CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A SYMPOSIUM

µ FLUIDS 96
APPLICATION OF MICROFABRICATION TO
FLUID MECHANICS

ASME Fluids Engineering Division
1996 WINTER ANNUAL MEETING, ATLANTA, GA
November 17-22, 1996

The Fluid Mechanics Technical Committee of the Fluids Engineering Division of ASME is sponsoring the second symposium on the Application of Microfabrication to Fluid Mechanics. The symposium will be held jointly with the MEMS meeting being organized by the ASME Dynamics, Systems and Controls Division.


The purpose of the symposium is to provide a means of reporting the latest developments on the uses of MEMS technology to problems in fluid mechanics and on flow related issues associated with MEMS devices. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

€ Flow Sensors - Pressure, Velocity, Shear, Temperature, etc. High Reynolds Numbers, Subsonic and Supersonic Flows, Harsh Environments

€ Fluid Actuators - Micro-Jets, Micro-Pumps, etc., Modeling, etc.

€ Flow/Turbulence Control and MEMS - Arrays of Distributed Sensors and Actuators, Control Systems, Electro-Magnetic Turbulence Control in Sea Water, Models for Flow Control Using MEMS

€ Bio-Fluid Dynamics - Cytometry, Micro-Rheology, Micro-Bio-Processing

€ Chemical Processing - Species Separation, Chemical and Thermal Reactions, Flow Based Analysis Systems, etc.

€ Experimental and Fabrication Techniques

€ Numerical Simulation of Micro-Flows

Papers will be peer reviewed. Prospective authors are asked to submit three copies of a two-page abstract to the organizers. Accepted papers will be published in a bound volume available at the meeting.
