Tuesday, July 30th, 2013
Academic guests from around the world attended the conference
YEREVAN-Guests from 17 different countries gathered at the American
University of Armenia (AUA) for the 22nd International Conference on
the Discrete Simulation of Fluid Dynamics (DSFD).
More than 60 participants from all over the world traveled to
Armenia to partake in the conference. The DSFD Conference gave
participants the opportunity not only to exchange ideas, but also to
experience Armenia. AUA President Dr. Bruce M. Boghosian explains,
"These scientists came from North and South America, Europe, Asia
and the Middle East, and it was very good for them to see Armenia
and hear talks from leading Armenian scientists. It was also good
to see Armenian students in the audience, from local departments of
mathematics, science and engineering."
The five-day program featured daily lecture series, which allowed
participants and members of the AUA community to share their own work
in the field of fluid dynamics. Dr. Alexander Wagner from North Dakota
State University shares, "The importance of conferences like these
is that scientists can meet each other, and discuss and exchange ideas.
Indeed, scientists can always publish articles in magazines, but it's
quite different to meet and share our ideas. Such forums are also a
good opportunity to meet Armenian scientists, particularly because
we don't often have the opportunity to be in contact with them."
Participant Dr. Peter Love from Haverford College also noted the value
of meeting AUA students: "I had a long discussion with a master's
student about a research problem of mutual interest in quantum
information that was very interesting. In fact, we are continuing our
discussion and I hope we can work together on this problem via email."
The DSFD Conference takes place every year in a different part of the
world. Dr. Boghosian says, "The DSFD conference is one of the leading
annual international conferences on the computer simulation of fluids.
This kind of simulation is very important in many industries. The most
obvious examples are the automotive, aerospace and ship construction
industries, where air flow and water flow play an important role."
Because many participants had never visited Armenia, the conference
also had a cultural component, including visits to cultural attractions
both inside and outside of Yerevan. Dr. Sauro Succi from L'Istituto
Applicazioni del Calcolo says, "The outdoor tours offered another face
of Armenia, the ancient monasteries, precious churches and the heart
of Armenia's culture. Last, but not least, the beauty and natural
elegance of Mount Ararat. All, very, very impressive."
Founded in 1991, the American University of Armenia (AUA) is a
private university located in Yerevan, Armenia and affiliated with
the University of California. AUA provides higher education in Armenia
and the region, offering graduate and undergraduate studies.
