Dear Colleague,<br>
<br>
Apologies for cross-posting.<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. <b>The
abstract submission deadline is 16 February 2015</b>. Please find
all details on the conference web page <a

You can also follow the conference on Twitter for updates and

<br>
<font color="#FF0000">Edinburgh will be <em>extremely busy</em>
during the conference. Please consider reserving accommodation
now, even before the abstract review decision - most providers
allow cancellation at no cost.</font><br>
<br>
Thanks to the generous support of NVIDIA, the Committees of
DSFD 2015 are pleased to offer an <b>award of one NVIDIA Tesla K40
GPGPU</b> (without a hosting system). In order to ensure the
greatest scientific benefit to the community, we will award this to
the best short research proposal submitted by a young researcher
(defined as a PhD/masters student or an untenured post-doctoral
researcher). The proposer must attend DSFD 2015 to be eligible. The
proposals will be assessed by members of the Committees based on the
scientific and computational impact of the proposed work. The
deadline for submission of the proposal is the close of regular
registrations (1 June 2015).<br>
<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>
