Session description
Understanding fluid dynamics and heat transfer has been one of the most fascinating problems challenged by specialists. Measurement techniques for heat transfer processes involving liquids/gases, including infrared thermography or fiber-optic sensors, can be helpful to predicting/controlling/validating them. The proposed session would be a fair opportunity to promote interesting exchanges among research scientists as well as industrial users. More specifically, it is aimed to:
- bring together people dedicated to theories, experiments, simulations and applied aspects on fluid flow and heat transfer processes as well as to the employment of thermal/infrared equipments;
- disseminate and exchange fundamentals and applied research on heat transfer and fluid flow processes as well as measurement techniques. The following list of topics illustrates the scope of the session.
