APISAT 2013 - The 2013 Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology (APISAT-2013)

In addition to general sessions, Organized sessions (OSs) will be organized in APISAT-2013 for 16 topics shown below.
Aircraft Noise Measurement, Prediction and Reduction
Aircraft Noise Measurement, Prediction and Reduction Due to the increase in air traffic, reducing aircraft noise is becoming one of the important factor when designing a new aircraft. The session will focus on the latest noise measurement, prediction, and reduction technologies of an aircraft, which includes airframe, engine noise and installation effect.
Plasma Flow Control
Advanced Supersonic Flight Technology
Demand to develop quiet and efficient commercial supersonic transportation is increasing again. In this OS, innovative technologies associated with supersonic flight are being discussed.
Advanced Aerodynamic Measurement and Visualization Technology
The OS regarding "Advanced Aerodynamic Measurement and Visualization Technology?h is organized in APISAT 2013. This session will focus on the visualization of the flow field using an advanced optical visualization technique, and aerodynamic characteristics in dynamic wind tunnel testing. The key topics are 1) Aerodynamic characteristics in dynamic testing, 2) Hypersonic flow, 3) New schlieren method, 4) PSP measurement. The state-of-the-art measurement technology will be discussed in this session.
Optimization and Design on Aerospace Engineering
The OS regarding "Optimization and Design on Aerospace Engineering" is organized in APISAT2013. The key topics are 1) efficient design manner (optimization, modeling, and meshing) and 2) knowledge discovery (data mining, statistical operation, and visualization). Your presentation for next-generation and innovative aerospace engineering are very welcome!/
Estimation of Flight Aerodynamics
EFD/CFD Integration
This session will focus on the complementary use of Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for the better understanding of flow phenomena and/or for the efficient and accurate prediction of aerodynamic properties of aerospace vehicles. We welcome papers concerning 1) utilization of EFD for CFD, 2) utilization of CFD for EFD, 3) EFD/CFD data fusion, and others.
Space Structures & Materials
Space Structures and Materials organized session provides recent researches and developments of large-scale lightweight structures, structural dynamics, materials for space environment. The topics include structural concept and dynamic analysis for large space structures, structural properties in fluid dynamics and thermal environment, and newly developed materials, to create efficient, innovative spacecraft structures.
Structural Health Monitoring for Aerospace Structure
Composite Materials and Designs
Air Transport: Operational Improvements and Enablers
To accommodate the air traffic demand increase, in the last few decadesair transport operation has significantly improved its performance. However, since further traffic demand is anticipated, furtherimprovements are required. For the purpose, operational improvements and enablers are being studied among many organizations. In this organizedsession, the studies will be presented and discussed.
Guidance, Navigation and Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: Toward Practical Missions
In APISAT-2013, we plan an organized session on Guidance, Navigation and Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Considering that there have been a lot of research groups which develop UAVs, we would like to shift our attentions to their practical missions. However, other topics are not excluded. That is, all the topics related to UAVs are welcome.
Propulsion System and Performance
Bioflights and Bio-inspired Micro Air Vehicles
Micro air vehicles (MAVs) are now an well-integrated research area, which are desired to be capable of performing missions such as environmental monitoring, surveillance, and assessment in hostile situations. MAVs normally operate in a Reynolds number regime of 104 - 105 or lower, in which most natural flyers including insects, bats, and birds, and the prominent feature of MAVs?Eaerodynamics. In this OS, we will bring active researchers together to exchange ideas and share recent developments in bio-flights and bio-inspired MAVs.
