Fluids Engineering Summer Meeting, ICONE to be co-located in Miami next month

Whether you're interested in fluids engineering or nuclear engineering, Miami will be the place to be next month.

ASME is sponsoring two major engineering conferences — the Fluids Engineering Summer Meeting and the International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE) — and both of them will take place from July 17–20 at the InterContinental Miami Hotel.

The meetings are sponsored by the ASME Fluids Engineering Division and the ASME Nuclear Engineering Division, with participation by the following European Mechanical Engineering societies: Association Française de Mecanique (France), Associazione Italiana di Meccanica Teorica e Applicata (Italy), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (U.K.), the J.M. Burgers Centre for Fluid Mechanics (Netherlands), and Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (Germany).

The Second Joint U.S.-European Fluids Engineering Summer Meeting will comprise more than 150 paper and panel sessions, as well as tutorials and software demonstrations.

Various forums, workshops, seminars, social events, and hands-on product demonstrations at the exposition will provide the opportunity to exchange ideas, network, and explore new perspectives of fellow engineers from hundreds of different companies, industries, and countries from around the world.

Topics to be covered during the fluids engineering conference will include multiphase flows; turbulence; quality and reliability in the industrial application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD); combustion dynamics and control; environmental flows; control of separated flows; flows in manufacturing processes; non-intrusive methods for visualization and measurement in 3-D flows; algorithmic developments of and applications for CFD; fluids-structure interaction; and microbubble and polymer friction drag reduction.

Other sessions will cover free surface and interface fluid dynamics; fluid machinery; automotive flows; microfluidic devices and systems; advances in fluids engineering education; and aero-acoustics noise generated by turbomachines.

The 14th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE-14), which will run concurrently, is the premier global conference for addressing the needs of the nuclear industry.

ICONE's technical sessions, consisting of hundreds of technical presentations, will address such subjects as plant operations; installations, maintenance and life cycle; component reliability and materials issues; near-term deployment and promotion of nuclear energy; next-generation systems; safety and security; nuclear engineering advances; codes, standards, licensing, and regulatory issues; fuel cycle and high-level waste management; low-level waste management, decontamination and decommissioning; structural integrity; thermal hydraulics; the hydrogen economy; and medical applications for nuclear technology.

In addition, ICONE-14 will host a Nuclear Industry Forum. The forum will examine key technical challenges and business issues facing the nuclear industry, through panel discussions with leaders from utilities, vendors, and government.
