Effective and efficient fluid mixing technologies are being developed for a wide variety of industrial processes. Understanding the physics behind underlying phenomena and the development of mixing control strategies is important to a broad range of engineering and scientific disciplines. The proposed forum will provide a platform for engineers and scientists to meet and present recent advances in the fluid mechanics, heat and mass transport aspects of mixing. Papers reporting on advances related to all aspects of mixing are solicited. The papers can be experimental, numerical and/or analytical studies. The application of advanced diagnostic techniques or computational tools to study industrially relevant processes are especially welcomed. The papers may include, but are not necessarily limited to, topics such as:
- Turbulent mixing
- Transitional mixing
- Single and multiphase systems
- Mixing of shear sensitive materials
- Mixing in industrial processing devices
- Mixing in Microfluidic systems
- Mixing in viscous systems
- Reactive mixing and transport
- Mixing of non-Newtonian fluids
- Mixing in bio-reactors
- Mixing in propulsion systems
