Track Description: The focus of Fluids Applications and Systems Technical Committee (FASTC) is to promote the advancement and dissemination of fluids engineering research and technology in several wide-ranging single- and multi-disciplinary topic areas. These include such traditional disciplines as fluid power systems, turbomachinery, automotive flows, and industrial fluid mechanics, and can include less traditional topics such as environmental engineering, chemical processing, or fluid vibrations and acoustics. FASTC was formed in 1990 by combining the Fluid Machinery and Fluid Transients Committees, as well as the applications portion of the Fluid Mechanics Committee. The Fluid Mechanics Committee was founded in 1956, and the Fluid Machinery Committee was originally founded as the Pumping Machinery Committee in 1938. The Fluid Transients Committee evolved from the Waterhammer Committee, which was founded in 1931 as the first Technical Committee in the then Hydraulics Division (later Fluids Engineering Division) of ASME. Since the 1990 merger, FASTC has expanded its scope to include a broad range of traditional and emerging technology topics within the general area of applied fluids engineering. The FASTC is particularly interested in engaging professionals in industry as well as academia, and to increase the interaction among and between the two.

Topics: Fluid Machinery Symposium; Pumping Machinery Symposium; Atmospheric and Oceanic Flows; Automotive Flows Combustion; Environmental Flows; Industrial Fluid Mechanics; Fluid Power Systems; Multiphase Flow Applications; Propulsion; Rotating Machinery / Turbomachinery; Pipeline Transport in the Petroleum, Oil, and Gas Industry from Exploration to Delivery; FAS Poster Presentations; and FAS Graduate Student Scholarship Competition

Track Description: The Fluid Measurements and Instrumentation Technical Committee (FMITC) is focus on measurement techniques and instrumentation issues relevant to fluid flow including industrial applications and experimental development. Modern fluids engineering embraces a complex spectrum of problems from the relatively simple case of isothermal, incompressible, single phase flow of Newtonian fluids to non-Newtonian multiphase flow with heat and mass transfer from the nanoscale to the macroscale and includes subsonic and supersonic flows, flows pertaining to environmental concerns, and large scale industrial flows. In all cases, experimental data are acquired and used, amongst other objectives to: lead to new discoveries, obtain fundamental information on processes, verify new theories, guide and validate the development of analytical and numerical models, and certify the performance of fluid machinery. Areas of focus include: noninvasive measurement techniques, measurements in environmental flows, MEMS for Fluid Measurements, chemical and biochemical sensing, global flow measurements, microfluidic flow systems, and others.

Topics: Fluid Measurement and Instrumentation; Noninvasive Measurements in Single and Multiphase Flows; Fluid Dynamics of Wind Energy; Uncertainty Quantification in Flow Measurements; Novel Techniques in Fluid Mechanics; Volumetric or Tomographic Techniques in Fluids Mechanics; Data Processing / Algorithms in Fluid Measurements; Experimental Facilities in Fluid Mechanics; FMI Poster Presentation; and FMI Graduate Student Scholarship Competition

Track Description: The Multiphase Flow Technical Committee (MFTC) primary focus is the understanding of the mechanics of cavitation and its effects on machinery. Throughout the years the committee has broadened its scope to promote understanding and communication of all aspects of multiphase flow topics: liquid-gas flows, liquid-solids flows, gas-solids flows, or three phase flows. MFTC began as the Cavitation Committee in 1937 with L. F. Moody and R. T. Knapp as its first two chairs. The committee name was changed to the Polyphase Committee in 1972 and to its current name in 1982.

Topics: Numerical Methods for Multiphase Flows; Experimental Methods for Multiphase Flows; Cavitation; Gas-Liquid Flows; Liquid-Solid Flows; Gas-Solid Flows; Bubble, Droplet, and Aerosol Dynamics; Interfacial Phenomena and Flows; Erosion, Slurry, Sedimentation; Multiphase Flows in Petroleum Engineering; Multiphase Flows in Nuclear Engineering; Compressible Multiphase Flows (Turbulent Mixing); Open Forum on Multiphase Flows – Work in Progress; MF Poster Presentations; and MF Graduate Student Scholarship Competition

Track Description: The focus of the Computational Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee (CFDTC) is the field of computational fluid dynamics and related areas. CFD is primarily concerned with the numerical solution of the equations that describe fluid dynamics. It also often involves the related area of heat transfer. Areas of interest to the CFDTC include but are not limited to the development of algorithms for use with CFD, advanced techniques for the numerical representation of fluid flow, quantification of numerical error, verification and validation for CFD, practices and procedures for the accurate application of CFD, turbulence modeling and simulation and fundamental research and applications. The overall objective of the CFDTC is to develop, promote, coordinate and disseminate information relating to the successful and accurate application of CFD to problems of interest and importance to the research community as well as to industrial users and other practitioners.
