Non-equilibrium gas flows are of great importance and touch almost every industrial field. They concern a lot of technological applications, e.g. fluidic micro actuators for active control of aerodynamic flows, vacuum generators, flow and temperature micro-sensors, pressure gauges, micro gas analyzers, micro heat-exchangers for cooling of electronic components or for the thermal control of chemical processes and porous media. In non-equilibrium gas transport phenomena, the role played by the interaction between the gas and the solid surface, as well as between the gas molecules, becomes essential and there are still many issues to be resolved in order to advance technological achievements and design optimization.
The conference aims to advance technological and research opportunities in non-equilibrium gas flows, by fostering, increasing cooperation and promoting knowledge exchange between researchers and engineers in universities, research centers and industrial companies engaged in this field.
The triannual NEGF conference series was originated in 2012, organized by the University of Thessaly at Skiathos island, Greece, followed by the events at Eindhoven University of Technology, in 2015 and at the University of Strasbourg, in 2018 (NEGF18), while the next event was postponed due the coronavirus pandemia. All events have been very successful, attracting each time about 60-100 participants.
Now that the COVID pandemic situation is essentially improved worldwide, it is planned to organize the 4th European Conference on Non-Equilibrium Gas Flows, at Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands, from 29 to 31 March 2023.
The topics of NEGF23 are as follows:
- Rarefied gas flows and heat transfer
- Non-equilibrium transport phenomena, kinetic theory and modeling
- Micro and nano gas flows and heat transfer
- Aerothermodynamics of high speed flows
- Gas-surface interaction
- Gas separation and mixing
- Evaporation, condensation, adsorption, deposition
- Two-phase microflows
- Sensors, actuators, pumps, heat exchangers and other devices involving non-equilibrium gas conditions
- Processes, equipment and systems in non-equilibrium gas conditions
- Gaseous microfluidics and fluidic microsystems involving gases
In each of these topics new developments will be presented, concerning modelling and simulation, experimental techniques and measurements, as well as associated devices, materials and manufacturing techniques.
