Overview

IChemE's Fluid Mixing Processes Special Interest Group is organising a one-day research showcase to bring together academic and industrial practitioners, doctoral students and early career researchers working in the areas of fluid mixing, turbulence, bio/chemical reactions, transport processes. The purpose of the meeting is to review advances in fundamental understanding of the underlying processes, present novel experimental and computational approaches and their application to the chemical, bio/pharmaceutical, biomedical, food and drink, water and environmental industries.

The topics presented will include single/multi-phase flow and mixing at different scales, numerical methods, scaling and microfluidics approaches, up and downstream equipment design and operation, and various aspects of the application of mixing technology to manufacturing.

The event will host the annual research student competition where the FMPSIG will award the UK Young Doctoral Researcher and Early Career Researcher Awards for Mixing 2021. The prize will support the winners’ participation at a relevant conference this year.

Call for abstracts

The call for abstract is now open for students and researchers, please send a 500 words abstract to m.micheletti@ucl.ac.uk by 18 June 2021. Accepted abstracts from postgraduate students enrolled in a doctoral programme at a UK Higher Education Institution and UK-based Early Career researchers will be automatically entered for the prizes.

Time

10:00—16:00 BST.

Software

The presentation will be delivered via Microsoft Teams.

Please note that the session link will be sent a couple of hours before the webinar begins.
