Abstract

This symposium is the latest in the series of International Flow Visualization Symposia, first held in Tokyo in 1977 and successively in Bochum, Ann Arbor, Paris, Prague, Yokohama, Seattle, Sorrento, Edinburgh, Kyoto, and Notre Dame. Technical sessions will cover all aspects of Flow Visualization. Topics will include but are not limited to: Methods: direct injection; electronic sparks and discharge; holography and holographic interferometry, interferometry; laser sheet imaging; laser-induced fluorescence; particle image velocimetry; pressure sensitive paints; shadowgraphy and schlieren; streaming bi-refringence; mechanical tufts, liquid indicators, liquid crystals; thermal and mass transfer indicators (thermography, sublimation, luminescent paints); image processing and image-assisted methods; graphical display of data sets; scientific art; numerical flow visualization, CFD, DNS. Applications: acoustics; aircraft; airfoils; bluff bodies; boundary layers; cavity flows; channel flows; combustion; cylinders; delta wings; droplet break-up; electrodynamics; engines; fluidics; environmental flows and field studies; holography; industrial processes; jets; jets in cross flow; low Reynolds number flows; medical/physiological flows; multi-phase flows; natural convection; porous media; rotating fluids; shock waves; supersonic flows; three-dimensional flows; turbomachines; turbulence; unsteady flows and instability; vehicles; vortices.
