Scopes

The term, gAdvanced Fluid Informationh (AFI) was created at Tohoku University to signify both the paradigm shift in fluid dynamics research (experimental, numerical, or theoretical research) and its application using powerful computational technologies. The Symposium on Transdisciplinary Fluid Integration (TFI) has aimed to address transdisciplinary fluid problems arising in various research fields such as environmental science, life science, information technology, and nanotechnology. The eighth AFI symposium combined with the fifth TFI symposium, AFI/TFI-2008, will be held in Sendai from December 19 through 20, 2008. This symposium is anticipated to foster a productive dialogue among participants and to generate excitement and interest in the field of Advanced Fluid Information and Transdisciplinary Fluid Integration. The focus of AFI/TFI-2008 will be on nano-processing, such as the nano-scaled heat and flow phenomena, bio-nano applications, and the damage-free nano-scaled devices. Ultra-high-functional semiconductor devices typified by ULSI, TFT, and solar cells support the IT revolution of the 21st century, which is embodied in such products as intelligent and networked household appliances. These devices are manufactured by means of thin-film material deposition and processing technologies that utilize nano-scaled particles such as electrons, atoms/molecules, ions, and photons. In this symposium, we would like to discuss how fusing physical experimentation and computer simulation can create an "Intelligent Nano-Micro Process".
