History |
|||
| The first AFI symposium was held in 2001 in Zao, Miyagi. Under the 2001
invited speakers' encouragement, the organizers decided to host a similar
large symposium in every three years, while a smaller, more focused mini-symposium
is to be held in the interim years. The second symposium was held in 2002
in Tokyo and focused on fusion of EFD (Experimental Fluid Dynamics) and
CFD. The symposium was organized in a single session, allowing for presentation
and in-depth discussion among the entire participants. The third symposium
was held in 2003 in U.S.A., to increase the conference visibility and significance
in the world audience. For easy access for participants, Syracuse University
Lubin House in New York City was selected to facilitate the small-time
for in-depth presentation and active audience interactions on biomedical
and environmental quality issues. The fourth symposium was held in 2004
together with the first Transdisciplinary Fluid Integration (TFI) symposium.
Based on the success of AFI research, IFS has established a new research
center, Transdiciplinary Fluid Integration Research Center, in April 2003.
The center is responsible for research and application of integrated experimental
and computational approaches to solve transdisciplinary fluid problems
in various science and engineering fields. The fifth AFI symposium was
held in December, 2005 in IFS. This symposium was held in collaboration
with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency). In 2005, IFS and JAXA established
an agreement for promoting researches on aerospace sciences. In AFI-2005,
latest works on the scope of aerospace, rarefied gas, plasma, and bio-fluid
were presented and discussed. The second TFI symposium was held in October,
2005 in Hyuga, Miyazaki, one of the best subtropical climate area. The
sixth AFI symposium was held in October, 2006 at JAXA in Chofu, Tokyo cosponsored
by JAXA and IFS. Latest works on the scope of Aerospace Science and Technology
focusing on MEMS/NANO technologies, and Bio-fluid Science and Engineering
were presented and discussed. The third TFI symposium was held in June,
2006 in Matsushima, Miyagi to further explore the potentials of the TFI
technologies especially from the aspect of "Shape Modeling and Analysis
in Fluid Science". The seventh AFI symposium combined with fourth
TFI symposium, AFI/TFI-2007 was held in December, 2007 in Tohoku University.
The symposium was held as the 100th anniversary of Tohoku University event,
applied to wide spectrum of fluid sciences including aviation weather and
safety, biological flows, nano-processing, thin film development, advanced
visualization. The eighth AFI/TFI symposium, AFI/TFI-2008, was held again
in December, in Sendai. The focus of AFI/TFI-2008 was on nano-processing,
such as the nano-scaled heat and flow phenomena, bio-nano applications,
and the damage-free nano-scaled devices. The ninth AFI/TFI symposium, AFI/TFI-2009,
was held in November, 2009 at the Sendai city center. The tenth AFI/TFI
symposium, AFI/TFI-2010, was held in November, 2010 at the Sendai international
center. A workshop on atomization and spray technology was held.The eleventh
AFI/TFI symposium, AFI/TFI-2011, was held in November, 2011 at the Sendai
city center. This symposium was composed two sessions: workshop on clean
and efficient combustion technology, and IFS collaborative research forum. |
