The 14th biennial Center for Turbulence Research Summer Program

This is a brief account of the 14th biennial Summer Program of the Center for Turbulence Research, which was held at Stanford University from June 25 to July 20, 2012. Key accomplishments achieved during the summer program were presented at the conclusion of the program, and a few highlights are reported here. More detailed results are to be reported at the annual American Physical Society-Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting in San Diego, November 18-20, 2012, and in Proceedings of the 2012 Summer Program to be published in December 2012 by the Center for Turbulence Research of Stanford University. A repeating theme of the 2012 Summer Program was applications of the dynamic mode decomposition analysis, which revealed important dynamical information of flow physics. Other new findings are highlighted. C (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4754823]
