Hi,

As Eric Paterson recently mentioned, end of March is quickly approaching, which is the "official" deadline for submitting abstracts for the Third OpenFOAM Workshop which is being held in Milan this summer.

We (Maryse Page, Martin Beaudoin and Håkan Nilsson) are responsible for the turbomachinery session.

Abstracts covering the use of OpenFOAM in all kinds of simulations of turbomachinery may be submitted to the Workshop Organizers before the abstract submission deadline, March 31 2008.

We have set up a case-study for the turbomachinery session, and we would like to encourage everyone to use that case-study to demonstrate and validate their new implementations, or their use of available features of OpenFOAM. The case study is located in the Sig Turbomachinery pages in the OpenFOAM Wiki. See further information at http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Si...e_next_meeting.

Some notes on the turbomachinery session of the third OpenFOAM Workshop:

* The work of the accepted abstracts will be presented by the authors. Presentations demonstrating contributions to the Sig Turbomachinery Wiki and the OpenFOAM-extend repository are encouraged.

* The status of the Sig Turbomachinery will be presented.

* A summary of contributions to the Sig Turbomachinery will be made.

Please visit the Workshop website at http://www.openfoamworkshop.org. We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts, and to meeting more OpenFOAM users and developers at the workshop this summer!

Håkan, Maryse and Martin.
