turbulence and Shear Flow Phenomena (TSFP14). TSFP14 will take place in the picturesque and beautiful city of Heidelberg, from July 28 to 31, 2026.
Heidelberg is a city of science with a long history that is closely linked to its 600-year-old university, the oldest in Germany. At the same time, Heidelberg is a popular tourist destination with its world-famous majestic castle, the romantic medieval old town and its picturesque location at the Neckar river, nestled between the beautiful Odenwald low mountain range and the Rhine plain. Heidelberg is located in the center of Germany and is perfectly accessible via Frankfurt Airport and by trains via many major cities in Germany and Europe.
We would be very pleased to welcome you in Heidelberg.
TSFP series
The series of biennial TSFP symposia is the principal venue for reporting and disseminating recent and ongoing research on turbulence and shear flow phenomena. Previous successful TSFP symposia were held in Santa Barbara, California (1999), Stockholm, Sweden (2001), Sendai, Japan (2003), Williamsburg, Virginia (2005)†, Munich, Germany (2007), Seoul, Korea (2009), Ottawa, Canada (2011), Poitiers, France (2013), Melbourne, Australia (2015), Chicago, USA (2017), Southampton, UK (2019), Osaka, Japan (2022), and Montreal, Canada (2024). The symposium will feature invited speakers, peer-reviewed conference proceedings and poster presentations.

TSFP14
Like the previous 13 TSFP symposia, TSFP14 provides the opportunity to report new discoveries and developments in the fundamental and applied research on turbulence and shear flow phenomena. In addition to the classic focal points such as experiment, simulation, theory and modelling, AI-based methods will continue to gain in importance significantly complementing the foregoing methods. The organizers of TSFP14 wish to give particular emphasis to the following topics:
| Instability and transition to turbulence | Turbulence and heat/mass transfer control |
| New modelling, simulation and experimental techniques for turbulent flows | Plasma and MHD turbulence |
| Turbulence in reacting and multiphase systems | Biological, biomedical and clinical flows |
| Noise generation and fluid-structure interaction | Compressible flows |
| Environmental and geophysical turbulence | Machine learning, data assimilation and turbulent flow reconstruction |
