Scope
Industrial application of
Computational Fluid Dynamics ("building better products with CFD") requires
the solution of complex fluid-flow problems in conjunction with equipment
design, process and product development. For the successful solution of
these problems, a high degree of coordination between industrial CFD engineers,
software developers, consultants and academic scientists is necessary.
This symposium, to be held
for the second time, addresses these issues by focussing on computational
modeling of industrially relevant fluid flows in interaction with participating
media (solid confinements, porous structures, dispersed phases, plasmas,
etc.) and physical/chemical phenomena (diffusion transport, thermal stress,
flow induced vibrations, electromagnetic transport, heat generation &
dissipation, electrophoresis, phase change, combustion, CVD, chemical reactions,
etc.).
Participation from the
industry is key to our success and especially encouraged and nourished!
Symposium History
The Symposium was held for
the first time July 1998 in San Diego, California, in conjunction with
the 1998 ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Division Conference. The Symposium
consisted of 16 Sessions, during which 66 contributed and 6 keynote papers
were presented by authors from industry, academia, CFD consultants and
software vendors, representing 20 different countries. Papers were published
in two separate volumes (ASME PVP-Vol. 377-1 and 377-2). Volumes 377-1
and 377-2 can be ordered from the ASME Catalog. For the second time it
was held on August 1999 in Boston, Massachusetts. Symposium materials were
published in two ASME volumes PVP-397-1 and PVP-397-2 and Symposium
consisted of 20 Sessions representing authors from 22 countries. In Boston
(99) Symposium organizers have received a best Session Award (see left
column). For the third time it was held in Atlanta, Georgia. It consisted
of sixty six presentations and 16 sessions. Symposium materials were published
in two ASME volumes PVP-424-1, PVP-424-2.

etc.
Keynote lectures
During the 1998 Symposium
in San Diego, Profs. Brian Spalding (CHAM) and David Gosman (Star-CD) and
Drs. Anantha Krishnan (CFDRC) and George Bache (AEA/CFX) presented keynote
lectures on novel developments in fluid-structure, fluid-thermal and fluid-chemistry
coupling. Profs. S. Maruyama (Tohoku University) and Y. Matsumoto (The
University of Tokyo) presented keynote talks on CFD in interaction with
radiation heat transfer, and on CFD of bubbly two-phase flows. In Boston
Dr. Ashok Singhal, Dr. Akshai Runchal, Prof. Alexandre Ern, Dr. Ellen Meeks,
Prof. Keisuke Sawada, Prof. Isao Kataoka persented their keynote lectures.
For the fourth Symposium,
invitation will be extended to prominent CFD experts from various branches
of industry and academia, to present keynote lectures on the application
of process and structure integrated CFD in industrial design and optimization
problems.
Tutorials & Software
Demonstrations
One day and 1/2 half day
tutorials are being planned and CFD software demonstrations will be organized
at the Conference. Please contact the corresponding organizers with proposals.
Dates and Location
The Symposium will be held
in conjunction with the ASME/JSME/KSME Pressure Vessels and Piping Division
Conference, Aug 4-8, 2002, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Vancouver, British
Columbia, CANADA.
Papers and Publication
Contributed papers will
be accepted based on submitted abstracts and peer-review of full papers.
Accepted full papers will be published in ASME Conference Proceedings bound
volumes, which will be available at the Conference. Outstanding papers
will be recommended for publication in the ASME Journal of Pressure Vessel
Technology. In principle, all accepted papers will be invited for oral
presentation at the Symposium. Submission of student papers is strongly
encouraged, and excellent student papers will be proposed for PVP Division
Best Student Paper Awards.
