Scope of the Conference
From its origins as a tool primarily for use in aerodynamics, usage of
computational fluid dynamics has spread to a wide range of other fields,
such as biofluid mechanics, geophysics, atmospheric flows, and so on. Each
subspecialty has made its own advances on the state of the art, but these
advances do not necessarily propagate to other application areas. This
year's conference seeks to build from our historical solid base in ``traditional''
applications of CFD to also include users in other areas, laying the groundwork
for future cooperation and collaboration. Contributions from all sectors
are solicited, across the full spectrum of CFD research and applications,
including, but not restricted to:
| Automotive |
Bio-fluid mechanics |
Heat and mass transfer |
| Aerospace |
Combustion |
Other industrial applications |
| Aero-acoustics |
Environmental flows |
Multi-phase flows |
| Algorithms |
Fluid-structure interactions |
Non-newtonian flows |
| Atmospheric flows |
Free surface flows |
Turbulence modeling |
Location
CFD 2003 will be held at the Coast Plaza Hotel and Suites in Vancouver,
BC, hosted by the University of British Columbia. The Coast Plaza is located
in downtown Vancouver, two blocks from English Bay Beach, three blocks
from Stanley Park (home of the Vancouver Aquarium), and close to many excellent
restaurants, hotels, and shops. The downtown area is easily accessible
from Vancouver International Airport.
Technical Program
The format of the conference will be similar to that in past years, including
(in addition to contributed papers)
-
Four keynote lectures (topics and speakers TBA)
-
Hardware and software vendor exhibits
-
Code validation challenge
-
Student paper competition
-
Short course (topic TBA)
-
Reception and banquet
The official languages for CFD 2003 will be English and French. Papers
and presentations will be accepted in either language.
Papers will be accepted on the basis of reviewed abstracts, which should
be between 500 and 1000 words in length. Figures and tables can be added.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is December 16, 2002. Submissions
can be made either by hardcopy or electronically through email attachment
(PDF or Postscript format, please), and should include the author name(s),
affiliation and email contact information. Please send abstracts to:
