Professor Milanovic Presents at ASME Conference

Dr. Ivana Milanovic, associate professor of Mechanical Engineering, and Khaled J. Hammad of Dantec Dynamics presented two papers at the American Society of Mechancial Engineers (ASME) Fluids Engineering Division Summer Meeting (FEDSM) this month in Vail, Colorado. The research studies, “FEDSM2009–78318: Flow Structure in the Near-Wall Region of a Submerged Impinging Jet” and FEDSM2009–78398: APOD Study of an Impinging Jet Flowfield,” reported on the turbulent flow structure and proper orthogonal decomposition modal analysis of an impinging jet flow field and their relevance to various thermal control strategies.

Dr. Milanovic also co-organized the Fifth Symposium on Fundamental Issues and Perspectives in Fluid Mechanics and the Second Symposium on Transport Phenomena in Mixing.

The FEDSM Annual Conference provides a forum for the exchange of information on fluids engineering for engineers from around the world. The conference addresses a range of topics in analysis, numerical methods, and experiments in fluid mechanics. Dr. Milanovic’s presentation was made possible through funding provided by WELFund, a legacy of Hartford College for Women.
