Event Overview
Fluid dynamics is central to understanding the intricate relationship between global warming and tropical cyclones—called hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the Pacific. This engaging panel will bring together leading experts to explore how multiphase flow, thermodynamics, ocean–atmosphere interactions, and large-scale circulation shape the formation, evolution, and impacts of these powerful storms.
The discussion will highlight advances in forecasting, preparedness, and resilience, while also exploring emerging frontiers in research and technology. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with the panel on prediction, adaptation, and future directions.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn how fluid dynamics research is helping us better understand and respond to one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
