Description

Control of Turbulent Friction Drag - C708, New Central Building (新主楼), Beihang University

Conference Programme 

Xuerui Mao workshop

A workshop on the control of turbulent friction drag will be held at Beihang University from 01/08/2018 to 02/08/2018 followed by a 5-day summer school for PhD students. Various numerical and experimental techniques on drag reduction will be presented.  The keynote speakers include Prof. Fazle Hussain, Guowei He, Haecheon Choi and Paulo Luchini.

This event is a deliverable of an EU Marie-Curie project lead by Dr. Xuerui Mao at the University of Nottingham. The partners include ONERA, Oxford University, KTH, Johns Hopkins University, Beihang University, Xian Jiaotong University and Zhejiang University.
