| Session Description | Fluid dynamical processes are ubiquitous and are key elementary processes which occur in the Earth’s interior and at the Earth’s surface. Many of these processes involve challenging complexities such as multiphase (solid-liquid-gas), phase change, non-Newtonian rheology, fracturing, granular flow, turbulence etc. It is not uncommon that similar fluid dynamical process occur in vastly different geological settings, for example in the magma chamber and in the Earth’s core. Therefore we feel that by fostering discussion among researchers working on the related phenomena, but not necessarily on the same geological problem, an in depth fluid dynamical understanding can be attained. Here we solicit broad range of fluid dynamical research motivated to understand dynamical processes in the Earth’s interior and at the Earth’s surface, using analytical, numerical, experimental approaches, or any combinations of these. We hope that the session provides an interdisciplinary ground to enhance discussion, provide physical insights and inspire new solutions to individual problems.
