5th European Postgraduate Fluid Dynamics Conference

Abstract

The 5th European Postgraduate Fluid Dynamics Conference will continue an annual succession of fluid dynamics-themed conferences, organised and attended by doctoral students across Europe. All previous conferences, EPFDC-2007 (Birmingham), EPFDC-2008 (Keele), EPFDC-2009 (Nottingham), EPFDC-2010 (Paris) have shown to be a success and have proved to be an excellent platform for students to both present their research and network with others. This year the conference, EPFDC 5, will be held in Göttingen, Germany and is jointly hosted by the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology of the German Aerospace Center and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organisation. Following the spirit of preceding years, this conference will provide an open-forum for PhD students from all over Europe giving a short talk or presenting a poster. The sessions will be devoted to the broad scope of topics of fluid- and flow-based research including, but not limited to aerodynamics, geophysical flows, turbulence, hydrodynamic stability, multiphase flow and biofluid dynamics. The attendees will get the opportunity to share their ideas and their work in an environment of current and future colleagues. Furthermore four accomplished scholars will give plenary talk from these many diverse areas of fluid dynamics.
