FIFTH CONFERENCE ON BLUFF BODY WAKES AND VORTEX-INDUCED VIBRATIONS – BBVIV-5
Costa do Sauípe – Bahia 12 – 15 December 2007
www.mae.cornell.edu/bbviv5

PROGRAM

This series of Symposia on Bluff Body Wakes and Vortex-Induced Vibrations provides a stimulating and constructive forum for researchers specializing on the problems of fixed and vibrating bluff body flows. The formal sessions consist of single sessions including invited talks with ample time outside the formal sessions for participants to meet in a convivial atmosphere.

The Symposium on Bluff Body Wakes and Vortex-Induced Vibrations (BBVIV-5) will follow the spirit set in the Forum on Advances in the Understanding of Bluff Body Wakes and Vortex-Induced Vibrations (BBVIV-1), which was part of the 1998 ASME-FED Summer Meeting in Washington DC, the IUTAM Symposium on Bluff Body Wakes and Vortex-Induced Vibrations (BBVIV-2) held in Marseille in 2000, the Symposium on Bluff Body Wakes and Vortex-Induced Vibrations (BBVIV-3) held in Port Douglas in 2002, and the last conference held in Santorini in June 2005 (BBVIV-4).

The Symposium will take place over four days, starting on Wednesday, 12 December 2007 and ending on Saturday, 15 December 2007. It will consist of single plenary sessions with invited lectures (40 minutes), oral presentations (20 minutes), poster presentations (3 minutes), and discussions on special topics. Selected papers from the conference will be invited to be published in the Journal of Fluids and Structures.
