School of Aeronautics, Madrid, Spain 25-26 October 2012

The Multiflow Conference on Turbulent-Nonturbulent Interfaces has the goal of bringing together researchers to expose and summarize the newest problems and findings relating with the  turbulent entrainment and it's link with the geometry and characteristics of the so called turbulent/non-turbulent (T/NT) interface separating the irrotational from the turbulent flow in mixing layers, wakes, jets and boudary layers. It has the objective of uniting researchers so that new directions of investigation and collaborative work can be discerned.

Recent research has shown that a layer of strong shear may act as a barrier for eddies and prevent it from penetrating through that layer. These shear interfaces, because of their persistence, have a major importance on the flow dynamics because of their impact on transport of heat, mass and momentum. Over the past decade, their relevance has been recognized in a variety of different flows. In atmospheric flows the edge of the polar vortex is known to act as a barrier for the transport of ozone depleting gases; in turbulent boundary layers transport is blocked according to the same mechanism. Layers of shear are equally formed in planetary atmospheres (e.g. Jupiter, known as PV staircases), in plasmas (e.g. Tokamaks, Sun), transport barriers play a dominant role for the flow dynamics and explain anomalies observed in energy spectra. The aim of this meeting is to bridge these traditional research disciplines and to discuss interfacial processes that occur in diverse areas of fluid mechanics.

Lisbon, Portugal, 14-17 of June, 2010

The European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) announces the organization of the Fifth European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECCOMAS CFD 2010) to be held in Lisbon on JUNE 14th - 17th June 2010. Previous editions of the very successful ECCOMAS CFD conferences were held in Stuttgart (1994), Athens (1998), Swansea (2001) and Egmond aan Zee (2006). Furthermore, computational fluid dynamics, computational mechanics and related fields have been a major topic at the ECCOMAS congresses held in Brussels (1992), Paris (1996), Barcelona (2000), Jyvaskyla (2004) and Venice (2008). The ECCOMAS CFD2010 conference includes invited plenary and semi-plenary lectures, contributed papers from both Academy and Industry, Minisymposia and Invited Special Technological Sessions.

 The goal of the ECCOMAS CFD conferences is to periodically bring together researchers, industrialists and students working in the fields of the science of Computational Fluid Dyamics (CFD). The fields of interest are the applications of mathematical and computational methods and the modelling of different areas: CFD, computational acoustics, computational magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), computational mathematics and numerical methods, optimization and control, computational methods in life sciences and industrial applications. Multidisciplinary applications of these fields to problems encountered in sectors like Aerospace, Car and Ship Industry, Electronics, Energy, Finance, Chemistry, Medicine, Biosciences, and Environmental sciences and Earth sciences are also welcome.

In order to apply it's academic side, LASEF gets involved in "real-life" engineering projects, where different types of physics are involved. These provide good reality-checks, as sometimes one needs to develop new tools to better tackle a problem. Being involved in these projects is also a way to be in contact with constant source of new and interesting problems that can further be studied in a more academian way.

LASEF's is currently involved in the projects that follow:

FC-DISTRICT

"The overall objective of the FC-DISTRICT project is to optimize and implement an innovative energy production and distribution concept for sustainable and energy efficient refurbished or new "energy autonomous" districts, exploiting decentralized co-generation coupled with optimized building and district heat storage and distribution network."

DAPHNE

"The overall scope of the DAPhNE project is to develop and demonstrate a package of integrated solutions for energy intensive, firing processes (ceramics, cement and glass), based on real time self-adaptive control systems for MW and process control and for tuning micro-wave technologies to the material characteristics, yielding real time information about the process energy consumption as well as the product quality."
