"Introduction to the PDF approach to turbulent two-phase flows:
 basic theory and numerics with applications"


I will describe the main ideas and motivations behind the stochastic
modelling (PDF) of complex phenomena in physics. The essential 
mathematical framework will be given and briefly explained. The
particular case of turbulent two-phase flows will be presented as a 
typical example where such techniques present major advantages. 
Finally, some numerical results obtained in a engineering configuration
are shown.
