SYMPOSIUM OF VKI PHD RESEARCH 2012

From March 5-7, 2012

FREE REGISTRATION

A complete review of the research carried out by the large VKI Phd community is presented. Each 1st year Phd candidate has few minutes to introduce the poster of the research he/she will focus on during the rest of his/her doctorate. The 2nd year and 3rd year Phd candidates have twenty minutes to expose his/her project and the associated progress and/or results. The presentation is followed by 10 minutes of questions. Talks are organized in coherent topics that may cover fields such as plasma flows, turbine flows, multiphase flows, engine and compression flows, aero acoustical flows, residual distribution and flows, transitional flows, heat transfer flows, hazards in flows.
