The Seventeenth International Symposium on Advanced Fluid Information |
|||
| Sendai International Center, Sendai, Japan November 1-3, 2017 |
|||
| AFI-2017 will be held with ICFD2017. Detailed information is available in website of ICFD2017. | |||
Scope |
|||
| The term, "Advanced Fluid Information" (AFI) was created at
Institute of Fluid Science (IFS), Tohoku University to signify the paradigm
shift in fluid dynamics research (experimental, numerical or theoretical)
and its application with the help of both distributed and powerful information
and communication technology. In 2001, the first AFI symposium was held
in Zao, Miyagi, and the symposium has been held successively sixteen times.
Its history is summarized in the website. Coordinated with the AFI symposium, the International Conference on Flow Dynamics (ICFD) has been organized by the two Tohoku University COE programs,"The 21st Century International COE on Fluid Dynamics (21COE, 2003 - 2007)" and "Global COE Program World Center of Education and Research for Trans-disciplinary Flow Dynamics (GCOE, 2008 - 2012)". In 2013, ICFD has been hosted by the Institute of Fluid Science. Since 2014, the organizing committee of ICFD has been hosting the conference and the Institute of Fluid Science are powerful support for that. Though this series, the spirit of the AFI symposium and its aims are continued. Since 2010, Institute of Fluid Science has been acknowledged as the Joint Usage/Research Center, "Fluid Science Research Center", by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The program promotes collaborative research projects, in which our staff works with researchers from other organizations. Now the AFI symposium has the important task of opening the research results to the societies through the holding of the Collaborative Research Forum, as well as extending the collaborative projects to researchers over the world trough the expanding activities of the International Joint Usage/Research Center. This year, AFI-2017 is jointly held with ICFD2017 and the achievement of the joint projects is presented in OS18: IFS Collaborative Research Forum. It is highly anticipated that this symposium will foster a productive dialogue among participants and promote further collaboration in the field of Fluid Science and Advanced Fluid Information. |
