7th 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 2021.
Program
Due to COVID-19, we will be conducting the conference virtually with the following format. Presenters will present their research for no more than ten minutes in length. This presentation can take any form you would like, including but not limited to: oral presentation with slides, video of experiment or simulation, or fluids demonstration. Presentations will be categorized in different sessions based on subject matter, and after each presentation, the moderator will facilitate two minutes of Q&A from the audience and video comments. 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 2021 can be found below.

Abstract Submission
Abstracts are requested for oral presentations in all areas of fluid mechanics. Oral presentations are a maximum of ten minutes long with an additional 2 minutes for questions and discussion. As part of its educational mission, all talks at RMFM 2021 will be delivered by undergraduate, graduate, or postdoctoral researchers.
Abstracts are limited to a 1300 character maximum and should be uploaded here by 11:59pm Mountain Time on Tuesday, July 20, 2021. Abstract submissions must include the following components:
Lead authors and presenters are limited to one submission. Questions may be directed to info@rockymountainfluids.org.
Organizing Committee
In addition, Mike Meehan, Tyler Souders, and Sam Simons-Wellin from the University of Colorado, Boulder will serve as the student organizers for RMFM 2021.
