2019 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Turbulent and Reactive Flows and Flow Characterization

This session will focus on theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigations of transport phenomena in turbulent flows, and in flows where mixing and reactions play a central role. Contributions describing flow characterization are welcome.

Co-Chairs

Nicolas J. Alvarez, Drexel University
Cari S. Dutcher, University of Minnesota
