Minisymposia, which
provide in-depth sessions focused on special topics, were selected based
on proposals to the organizing committee. A minisymposium typically
consists of five 20-minute presentations with an additional five minutes
for discussion. The following minisymposia will be held:
-
Fluid Transport
in Nanotubes and Nanochannels
(organized by Constantine M. Megaridis and Petros Koumoutsakos)
-
Foams: Linking
the Mechanics of Fluids and Solids
(organized by Sascha Hilgenfeldt)
-
Japan-US
Minisymposium on Bio-Fluid Dynamics
(organized by Maria Oshima and Stanley Berger)
-
Polymer Flow in
Capillary and Simple Shear: From Interfacial Slip to Constitutive
Discontinuity
(organized by Shi-Qing Wang)
-
Reduced-Order
Modeling for Feedback Flow Control
(organized by Dietmar Rempfer and Bernd R. Noack)
Eight invited lectures on topics of
broad interest to the fluid dynamics community will be presented during
plenary sessions over the course of the meeting:
Howard Baum, NIST,
The Fluid Mechanics of Fires
Henk Dijkstra, Utrecht University,
Global Ocean Circulation: An Elegant
Dynamical System
James Grotberg, University of Michigan,
Respiratory Fluid Mechanics
Elisabeth Guazzelli, Polytech Marseille,
Sedimentation of Particles:
How Can Such a Simple Problem Be so
Difficult?
Nicolas Hadjiconstantinou, MIT,
Hydrodynamics Beyond the Navier-Stokes
Description:
Modeling and Simulation of Small Scale
Flows
Charles Meneveau, Johns Hopkins University,
On the Origin of Small-Scale Intermittency
in Turbulence
Charles Williamson, Cornell University,
New Phenomena in Vortex-Induced Vibrations
Grae Worster, University of Cambridge,
Dynamics of Premelted Liquid Films
