We
are pleased to announce that the 19th International Conference on the
Discrete Simulation of Fluid Dynamics (DSFD 2010) will be held in
Rome, Italy, on July 5-9, 2010. This conference is being organized by
CNR and University of Rome, "Tor Vergata". The DSFD series
of conferences originated with the historic 1986 Los Alamos conference
organized by Gary D. Doolen. Since that time, the DSFD conferences have
emerged as the premiere forum for researchers in the field, and many
exciting new discoveries in lattice models of fluid dynamics have been
first announced at DSFD conferences.
Topics emphasized
at these meetings include lattice gas automata (LGA), the lattice
Boltzmann equation (LBE), discrete velocity methods (DVM), dissipative
particle dynamics (DPD), smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH), direct
simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), stochastic rotation dynamics (SRD),
molecular dynamics (MD), and hybrid methods. There will be sessions on
advances in both theory and computation, on engineering applications of
discrete fluid algorithms, and on fundamental issues in statistical
mechanics, kinetic theory and hydrodynamics and their applications in
Micro, Nano and Multiscale Physics for emerging technologies. Other
topics of interest also include theoretical and experimental work on
interfacial phenomena, droplets, free-surface flow, and micro and
nanofluidics. The DSFD 2010 program includes a series
of tutorial lectures on some of the main themes of the conference. We
wish to encourage participation from researchers at all stages of their
career, from students to senior researchers.
It
is a pleasure for us to thank all participants for the great
success of the conference. We had about 130 oral presentations and 160
participants from more than 30 countries!!
A selection of contributions to the conference will be published as a two-volumes special issue of
Philosophical Transactions A (Royal Society, London)
All
participants are invited to submit a full length paper for the
dedicated Theme issues of Philosophical Transactions A (Royal Society,
London). All submitted papers will follow a standard independent
peer-review process.
Papers must be submitted following the procedure described in
http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/ specifying the name DSFD2010
for the dedicated theme issue. A strict selection procedure will
be followed due to maximum page limitations for each volume.
Submission timeline:
15 August 2010 : communication of intention to submit by email to us dsfd2010@gmail.com
15 October 2010 : submission of all papers due (max 8 pages, strictly enforced)
15 November 2010 - 1 December: referee reports returned to authors
15 January 2011: submission of all revised manuscripts
15 February 2011: upload of all final electronic manuscript copy
April/May/June: publication of online and hard copy versions of the two issues.
