US-European Conference on High Speed Flow Fields

The conference will focus on both experimental and computational progress in supersonic and hypersonic flows. This unique forum will bring together international experts in modeling, experimentation and numerical simulation. Due to the extreme physical conditions and associated modeling difficulties, CFD methodologies are essential for the prediction of high-velocity flow phenomena. Moreover, experimental and numerical methods must be combined.

The conference will consist of state-of-the-art lectures delivered by recognized experts (45 minutes), and a poster session. It will take place November 6-9 and will incorporate the following topics:

Scientific themes in high speed flows:

Technological highlights:

Calendar of Events

Call for Posters

The submission of posters is encouraged. A poster presentation consists of the use of visual aids such as 8 1/2" x 11" sheets, mounted on single 4' x 6' poster board. The poster session will be two hours long.Each contributor must submit a title and a brief abstract not exceeding 75 words. Poster boards will be available at the beginning of the conference. If there is a sufficient interest an attempt will be made to hold a video poster session.

The abstract should outline clearly and precisely the major elements of interest and the novelty of the presentation. The abstracts should include the title of the paper, the full name of all authors (with the presenter indicated), each author's institutional affiliation and the presenter's mailing address, telephone number, fax and e-mail address. Authors will be notified upon receipt of their abstracts.

First US-European High Speed Flow Field Database Workshop

In association with the existing European High Velocity Database (EHVDB) at INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France, a U.S. High Speed Flow Data Base (HSFF) will be launched at the occasion of this workshop. This initiative will allow users from universities, laboratories and aerospace industries to evaluate directly, with the aid of on-site workstations and standardized graphic software, the quality of new computations and experiments.

The Database Workshop will consist of presentations aimed at comparing experimental data with computational simulations on selected test cases. Goals are to assess the validity of the physical models as well as the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical methods.

The following test cases have been selected for computation. These cases are all supported by experiments and they cover a wide range of complexity including: the modeling of finite-rate chemistry, turbulence, the prediction of shock/boundary layer interactions, supersonic and hypersonic interactions on two-dimensional generic shapes and on three-dimensional full body configurations:

T1-95. Wind Tunnel Nozzles
T2-95. Hyperboloid Flare
T3-95. Shock-Shock Interaction
T4-95. Flow past a Fin
T5-95. ELAC
T6-95. Propulsion Nozzle Flow
T7-95. Ramp/cowl/nozzle (canceled)
T8-95. 70 Degrees Blunted Cone
T9-95. Sharp Cone Transition (canceled)
T10-95. Two Vertical Plates (canceled)
T11-95. Blunt Fin Interaction
T12-95. OREX Flowfields
T13-95. Nonequilibrium Flow over a Flat Plate
T14-95. Multi-bodies Interference
The description of the test cases and associated output formats will be available on the World Wide Web at

Workshop Participation

The Workshop will include state-of-the art lectures on code validation and sessions associated with the above test cases.

Any contributor to at least one of the above test cases who has provided documented results of computation will be allowed some time for a short presentation, possibly using on-site workstations for access to the database.

Applications should be made before May 15, 1995. Applicants should return the reply form by fax, mail or e-mail to Prof. T.W. Pan or Dr. D. A. Trevas at the above address. An electronic booklet including test cases definitions, specifications and output formats will be available by mid October 1995. Request for this booklet should be made to Prof. Pan or Dr. Trevas.

Deadline for Workshop Contributions

All test case contributions to the Workshop should be received before October 27, 1995. Results should be sent electronically to Prof. T.W. Pan or Dr. D. A. Trevas via anonymous ftp at `math.uh.edu' in the directory `pub/HSFF'. Workshop participants will be given instructions for manuscript preparation for the Workshop Proceedings upon acceptance of their results.
