simulations, and experiments to address questions including: Can we draw
quantitative connections between the interfacial properties of turbulent
multi-phase fluids and those of active structured fluids that can form phases
with orientational order — both polar and nematic — and are important to
biological applications? What are the roles of active forces and interface
anchoring in renormalizing the interfacial tension and driving coarsening
kinetics? Can we identify generic classes of extended systems that organize in
nonequilibrium statistically steady states, with both spatial and temporal
structure? How can we systematize the study of the statistical properties of
particles and fields in multi-phase and active-fluid turbulence?</span></p>
