Abstract

The 51st Euromech Colloquium, on mixing in stratified fluids, was held at the University of Cambridge from 24-27 June 1974, with one of the present authors (J.S.T.) acting as Chairman of the Organizing Committee. There were fifty-two participants from twelve countries, and thirty-two contributions were presented and discussed during the four days of the meeting.
