Particles 2009 International Conference

Particles 2009

International Conference on 

Particle-Based Methods

Fundamentals and Applications

25-27 November 2009, Barcelona, Spain

PARTICLES 2009 will address both  the fundamental basis and the
applicability of state of the art particle-based computational methods that
can be effectively used for solving a variety of problems in engineering and
applied sciences.

Significant advances have been made in  the discrete element method (DEM),
the smooth particle hydrodynamic method (SPH), the particle finite element
method (PFEM), the material point method, and atomistic and quantum
mechanics-based methods, among others. The coupling of these methods with
standard numerical procedures, such as the finite element method  and also
with meshless techniques offers new possibilities to solve complex problems
in engineering and sciences with an accurate representation of the physical
phenomena at nano, micro and macro scales. The applications of the
particle-based methods addressed in the conference will cover geomechanical
and mining problems, industrial forming processes, fluid-structure
interaction problems accounting for free surface flow effects in civil and
marine engineering (water streams acting on constructions, wave loads in
harbours and marine structures, ship hydrodynamics, etc.), multi-fracturing
processes in impact situations, nano-micro-macroscopic effects in material
science and bio-medical engineering, molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics

Dear Colleague,

Following the success of the previous editions of the European Conference on 
Computational Fluid Dynamics held in Stuttgart (1994), Athens (1998), Swansea 
(2001) and Egmond aan Zee (2006), it is our pleasure to cordially invite you 
to participate in the 

Fifth European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD 2010,
to be held in Lisbon, Portugal on June 14-17, 2010.

The meeting is organized under the auspices of the European Community of 
Computational Methods in Applied Sciences - ECCOMAS (www.eccomas.org) and is 
among the largest and most comprehensive European conferences devoted to the 
field of Computational Fluid Dynamics. It offers a unique opportunity for 
researchers and students to meet, present their latest research, exchange 
ideas and interact with many of the experts in the field.

CFD 2010 will take place at the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering - 
LNEC, near the city center of Lisbon where many hotels are located.
Directions for submitting papers will be posted soon at the conference 
webpage, 
www.eccomas-cfd2010.org .

Subject: Multiscale Science Based-Modeling and Simulation and Experimental
Validation on Enabling Materials

Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the NSF Summer Institute on Nanomechanics, Nanomaterials, and
Micro/Nanomanufacturing, I am writing to remind you that the deadline for
application for fellowships 

is March 1, 2009, for the short course entitled "Multiscale Science
Based-Modeling and Simulation and Experimental
Validation on Enabling Materials", to be offered from May 27 to May 30, 2009
in Evanston, Illinois.  The short course will first cover science-based
modeling and simulation methods for general classes of enabling materials.
This will be followed by examining more focused applications such as
multifunctional materials for sensing, device fabrication, manipulation,
medicine, and biology.  We have assembled an international team of six
instructors, who are leaders in the field.

Thanks to the support of NSF, we have a limited number of NSF fellowships
available to faculty members, high-school science teachers, post-docs and
PhD candidates from the US.  The fellowship consists of full registration
fee plus an accommodation allowance.  Please check the enclosed announcement
for further details.

We look forward to seeing you in this short course.
