The major emphasis of the research on mixing shear flows will be on the         identification of mixing mechanisms for different Richardson-number             regimes and the effect of internal-wave radiation on the energetics of          the mixing process.  The studies on mixing across diffusive interfaces          surrounded by turbulent convecting layers will be a combination of              theory and experiment, and will focus on the mechanisms responsible for         determining the equilibrium interfacial-layer thickness and the                 buoyancy transfer at low stabilities.  It is expected that the research         on the formation of local mixed regions and their lateral spreading             will shed light on the appropriate scaling parameters for the vertical          size of turbulent patches and will provide understanding of their               gravitational collapse process that is responsible for the formation of         microstructure in stratified turbulent fluids.
