Scope:
Helicities (kinetic, magnetic, current, cross, etc.), as well as energies, are fundamental quantities of hydrodynamics (HD) and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). In the presence of certain combination of anisotropies (caused by, e.g., rotation, gravity, magnetic fields, etc.), mirror and reflectional symmetries in HD and MHD turbulence are broken. Symmetry-breaking in turbulence is measured by pseudoscalars such as helicities, which represent the topological properties of turbulence. In helical turbulence, mean-field structures (global vorticity, mean magnetic field, etc.) can be generated through a dynamo action by turbulent motions. Therefore, the dynamic and magnetic activities of the Sun and stars are intimately related to turbulent helicities. These relationships have been extensively investigated, both theoretically and observationally.
In the past, two Helicity Thinkshops, mainly on solar physics, were held in 2009 and 2013 at the National Astronomical Observatory of China (NAOC) at Beijing, China (Chair: Hongqi Zhang). They originated from a Chapman Conference on Magnetic Helicity in Space and Laboratory Plasmas held at Boulder, USA, in 1998 (Chair: Alexei Pevtsov). This time we organize a Helicity Thinkshop in Tokyo, Japan.
Aims and Topics:
The aims of this workshop (Helicity Thinkshop 3) are
Topics to be discussed include
In order to enhance interdisciplinary communication, all speakers in Helicity Thinkshop 3 are expected to present their talks in plain, generic physics language.

University accommodations:
Some block of the following university accommodations are reserved for the workshop participants. Those who wish to stay there should name the accommodation and stay period (check-in and -out dates) in the "Information" field of the Registration form. Because of the limitation of the number of rooms, the accommodations and rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The allocation will be individually announced later.
Other hotels:
Hotels in Shibuya and Shinjuku areas are closer to IIS, but the access to IIS from hotels in the downtown Tokyo is in general easy with public transportation.
