INSPIRE Fellows at ICJWSF 2024, 23-25 September, Florence

21 October 2024

The eighth edition of the International Conference on Jets Wakes and Separated Flows (ICJWSF2024) was successfully held in Florence on September 23-25. The program featured 60 papers presented in 17 sessions and 6 invited plenary lectures. Stimulating discussions characterized the proceedings of the three-day conference which was enlivened by a fantastic leisure activities programme. U. Sandri, R. Ezekwesili, H. Wei, T. Goillard, C. Runnoo and S. R. Sridara attended the event and presented their papers. Conference proceedings are openly available on the conference website (https://lnkd.in/d4Q65ZF9). A selection of the most valuable works will be invited to contribute to a special issue on Flow Turbulence and Combustion.
