Researchers and engineers exchange new ideas and experiences in over 100 papers and lectures on experimental and computational fluid dynamics, environmental applications, free surface flows, multi-phase flows, heat transfer, and combustion. The tone of the collection is set by keynote presentations covering recent advances in modeling turbulent flows using a finite element method, flow measurement and control by micro-electro-mechanical systems, and coherent motions and their role in transport processes in a wall turbulent shear flow. Other topics include the unsteady flow structure of a backward-facing step, a numerical method for modeling turbulent mixing across a stably stratified interface, turbulence in the Jordan River, and the simulation of the combustion process in a research combustor.

This collection of symposium essays is divided into four sections: experimental fluid dynamics; computational fluid dynamics; environmental applications and free surface flows; and multiphase flows, heat transfer and combustion.
