Conference on fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, Zurich, Switzerland
15 January 2012 - 15 January 2012
Switzerland
A conference on fluid dynamics and thermodynamics will take place from 15 to 17 January 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland.
In physics, fluid dynamics is a sub-discipline of fluid mechanics that deals with fluid flow-the natural science of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. The field has a wide range of applications, including calculating forces and moments on aircraft, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space and modeling fission weapon detonation.
Research in thermodynamics looks at the effects on material bodies, and on radiation in regions of space, of transfer of heat and of work done on or by the bodies or radiation. Advanced energy systems, for example, are an integral part of many industries, and a fundamental understanding of thermofluids engineering is critical to the improvement of many engineering devices.
A range of research activities are being undertaken in thermodynamics, energy, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. The objective of much of this research is to improve energy systems and reduce their environmental impacts.
The conference will bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, and discuss the practical challenges potential solutions.For further information, please visit: http://www.waset.org/conferences/2012/zurich/icfdt/(opens in new window)
