17th International Conference on the Discrete Simulation of Fluid Dynamics (DSFD 2008)
Florianópolis, Brazil August 4 - 8, 2008
First Announcement
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the 17th International Conference on the Discrete Simulation of Fluid Dynamics (DSFD 2008) will be held in Florianópolis, Brazil, on August 4-8, 2008.
The DSFD series of conferences originated with the historic 1986 Los Alamos conference organized by Gary D. Doolen. Since that time, the DSFD conferences have emerged as the premiere forum for researchers in the field, and many exciting new discoveries in lattice models of fluid dynamics have been first announced at DSFD conferences.
Topics emphasized at these meetings include lattice gas automata (LGA), the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE), discrete velocity methods (DVM), dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH), direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), stochastic rotation dynamics (SRD), molecular dynamics (MD), and hybrid methods. There will be sessions on advances in both theory and computation, on engineering applications of discrete fluid algorithms, and on fundamental issues in statistical mechanics, kinetic theory and hydrodynamics and their applications in Micro, Nano and Multiscale Physics for emerging technologies. Other topics of interest also include theoretical and experimental work on interfacial phenomena, droplets, free-surface flow, and micro and nanofluidics.
The DSFD 2008 program includes a series of tutorial lectures on some of the main themes of the conference. We wish to encourage participation from researchers at all stages of their career, from students to senior researchers.
You are cordially invited to participate in DSFD 2008, and to contribute a presentation on your recent research. More details regarding presentations can be found on the DSFD2008 webpage:
