FLIGHT PHYSICS for Aircraft and Launch Vehicles including Re-Entry Bodies
Chairs: M. Ivanov (ITAM), D. Knight (Rutgers Univ.), I. Lipatov (TsAGI), P. Reijasse (Onera)
The Flight Physics Symposium addresses all aspects of aerodynamics relevant to aircrafts and UAVs, missiles and projectiles, launchers, and re-entry vehicles. Aero-acoustics will be also examined for aeronautical applications with a special focus to landing and take-off flight phases of aircraft. Topics will deal both with external and internal flows since aerodynamics or aero-acoustics are the main concern of the symposium. Papers will privilege at least one of the following three approaches: physical understanding, theoretical analysis, and/ or the development of control technologies and control methodologies applied to aeronautical or aerospace flows. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers in the fields of:
Low and high-speed flows, unsteady aerodynamics, generation/ propagation and control of vehicle noise, boundary layer transition, flow separation, flow instability, turbulence, vortex dynamics, shock interactions, plasma flows, MHD flows, flow control by energy deposition, flow control using MEMS and nanotechnologies, fluid/ wall heat transfer, experimental diagnostics, aerodynamic measurements, advances in wind tunnel testing and ground test capabilities, in-flight/ airborne testing, innovative aerodynamic configurations, aerodynamic optimisation techniques, buffet and wing aerodynamics, advanced CFD tools, continuum methods for rarefied flows, real gas flow physics.

PROPULSION PHYSICS for Air-Breathing and Rocket Engines
Chairs: L. De Luca (Politecnico di Milano), S. Frolov (RAS), O. Haidn (TU München)
The Propulsion Physics Symposium will cover all aspects of air-breathing and space propulsion, spanning from new developments in engines and propellants to modeling and testing. Topics range from basic research and development to applied studies, using experimental, theoretical and/ or advanced numerical methods, with a special focus on fundamental physical understanding. Papers are solicited in the fields of:
Air-breathing propulsion (alternative fuels, supersonic/ hypersonic aircraft propulsion, scramjet/multi- mode ramjet, modified and combined cycles, pulsed detonation engines, propulsion system aspects), Launch Vehicle Propulsion (solid, liquid, gaseous, gel, and hybrid propellants), in-space propulsion (chemical, electric and nuclear engines; solar radiation; beamed energy; micro-propulsion; propellant-less techniques; on-board power), propulsion aspects of space debris, propellant injection and ignition, combustion fundamentals, combustion stability, combustion modeling, heat transfer and cooling technologies for propulsion devices, thrust nozzles, turbo-machines for air-breathing and rocket engine.
