General Conference Description:
The Fluids in Yosemite Conference 2024 will be a two-day meeting aimed at furthering collaborations between researchers in Fundamental Fluid Dynamics, broadly defined. Several speakers will give presentations on their work, and all participants will have ample time to forge relationships. The meeting will be hosted by UC Merced, in one of its field station within Yosemite National Park. Participants will come from institutions in Central and Northern California.
In addition to fostering collaborations between faculty, this meeting will benefit postdocs and graduate students by exposing them to a broader range of research perspectives, and allowing them to form connections within their research community. Moreover, it will provide them with an opportunity to present their own research, thereby increasing their own visibility and improving their career prospects.
Format: Presentations take the form of short talks (20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions and transition). A poster session will also be held for graduate students.
