Thermal & Fluids Analysis Workshop (TFAWS) Analysis Excellence from the Ground Up – and Beyond! July 29 - August 2, 2013 • Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL
Call For Papers Is Now Closed!
Thank you to everyone who submitted to be a part of TFAWS 2013. Notices of acceptance will be provided by the Session Chairs.
Student and Early Career Project Presentation Session
In this session participants will present an approximately fifteen minute summary of their current or recent projects to other students and experienced analysts. The session allows students and young professionals to present their work without being held to the research requirements of a professional publication.
Although publication in the TFAWS proceedings will be optional, presentations will need to go through the clearance processes as outlined below. Presentation titles and a very brief summary should be submitted to Ryan Honour (321) 867-4652 no later than July 15th.
Radiative heat transfer, analytical and experimental approaches
Studies related to MLI, coatings, thermophysical/optical properties, and surface finishes
Ground test, manufacturing processes, and simulation
Plume impingement effects on ground support elements
Analytical model correlation to existing test or flight data

Submission Guidelines
Abstract Submission Deadline:
CLOSED
Final Manuscript Submission Deadline:
July 1, 2013
Abstracts and Presentations
Must be 200-1000 words in length
Include a title and description of the paper or presentation to be submitted
Indicate what is unique about the work
Include an assessment of the data, results, and conclusions that are currently available
Provide a status of the state of the work (concept, development, testing, or completed study)
Abstracts must be submitted by email to the appropriate session chairs. You will be notified by email concerning the acceptance of your abstract. Upon acceptance, a manuscript template will be provided. Full papers are encouraged, but not required, in order to give conference presentations. Typical paper presentations will be allotted 30 minutes, of which five should be devoted to questions from the audience. Longer time blocks may be requested by the author in advance and will be granted according to the discretion of the session chairs.
Clearance/Copyright Submitted work must be unclassified and approved for public release by the appropriate company and/or government agencies. Please allot time for this authorization process. Government employees are expected to complete Document Availability Authorization (DAA) paperwork. The submission must be original work from the author without any portion of the material infringing on any copyright. Presenters will be required to fill out a "Presentation Clearance & Permission to Publish" form prior to their presentation. The form may be completed prior to TFAWS or upon arrival.
TFAWS 2013 is proud to announce a Poster Session in addition to paper sessions and short courses. Poster sessions present the opportunity to display your research and technology achievements in a casual and conversational forum. Posters will be displayed at the Welcoming Reception on Monday, July 29th (tentative) and may remain on display around the venue common areas throughout the week of the conference. During the Welcoming Reception presenters should be available in the vicinity of their poster to explain their work and answer questions.
The poster session provides an excellent opportunity to display and exchange information, research, and programs in all areas of thermal and fluids. The following technical areas will be the primary focus of the conference:
