AFM 2002

Fourth International Conference on Advances In Fluid Mechanics

Description:

AFM 2002 is the fourth international conference in the successful series on ‘Advances in Fluid Mechanics’. The objective of the meeting is to provide a forum for the interchange of new ideas and the presentation of the latest work in the field.

The conference has been motivated by the success of previous conferences and the well-established Book Series Advances in Fluid Mechanics, the Editorial Board of which serves as the Scientific Advisory Committee for the conference. The aim is to provide a mechanism for discussing new work, which will afterwards appear in future volumes. The conference covers a wide range of topics, with emphasis on new applications and to research currently in progress. The basic mathematical formulations of fluid mechanics and their computer modelling will be discussed, as well as the relationship between experimental and analytical results.

The first conference in this series took place in New Orleans, USA (1996) followed by Udine, Italy (1998) and Montreal, Canada (2000).

The conference will be held at the Cultural Centre of the Ghent University ‘Het PAND’, a former Dominican monastery, located in the historical center of the city, on the banks of the river Leie.

Conference topics will include: Experimental Versus Simulation Methods Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics Boundary Element Methods Fluid-Structure Interaction Convection, Heat and Mass Transfer Hydrodynamics Coastal Sea Modelling River, Lake and Estuary Dynamics Wave Modelling Multi-Phase Flow Acoustics Environmental Fluid Mechanics High Performance Computing in Fluid Mechanics Bio-Fluids Material Properties and Fluids Industrial Applications
