Two-pHase modEling for Sediment dynamIcS
The 6th symposium on two-phase modeling for sediment dynamics in geophysical flows
October 13-15, 2025 | Santa Barbara, California, USA
Event Overview
We invite studies of fundamental understanding of sediment transport dynamics and other multiphase phenomena and their geophysical applications through theoretical/numerical modeling and laboratory/field observation. THESIS symposia (THESIS-2011, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2022) were successfully held in Chatou, France, Tokyo, Japan, Newark, USA, and Les Houches, France, to provide a forum for discussing and exchanging knowledge and experience in the international research community, with the goal of developing two-phase approaches to sediment dynamics in geophysical flows.
