Call for Papers - TFAWS '03 "Heat Transfer and CFD: Bridging the Gap for the Next Generation" August 18 to 22, 2003

You are invited to submit papers for the 14th Thermal & Fluids Analysis Workshop (TFAWS '03). This workshop will include short courses of general interest in thermal and CFD, paper sessions on topics listed below, and hands-on training sessions in many thermal and fluid software packages. There will be numerous vendor demonstrations of new software and techniques. Experts will conduct seminars and lead discussions on special topics. Tours of NASA Langley Research Center will also be offered.

Register for the conference at early-bird prices!

Paper sessions are as follows:

Thermal topics include:

• Thermal control, design, analysis, and test; test correlation
• Aircraft and spacecraft, systems, and payloads (design or flight experience)
• Ground test, manufacturing processes, and simulation

Interdisciplinary topics include:

• Multi-disciplinary analysis such as thermal/structural analysis interface
• Thermal/CFD and aeroheating/thermal integration, fluid/structure interaction
• Integrated analyses of chemical reactions, electromagnetic interactions, micromechanics, structural motion
• Automation of test correlation and analysis, method development

Aerothermal/CFD topics include:

• High-speed aeroheating on vehicles; aerodynamic heating during entry or testing; ablation/transpiration
• CFD analyses and methods; internal and external flow analysis and test
• Conjugate heat transfer
• Subsonic and transonic applications such as avionics cooling
  

Propulsion topics include:

• CFD developments and applications for propulsion; propulsion analysis tools
• Modeling or testing of propulsion elements, components, or systems
• Design and development of: air breathing propulsion; solid, hybrid, and liquid systems and their components; and nuclear or other novel propulsion concepts
• Vehicle-propulsion integration

Abstracts less than 1000 words should be sent to the contact listed above for each session by May 2, 2003, or may be sent to the TFAWS '03 chair at NASA Langley Research Center, Joseph.F.Gasbarre@nasa.gov.

If necessary, you may paper mail your abstract to:
Joe Gasbarre, NASA Langley Research Center, MS 431, Hampton, VA 23681
(757) 864-7035

Typically, 20-30 minutes will be allotted for each paper, five of which are devoted to questions from the audience. Longer time blocks may be requested by the author. It is intended that papers and seminars will be published in a proceedings on CD-ROM. Instructions for electronic submission of manuscripts will accompany acceptance of the abstract. General questions may be directed to the chair, Joe Gasbarre, listed above.
