The 20th International Couette-Taylor Workshop will be held in Marseille, France on the Mediterranean coastline, the 11^th-13^th July 2018. The conference is hosted by Aix-Marseille University, CNRS and Centrale Marseille, on the Château-Gombert campus. 

The meeting is devoted to fundamental problems in fluid mechanics, with particular emphasis in nonlinear dynamics and flow instabilities.

Selected key-note talks, oral and poster presentations will cover

• • • experimental,
    • theoretical and
    • computational investigations on
      

• Taylor-Couette flows,
• spherical and planar Couette flows,
• Rayleigh-Bénard instability,
• Rayleigh-Taylor instability,
• Dean instability,
• rotating and swirling flows,
• transitional flows,
• shear flows,
• stratified flows,
• geophysical and atmospheric flow instabilities, and
• MHD flows.
