AFI 2013 - The Thirteenth International Symposium on Advanced Fluid Information (AFI-2013)

The term, "Advanced Fluid Information" (AFI) was created at Institute of Fluid Science (IFS), Tohoku University to signify the paradigm shift in fluid dynamics research (experimental, numerical or theoretical) and its application with the help of both distributed and powerful Information and Communication Technology. This AFI-2013 symposium is anticipated to foster productive dialogues among participants and to generate excitement and interests in the fields of AFI.
This symposium is composed of three sessions: IFS Collaborative Research Forum (short presentations and poster session), Young Researcher Overseas Visits Program Research Forum, and Fluids Science Research Award Lecture. IFS Collaborative Research Forum aims to review and encourage collaborative research projects. In Young Researcher Overseas Visits Program Research Forum, young researchers of IFS report their research results obtained through the overseas visits project. In the Fluids Science Research Award Lecture, the winners of the Fluids Science Research Award give commemorative lectures. We wish this symposium promote further collaboration in the field of fluid science.
