Swirling and Swimming in Turbulence was the theme at the 2010 GFD Program. Professors
Glenn Flierl (M.I.T.), Antonello Provenzale (ISAC-CNR, Turin) and Jean-Luc Thiffeault
(University of Wisconsin) were the principal lecturers. Together they navigated an elegant
path through topics ranging from mixing protocols and efficiencies to ecological strategies,
schooling and genetic development. The first ten chapters of this volume document these
lectures, each prepared by pairs of this summer’s GFD fellows. Following on are the written
reports of the fellows’ own research projects.Funding was provided by the Office of Naval Research under Contract No. N000-14-09-10844 and the National Science Foundation through Grant No. OCE 082463
