Registration:
Candidate COST trainees should be sent by email to the local organizer, Prof. Martin Sommerfeld (martin.sommerfeld@iw.uni-halle.de) and to the Action coordinator, Dr. Cristian Marchioli (marchioli@uniud.it). The applicant must provide a motivation for attending the school and a CV. A message of confirmation will be sent to accepted COST trainees. There is no registration fee: all COST trainees will be offered a scholarship (from a minimum of 500 EUR up to a maximum of 650 EUR depending on the number of accepted trainees) to cover travel expenses and accommodation in Halle. All participants to the training school will be asked to pay a "meal fee" of maximum 80 EUR (cash payment at registration) to cover meals and coffee breaks for the entire duration of the school.
Objective:
to provide a general and unified frame of the current research on complex-shape non-spherical particles in complex flows and put future research paths in perspective. This will include a wide overview of cutting-edge work in this very active area of multiphase flow research, and a selection of advanced topics with high practical and theoretical value in several areas of engineering and applied physics.
Trainers:
Prof. Goodarz Ahmadi (Clarkson University, USA)
[ Lecture notes: LN1; LN2; LN3 ]
Prof. Ahmadi is the Dean of the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering, and Robert R. Hill '48 Professor of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at Clarkson. His scientific interests are focused on modeling pollutant transport, dispersion and turbulent flows of dense and dilute solid-gas or liquid mixtures, spray formation, and hot-gas filtration, aerosol particles transport, deposition and removal in turbulent flows His lectures will cover topics related to CFD modelling of complex particles in laminar and turbulent flows. In particular: Transport and deposition of nano/microparticles and fiber in ducts using RANS and sublayer models, Transport and deposition of particles and fibers in turbulent flows using DNS method, respiratory deposition of ellipsoidal particles and fibers.
