TFAWS 2018

Thank you for joining us for TFAWS 2018!  Please join us in August 2019 in Hampton Roads, VA!

What is TFAWS?

The Thermal and Fluids Analysis Workshop (TFAWS) is an annual training and professional development workshop that is 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. TFAWS 2018 will be hosted by NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX.

The TFAWS 2018 Proceedings are now posted!  Visit our Proceedings page for the full list of presentations and papers!
