<b>First announcement:</b><br>
<br>
Dear Colleague,<br>
<br>
You are cordially invited to participate in the 24th International
Conference on Discrete Simulation of Fluid Dynamics (DSFD 2015)
which will take place in Edinburgh, UK on 13-17 July 2015. Please
find all details on the conference web page <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.dsfd2015.ed.ac.uk/home">www.dsfd2015.ed.ac.uk/home</a>
which is open for abstract submission. You can also follow the
conference on Twitter for updates and related information:

<br>
Topics emphasised at the conference include lattice Boltzmann
schemes, dissipative particle dynamics, smoothed-particle
hydrodynamics, direct simulation Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics,
quantum Monte Carlo methods, multiparticle collision dynamics and
hybrid methods. There will be sessions on advances in both theory
and computation, on engineering applications of discrete fluid
algorithms, and on fundamental issues in mathematical modelling,
numerical analysis, statistical mechanics, kinetic theory and
hydrodynamics and their applications in microscopic, nanoscale and
multiscale physics for emerging technologies. Other topics of
interest include theoretical and experimental work on interfacial
phenomena, droplets, free-surface flow, and micro- and nanofluidics.<br>
<br>
There will be an opportunity to submit papers for the proceedings.
Each proceedings submission will be rigorously peer-reviewed.<br>
<br>
