Venue
University of Leeds

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Fluids Symposium: ‘Fluid Dynamics Modelling for Real World Applications’ on the 20th June 2018 (provisional timings, 09.45-15.45).

Recent years have seen exciting advances in modelling techniques in diverse areas of Fluid Dynamics, with benefits to society including applications in industry, geosciences, hazard prediction and weather forecasting. Advances include theoretical and mathematical innovations, as well as the efficient exploitation of new computational resources such as massively-parallel machines.

This symposium brings together leading researchers in different fields within Fluid Dynamics, to share latest results and ideas related to the modelling of real-world phenomena. The event is open to the community of researchers in Fluid Dynamics at Leeds, and their industrial partners.

Over 100 academics at Leeds undertake research with a major Fluid Dynamics component. This includes both fundamental and applied Fluid Dynamics problems, such as geophysical flows, pathogen control, nuclear safety, heat transport, climate modelling and oceanography. Fluid Dynamics at Leeds has strong links to industry and early career researcher training (notably the EPSRC CDT in Fluid Dynamics at www.fluid-dynamics.leeds.ac.uk). Our goal is to promote and support fundamental and multidisciplinary research, and to encourage collaboration and innovation to tackle Fluid Dynamics problems.
