Recent years have seen an explosion in the use of machine learning and data science tools in fluid dynamics. These tools have led to advances in data-driven closures for turbulence models, nonlinear dimension reduction and data-driven time evolution modeling for control applications, and combining velocimetry and machine learning to improve velocity field measurements. In soft-matter dynamics, especially non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, machine learning and data science have begun to aid in development of effective constitutive models for very complex soft materials and efficient representations of complex data sets as arise for example in X-ray scattering measurements of complex-fluid microstructure. In this conference, more than 30 leading researchers have been invited to speak on fluid dynamics, soft matter structure and rheology, weather, climate, nonlinear dynamics, chaos and turbulence, and how they are advanced with new ideas and tools from machine learning and data science. Discussion sessions will enable exploration of broad themes and detailed issues arising from the research presentations.
