Short Course of Atomization and Sprays

Our colleagues at the Center of Smart Interfaces (CSI), at the TU Darmstadt in Germany are organizing a short course of atomization and sprays from the 15th to the 18th February 2016.

This course is directed towards practicing engineers and researchers involved in R&D and the application of spray systems. For those with little previous background, the course begins with fundamentals of atomization and proceeds through theoretical, experimental, numerical and application topics.

The course website at www.csi.tu-darmstadt.de/kasi provides all useful info including the registration procedure, below the course announcement.
