The 2018 Workshop Agenda is now available Here
Dear Colleague,
You are cordially invited to participate in the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory’s (NETL) 2018 Workshop on Multiphase Flow Science. The workshop will take place on Tuesday, August 7 through Thursday, August 9, 2018, in Houston, TX. This year’s workshop is being co-sponsored by the University of Houston and Louisiana State University and will be held at the University of Houston’s Student Center. We welcome the support of these two excellent academic institutions with their well-known research programs in multiphase flow science and industry collaborations.
This workshop brings together international leaders from industry, academia, and government laboratories working in multiphase flow sciences to discuss current research projects and future research and development needs. Topics can include gas-solid, liquid-solid, gas-liquid, and gas-solid-liquid multiphase flows. Industrial representatives are encouraged to attend and share their experiences and specific applications to help researchers better understand industry needs and priorities.
Tuesday August 7 and Wednesday August 8, 2018 will be dedicated to technical presentations. On Thursday August 9, 2018, Workshop sponsors will provide demonstration and training sessions new MFiX Software Suite offerings including the new MFiX-PIC model scheduled for Summer 2018 release.
Call for Presentations:
The goal for the Workshop continues to be advancing the use of physics-based multiphase simulations and experiments to help overcome the technical barriers associated with the development of highly efficient, environmentally acceptable energy, environmental and industrial technologies and processes.
The conference will cover topics in:
- Fundamental research in multiphase flows
- Advancements in CFD model development for multiphase flows
- Application of multiphase CFD to industrial systems such as gasification, combustion, fossil fuel extraction and utilization, chemical processes, etc.
- Novel measurement techniques in multiphase flows
- Application of uncertainty quantification techniques in multiphase flow simulation
- Optimization and reduced order modeling of multiphase systems
You are invited to submit a brief abstract for a 15-minute presentation, by June 30, 2018, to workshop@mfix.netl.doe.gov. The final agenda and notification to presenters will follow by July 15, 2018. Due to the limited number of time slots available for presentations, the organizing committee may ask the presentation author(s) to provide a poster in lieu of a presentation.
The workshop will be Open to the Public and Foreign Nationals may attend the meeting. Only publicly available information will be presented.
