What is TFAWS?
TFAWS is an annual training and professional development workshop designed to encourage knowledge sharing, professional development, and networking throughout the thermal and fluids engineering community within NASA and the aerospace community at large. The vision of TFAWS is to maintain continuity over time and between disciplines throughout the thermal and fluids engineering community. This year’s conference theme is: Developing our Future in Aeronautics and Space through Technology.
Hosted By: NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC)Sponsored By: NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) Technical Discipline Teams (TDTs) Passive Thermal Control and Protection, Life Support/Active Thermal, and Aerosciences
Dates: August 15-19, 2011
Location: Newport News Marriott at City Center (see "Travel Info" for more info)
Keynote Speaker: Thomas A. Morgenfeld (Skunk Works and X35 Chief Test Pilot)

- Scientists
- Thermal and Fluids Analysis Tool Users
- Educators
- Students
What are the benefits of attending TFAWS?
- Participants have the opportunity to share their work on the latest application of new and established methods to aerospace missions, impart engineering lessons learned, and compare/contrast engineering practices.
- Annual sharing of knowledge, hands-on instruction in relevant state-of-the-art engineering analysis tools, and seminars/short courses taught by the veterans in the thermal and fluids engineering community helps to ensure that the expertise of the community is maintained.
- Networking at TFAWS gives each engineer an extensive network of contacts which serves as an excellent source of advice and technical knowledge.
- TFAWS provides tremendous opportunities for enhancing collaboration between NASA centers, other government agencies, industry, academia, and the international thermal and fluids engineering community.
