These coherent flow structures can include eddies or vortices at the scale of individual grains, through structures that scale with the flow depth in rivers or estuaries, to the large-scale structure of flows at the morphological or landform scale. These flow structures are of wide interest to the scientific community because they play an important role in fluid dynamics and influence the transport, erosion and deposition of sediment and pollutants in a wide variety of fluid flow environments. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScientific knowledge of these structures has improved greatly over the past 20 years as computational fluid dynamics has come to play an increasing important part in building our understanding of coherent flow structures across a broad range of scales.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapters comprise a series of major, invited papers and a selection of the most novel, innovative papers presented at the second Coherent Flow Structures Conference held August 3-5, 2011 at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapters focus on six major themes:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDynamics of coherent flow structures (CFS) in geophysical flows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInteraction of turbulent flows, vegetation and ecological habitats\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoherent structure of atmospheric flows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumerical modeling of coherent flow structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTurbulence in open channel flows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoherent flow structures, sediment transport and morphological feedbacks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeremy G.
