International Workshop on Physical Modelling of Flow and Dispersion Phenomena

September 3-5, 2001 in Hamburg University, Germany

Workshop objectives:

In order to explore and to discuss the latest achievements in physical modelling of flow and dispersion phenomena, a workshop will be held at Hamburg University. It is intended to provide a forum for discussion of research results, information exchange and establishment/reactivation of personal contacts between wind tunnel or water flume laboratories around the world. In addition to the regular program of oral presentations, a poster session will be organized.

Topics covered:

The workshop is intended to focus primarily on physical modelling of environmental flow and dispersion phenomena. The subject of contributions will cover current topics like

• improvement / validation of boundary layer modelling techniques,
• new measurement techniques and their application in the investigation of flow and dispersion phenomena,
• basic investigations of the structure of flow and dispersion processes in turbulent boundary layers,
• generation of validation data for numerical flow and dispersion models,
• application of physical modelling techniques in applied research (urban type flow and dispersion problems, odour dispersion,
• pedestrian wind comfort, ventilation of built-up areas, biogenic emissions, accidental releases, modelling of topographic effects, etc..
