Eighth International Conference on Flow Dynamics November 9-11, 2011 Sendai, Miyagi, JAPAN
SCOPE
It was a disaster the earthquake and tsunami hit the north-eastern
part of Japan on March 11, 2011. This unprecedented tragedy also left
the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant crippled, on which we are
continuing to put lots of efforts to stabilize in safe. During this course
of
the time, we have received innumerous calls, letters and e-mails from our
friend worldwide expressing condolences, sympathies and support offers
onto us.
We, in Japan, felt comforted, encouraged and empowered
tremendously by such kind of warm and heartfelt messages and offers. On
behalf of all the people of Tohoku and Japan, we thank you very much for
the support of you. Yes, we are all right and we shall come back soon to
the ordinary course of our family life, education, research and industrial
works. Here in Sendai, recovery works are proceeding fairly smoothly and
we have a firm confidence in that Tohoku University shall contribute to
the
creation of revitalized Tohoku District and Japan. Under the circumstances,
we have decided to have the annual conference ICFD2011 in November, in
Sendai as ordinarily, and we like to encourage you all to join in it to contribute
for the development of methodologies and practical measures for our
harmonious co-existence and symbiosis with the earth and all the lives living
on the planet.
The Eighth International Conference on Flow Dynamics, in the annual
series, which is fully supported by Tohoku University Global COE Program
g
World Center of Education and Research for Trans-disciplinary Flow Dynamics
(ICFD2011)h will be held on November 9th through 11th at in Katahira
Campus of Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. We changed the venue from
the originally planned Matsushima to Katahira Campus of Tohoku University,
Sendai. The objectives of this conference are not only to explore new science
horizon and exchange information in cutting edge technologies in gFlow
Dynamicsh, but also to provide young researchers and students with unique
opportunities of education and self-development.
Flow dynamics is a comprehensive scientific field which deals with the
flow and transport phenomena concerning to any fluid, any material, energy
and information. The scope of this conference covers the fluid, thermal,
material, molecular and quantum dynamics of the multi-scale flows ranging
from nano-scale flows such as behavior of molecules, atoms, ions and electrons,
to gigantic scale flows such as solar radiation, air-flow, multi-phase flow,
typhoon on earth, oceanic flow and volcanic flow, etc.
We cordially invite you scholars, researchers, engineers, educationists
and planners in the related research and development areas of bio-, nano-,
material-, energy- and environmental- sciences and technologies, particularly
in the academic field of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering,
nuclear engineering, physics, medical science, chemistry, chemical engineering,
to join
in the conference.
We are looking forward to seeing you at ICFD2011 in Sendai, Japan,
on November 9th through 11th,
2011.
