2025 Workshop on Flow Measurement Techniques in Extreme Environments
This two-day workshop will unite leaders in fluid, thermal, and solid mechanics to tackle the challenges of measuring and modeling complex phenomena under extreme conditions. Extreme conditions refer to fast transients happening at microscopic spatio-temporal scales, which lead to compressibility effects coupled with extreme pressure and temperature. Such environments are encountered in a variety of regimes. These include cavitation erosion, boiling, hypersonic boundary layers (with ablation and erosion effects), additive manufacturing processes, ice accretion, or high-energy-density physics. These communities have leveraged progress in hardware and software to advance their diagnostics. However, they typically operate in siloed environments, and it would be opportune to bring them together to discuss recent developments and identify synergy and collaboration opportunities.
To guide the development of next-generation instrumentation, select experimental, computational, and theoretical experts will present critical modeling gaps, highlighting where experimental data is most needed. The program will feature cutting-edge techniques, identify future trends, and foster collaboration across hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, multiphase flows, acoustics, thermal science, surface chemistry, advanced materials, and solid mechanics. Participants from NATO countries, including academia, government labs, industry, and key funding agencies, will shape a path toward a data-rich, integrated future in extreme fluid dynamics.
