8th Annual Rocky Mountain Fluid Mechanics Research Symposium

The Rocky Mountain Fluid Mechanics (RMFM) Research Symposium is a local technical meeting bringing together students, faculty, and professional researchers with a common interest in fluid mechanics. The primary purpose of the symposium is to provide student researchers along the Colorado Front Range and the greater Rocky Mountain Region the opportunity to present and discuss their work in a casual setting. Oral presentations are encouraged from interested students, but a presentation is not required to attend the meeting.

Please contact info@rockymountainfluids.org if you would like more information about RMFM 2022.

Program

We are pleased to announce that the 8th Annual RMFM Research Symposium will occur in-person at the University of Colorado, Boulder East Campus in the beautiful Aerospace Engineering Sciences Building. Presenters will present their research for no more than 10 minutes in length, allowing 2 minutes for Q&A from the audience. There will be three presentations occurring simultaneously, and the presentations will be sorted into sessions based on theme. The presentations should follow a slide format, but the presenters are encouraged to include images, videos, and/or demonstations within their slideshows. Laptop connections with projectors will be provided. Additional events during the conference will include a keynote speaker and a panel discussion on diversity.

The technical program and schedule, including keynote title and abstract, for RMFM 2022 can be found below.
