PREFACE
This third Summer School on Turbulence at the School of Aeronautics of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid follows two previous ones, in 2013 and 2015. Those previous workshops were funded by the European Research Council Multiflow grant, whose goal was to improve our understanding of the multiscale dynamics of turbulence in fluids. After the initial grant ran its course, funding for the Summer School was transferred to the ERC grant Coturb, directed towards an understanding of turbulence from a structural point of view. The third Madrid Summer School took place from May 29 to June 30, 2017. As for the first two, its goal was to provide a meeting place for theoreticians, experimentalists and simulators, in which to develop and test new ideas on turbulence physics and structure. Around forty, mostly young, participants from twenty one international groups met for five weeks of collaborative work, primarily using the computational data archived in the receiving institution but, in many cases, also contributing their own. Although the format included some invited formal seminars and periodic plenary meetings, most of the work took place in small groups whose composition occasionally changed during the workshop. These proceedings reflect the results of the work of these groups, which, in many cases, later continued in the form of new collaborations.
