The 38th AIAA Fluid Dynamics Conference includes papers covering all aspects of fluid dynamics, particularly those relevant to aerospace applications. Topics range from basic research and development to applied and advanced technology, including novel experimental and computational observations, interdisciplinary papers that bridge theoretical, experimental, and numerical approaches, and papers that provide innovative concepts and analyses, or especially new insight into flow physics. More than 40 sessions are planned that include papers related to low and high speed flows, instability, transition, turbulence, vortex dynamics, and various aspects of flow control. The conference is collocated with several other conferences to enable close synergism and interaction between a broad range of research disciplines in fluid dynamics and several joint sessions on topics of broad interest have been arranged. These joint sessions include, but are not limited to, hypersonic and rarefied flows, chemically reacting and multiphase flows, biological/biologically inspired flows, and flow control. In addition the Fluid Dynamics Conference will feature special sessions that are associated with the activities of working groups under the Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee of AIAA. In particular, the Roughness Working Group will sponsor a special session of invited and contributed papers related to roughness effects on transitional flows. The Fluids Information Triad Working Group will co-sponsor a session of invited talks based on prior success stories derived from an exemplary combination of theoretical, computational and experimental work (joint with the Theoretical Fluids and Applied Aerodynamics Conferences). Finally, an Open Forum will be held that is sponsored by the AIAA transition Study Group.

The 26th AIAA Aerodynamic Measurement Technology and Ground Testing Conference features papers and presentations covering ground testing facilities and state-of-the-art measurement technologies employed and being developed for these facilities. The theme for this conference is “The Application of Multi-Disciplinary and State-of-the-Art Technology for Achieving Advances in Measurement and Testing Capability to Support the Development of Aerospace Vehicles.” In support of this theme, several sessions are being jointly sponsored by the AMTGT conference and the Flow Control, Fluids, Plasmadynamics and Lasers and Thermophysics conferences. Among the sessions appearing at the conference will be velocimetry techniques, spectroscopy and advanced imaging methods, surface measurements, high enthalpy experimentation, diagnostics for flow control applications, force measurements, development of test facilities, flow quality and facility performance, ground test investigations, data acquisition and analysis. In addition there are special invited sessions and joint sessions directed at experimental and computational experts.

The 40th AIAA Thermophysics Conference includes papers covering all aspects of heat transfer and thermophysics. Focus is given to aerospace applications with respect to the AIAA papers, but it is not limited to this topic area. Topics range from basic research and development to applied and advanced technology, including novel experimental and computational observations, interdisciplinary papers that bridge theoretical and experimental approaches, and papers that provide innovative concepts and analyses. More than 20 sessions are planned that include areas in aerothermal design, ablation, high-speed flows, boiling and condensation, conduction and convection heat transfer, heat pipes, radiation heat transfer, microscale/nanoscale heat transfer, measurements of thermophysical properties, and thermal control of spacecrafts. Special sessions are planned for recent advances in the hypersonics program at NASA. Joint sessions with collocated conferences will include ablation, reacting flows, multiphase systems, and rarefied flows. Invited speakers will consist of both experimentalists and theoreticians. An invited presentation by the recipient of the Thermophysics Award will be given at the conference.

The 4th AIAA Flow Control Conference includes papers covering many aspects of fluidic control technologies. Topics range from discussion of fundamental fluid manipulation and actuation strategies to the implementation of reduced order modeling and closed-loop flow control in aerospace applications. Papers include theoretical, experimental, and numerical approaches. More than 20 sessions are planned that include papers related to the control of low and high speed flows through boundary layer manipulation, separated flow control, jet control, and flow control actuators. Sessions on reduced order modeling, closed-loop control and challenges for flow control simulations are also planned. The conference is collocated with several other conferences enabling interaction in disciplines common to each. To facilitate these interactions, joint sessions between conferences have been arranged. These joint sessions include aero-optics and fluid interactions control, low-pressure turbine control, closed-loop control and challenges for computing flow control applications. A centerpiece of this year’s Flow Control Conference will be a series of three joint sessions together with the Fluid Dynamics Conference on Laminar Flow Control Technologies (LFC) for transport aircraft. Due to the recent increases in fuel costs and concern over environmental impact of aviation it is particularly timely to reassess LFC with current and future technologies for transport aircraft. International experts from industry, government laboratories, and academia will give invited presentations. The special sessions will conclude with a panel discussion on Tuesday morning. The goals of these sessions and the panel discussion are to assess the state of-the art of LFC technology and to define the scientific and technical obstacles that have to be overcome for successful implementation of LFC technology in future transport aircraft.
Special Poster Event
A “Progress in Flow Control” poster session will be held during a break in the regular Flow Control technical sessions. The poster session will emphasize current or recent projects utilizing flow control and actuation techniques. The poster session will occur Wednesday afternoon at 1600 hrs in Grand Ballroom B. Refreshments will be served during the interactive period. The posters will also be open for interaction and viewing during the Wednesday evening reception.
