Dr. James S. Langer, Director of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California - Santa Barbara, and Dr. George M. Zaslavsky, Head of the Department of Analytical Studies, Space Research Institute, Moscow, U.S.S.R., have organized a cross- disciplinary program in Topological Fluid Dynamics that will involve pure mathematicians and astrophysicists as well as fluid dynamicists. Leadership will be shared with Dr. Keith Moffatt of Cambridge University and Dr. Michael Tabor of Columbia University. The Soviet delegation will include Drs. Alexander Chernikov and Michael Natenzon from the Space Research Institute and Dr. A. Mikhailov from the Landau Institute of Theoretical Physics. The principal activity of the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) is to organize and operate research programs in which visiting scientists can interact over an extended period with a sizable fraction of the world's most active scientists in the research area. An outstanding cross-section of leading topologists, theoretical and computational fluid dynamicists working on problems involving fundamental mechanisms of vorticity dynamics and turbulence, plasma physicists with expertise in problems of magnetic field topology and reconnection processes, and experts in Lagrangian chaos will meet from August - December 1991. The participation of the group of Soviet scientists will enhance the vitality and international nature of this program. This project fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading researchers in the U.S. and U.S.S.R. to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence in the field of basic scientific research on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.

加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校理论物理研究所所长 James S. Langer 博士和苏联莫斯科空间研究所分析研究系主任 George M. Zaslavsky 博士组织了一项跨学科研究- 拓扑流体动力学学科项目将涉及纯数学家、天体物理学家以及流体动力学家。 将与剑桥大学的 Keith Moffatt 博士和哥伦比亚大学的 Michael Tabor 博士共同领导。 苏联代表团将包括博士。来自空间研究所的 Alexander Chernikov 和 Michael Natenzon 以及来自兰道理论物理研究所的 A. Mikhailov 博士。 理论物理研究所（ITP）的主要活动是组织和运营研究项目，使访问科学家能够与世界上该研究领域相当一部分最活跃的科学家进行长期互动。 杰出的顶尖拓扑学家、研究涡动力学和湍流基本机制问题的理论和计算流体动力学家、在磁场拓扑和重联过程问题方面具有专业知识的等离子体物理学家以及拉格朗日混沌专家将于八月举行会议 - 1991年12月。苏联科学家小组的参与将增强该计划的活力和国际性。 该项目通过使美国和苏联的领先研究人员在平等、互惠和相互的基础上，在基础科学研究领域的共同利益和能力领域结合互补的努力和能力，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标的好处。
