Udine, 11 April 2006 Italy

The International Center for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) announces that it is holding an advanced school on computational methods for turbulent reacting flows. The school is organized by Daniele Marchisio (Politecnico di Torino) and Rodney Fox (Iowa State University) and six lecturers will be involved:

J. Derksen - Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands: Particle-based methods for DNS/LES of multiphase and turbulent reactive flows: the lattice- Boltzmann method as a tool for simulating multiphase flows, including liquid-solid and liquid-liquid applications.

R.O. Fox - Iowa State University, USA: Introduction and fundamentals of poly-disperse multiphase flows.

B.H. Hjertager - Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark: Multi-fluid CFD modeling of chemical reactors.

D.L. Marchisio - Politecnico di Torino, Italy: Moment methods for poly-disperse multiphase flows and RANS modeling of reacting particulate systems.

M. Massot - Ecole Centrale Paris, France: Multi-fluid modeling of the turbulent dispersion of polydisperse evaporating sprays.

J. Reveillon - University of Rouen, France: Mixture fraction topology and flame structures in turbulent spray combustion: simulation and modeling. How to use direct numerical simulations to develop models for spray dispersion, evaporation and turbulent combustion.

The course is addressed to master and PhD students in engineering and science, postdocs and industrial researchers working on simulation and modeling of multiphase polydisperse systems, such as: bubble columns, fluidized beds, aerosol, spray combustion chambers, crystallization and precipitation etc.

Date: July 3, 2006 - July 7, 2006
