2009 Aerospace Thematic Workshop

Fundamentals of Aerodynamic Flow and Combustion Control by Plasmas

October 11-16 Les Houches Physics School, France

The 2009 AEROSPACE THEMATIC WORKSHOP on "Fundamentals of Aerodynamic-Flow and Combustion Control by Plasmas" will take place during the week October 11 – 16 in Les Houches Physics School, a magnificent and famous conference centre in the French Alps (http://w3houches.ujf-grenoble.fr/index-en.html). This conference is the second of a cycle of conferences dedicated to the fundamental issues in basic scientific disciplines of importance to aeronautics and space development. The first edition was held in Villa Monastero, Italy, in 2007 (http://www.onera.fr/congres/2007-aerospace-thematic-workshop/).

This year the conference is managed by a team from the Paris region, with Christophe Laux (Chairman, Ecole Centrale), Svetlana Starikovskaia (vice-Chair, Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas, Ecole Polytechnique) and Jean-Pierre Taran (local organisation, Onera). Presentations will address fundamental issues, experimental challenges, measurement methods and advanced numerical simulation. The attachments are intended to facilitate your application to and preparation for the workshop. Feel free to disseminate this information to interested people.
