Dear Colleague,
We cordially invite you to participate in the 32nd International Symposium on Rarefied Gas Dynamics (RGD32) on July 13th-17th (Mon-Fri), 2020, in Seoul, South Korea.
Rarefied gas dynamics (RGD) is a multi-disciplinary field encompassing molecular physics of gases and thermodynamics, mathematics, computational simulation, and application of underpinning technology in various sectors. RGD32 will serve as a global platform to bring together the best of current work on diverse and emerging subjects in RGD like kinetic theory for complex systems, mesoscale and multiscale modeling, hypersonic glide vehicles, shale gases, and vapor deposition processes.
Since the first symposium in Nice, France in 1958, it has been held every other year worldwide. RGD32 in Seoul will be the first RGD symposium to be held in South Korea and will include four inspiring plenary lectures from the world’s leading experts:
Grad Lecturer: Dr. Tai-Ping Liu, Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica
Thomas Lecturer: Prof. Wim Ubachs, Physics and Astronomy and LaserLaB, Vrije University
Bird Lecturer: Prof. Deborah Levin, Aerospace Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
GNU-ERC Lecturer: Prof. Emer. Byung-Chan Eu, Chemistry, McGill University
Relevant topics include
□ Boltzmann and Related Equations
□ Kinetic Theory for Gases and Complex Systems
□ Numerical Methods for Kinetic Equations
□ PDE-based Computational Methods for Non-equilibrium Flows
□ DSMC and Related Simulations
□ Molecular Dynamics and Particle Methods
□ Mesoscale and Multiscale Modeling
□ Micro- & Nano-scale Flows and Heat Transfer
□ Porous Media Flows
□ Granular Flows and Aerosols
□ Multiphase Flows and Kinetic Modeling
□ Non-equilibrium Reacting Flows
□ Experimental Techniques for Non-equilibrium Flows
□ Hypersonic Facilities and Diagnostics
□ Space Vehicle Aerodynamics and Propulsion
□ Shock Waves in Rarefied Flows
□ Gas-Surface Interactions and Slip Flows
□ Vacuum Technology
□ Vapor Deposition Processes and Simulation
□ Molecular Beams and Collisions
□ Plasma Flows and Processes
□ Jets, Plumes and Surface Interaction
□ Radiation and Astrophysics
□ High-performance Computing in RGD
Papers will be selected based on a one-page abstract. The abstract template will be available on the RGD32 website by December 1st, 2019. Full manuscripts (not mandatory) will be solicited in August 2020. Manuscripts that are accepted after review will be published in AIP Conference Proceedings.
