Thermal Sciences & Materials Workshop
16 August - 17 August, 2011
National Composites Center: Kettering, Ohio
Home
Welcome!
You are invited to attend the 2011 Thermal Sciences and Materials Conference, 16-17 August 2011 at the National Composites Center in Kettering, Ohio.
Objective of the Workshop:
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Thermal Sciences and Materials Branch (RXBT) is seeking novel solutions to Air Force thermal management challenges through new materials development, modeling and applications. This workshop will highlight current issues and research in thermal management sciences and materials for applications of interest to the Air Force. Invited experts from academia and industry will present their view of the state-of-the-art and fertile areas for future research. Invited experts from AFRL technical directorates will provide an overview of the near and long term challenges and anticipated thermal management needs for emerging Air Force systems. Researchers within the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate will present their latest results and planned research directions. RXBT will use the input from all participants to help focus thermal management R&D for FY12 and beyond. It is anticipated that new lines of research will be developed, current efforts will be fine-tuned, and collaborative research areas will be initiated. This workshop is open to all interested researchers, and will be Distribution A: Unlimited Distribution.
Who Should Attend:
Anyone with an interest in thermal management sciences and materials for aerospace applications should consider attending this workshop. It will be an excellent forum for finding areas of future collaboration with the AFRL, as well as providing information to RXBT personnel concerning system requirements, on-going research, and technical issues in thermal management. We anticipate attendees from the defense industry, other government organizations, and universities performing related research.
