This year we will hold the 13th Fall Fluid Mechanics Symposium (FFMS) on Saturday, November 16th  from  8:15 am - 12:30 pm, first floor of Goodwin Hall on the Virginia Tech campus.

The FFMS will consist of parallel sessions of 10-minute presentations by faculty and students covering a broad range of fluid mechanics research. If you're involved in fluids research and related fields, this is a great opportunity to present your work and connect with researchers at Virginia Tech. The symposium is arranged so that those researchers who will be attending the upcoming APS DFD and ASME IMECE meetings can present their work first here at the FFMS.
 

Submit an Abstract:

Abstract submission is now open and closes on Monday, November 4th. To submit a presentation abstract please fill out this form. We will follow the APS DFD guidelines for the abstract length, please limit abstracts to 1300 characters. There is no registration or registration fee and all are welcome to attend and participate. All presentations follow the DFD format of a 10 minute presentation which will be followed by a 5 minute period for questions and discussion.

The symposium is hosted by the Mechanical Engineering Department and is organized by Profs. Mark Paul (mrp@vt.edu) and Mark Stremler (stremler@vt.edu).  ME PhD student Aditya Raj (araj@vt.edu) is the system administrator for the website. Please contact any of us if you have any questions.
