During the 10th
PhD symposium, the VKI graduate students will review the
doctoral research carried out in the three departments of
the Institute: Aeronautics and Aerospace, Environmental and
Applied Fluid Dynamics, and Turbomachinery and Propulsion.
The first-year PhD students
will present a poster on their research plans and some
preliminary results. The second-year students will give a
15-minute talk on their research activities and progress
results followed by 5 minutes of questions. The other
students will give a 20-minute talk followed by 10 minutes
of questions. Prominent lecturers in three application
fields of fluid dynamics will give a keynote lecture opening
each day of the symposium.
The talks are organized in
sessions according to the following topics:“Aero-thermal
investigations in turbomachinery”, “Development of advanced
CFD and optimization”, “Aeroacoustics”, “Multiphase flows”,
“Numerical approach for hypersonic and plasma flows”,
“Electric propulsion”, “Stability and transition in
hypersonic flows” and “Ground and flight experiments.”
