2011 Aerospace Thematic Workshop at Les Houches
Fundamentals of Aerodynamic Flow and Combustion Control by Plasmas
Les Houches Physics School, France
The 2011 AEROSPACE THEMATIC WORKSHOP on "Fundamentals of Aerodynamic-Flow and Combustion Control by Plasmas" will take place during the week March 27 – April 1 at 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 third of a cycle of conferences dedicated to the fundamental issues in the scientific disciplines relevant to aeronautics and space development. The first edition was held in Villa Monastero, Italy, in 2007, and the second in Les Houches in 2009.
The conference is managed by a team from the Paris region, with Svetlana Starikovskaia (Chairperson, Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas, Ecole Polytechnique), Christophe Laux (vice-Chair, Ecole Centrale), Igor Adamovich (OSU), Walter Lempert (OSU), and Jean-Pierre Taran (local organisation, Onera) and a Steering Committee composed of Professors J. D. Kelley (University of Minesota), D. Knight (Rutgers) and S. Leonov (IHED). 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.

Venue
Les Houches Physics School, is located near the city of Chamonix, at the foot of Mont Blanc. Skiing is possible in March and lifts are located within walking distance of the School. Weather permitting, a half-day outing down the famous Vallée Blanche, starting from Aiguille du Midi, will be organised for experienced skiers. The school features half a dozen double rooms for couples.
We wish to thank the following for their contribution to the success of this conference: European Office of Aerospace Research and Development, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, United States Air Force Research Laboratory (www.london.af.mil), CNRS (www.cnrs.fr) and Onera (www.onera.fr).
