In conjunction with CFD2009, CSIRO is running a Symposium on Multi-Scale Modelling of Fluid Systems on 7-8 December. Further information on the symposium can be found here.
 

CSIRO is pleased to announce the seventh international conference on the application of CFD in the mineral processing, metal production, power generation, chemicals, food, oil and gas and other industries. CFD is proving an invaluable tool in the design and optimisation of equipment and processes in these industries.

The conference continues a successful series of meetings aimed at promoting and advancing the application of CFD in the minerals and process industries where technologies often involve challenging aspects such as multiphase flow, combustion, phase change, non-Newtonian flow, etc.

The program will present papers on a wide variety of applications including coal combustion, hydrocyclones, casting, fluidised beds, smelting, furnaces, slurries, steel making, crystallisation, stirred tanks, bio-engineering, granular flow and many others.
