The Royal Aeronautical Society is organizing a 3 days event in Bristol (see venue here) the 24-26 July. This Future of Aerodynamics conference will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of aspects of the advancement of the aerodynamic disciplines and their application in a civil and military context through current research, nearer term conception and longer term design and operations. The 2018 Royal Aeronautical Society biennial Applied Aerodynamics Research Conference will also mark the 100th anniversary of the formation of the RAF. Program available here. |

EUROMECH is organizing its Colloquium 598 on Coherent structures in wall-bounded turbulence: new directions in a classic problem that will be held the 29-31 August at the Imperial College - London, UK. Coherent structures have been an hot topic of investigation in turbulent research for years. Recently, there has been a growing body of evidence that the dynamics of the newly discovered coherent structures at high Reynolds numbers may well be approached with suitable extensions of the theoretical tools used for transition and for low-Reynolds-number turbulence. This emerging topic provides many important new opportunities for the development of novel low-dimensional descriptions of high Reynolds number turbulent flows, while establishing an integrated view on transition and turbulence in a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The scope of the proposed Euromech colloquium is to explore this topic by bringing together a group of experts in transition and turbulence of wall-bounded shear flows. The latest results on both transition and turbulence will be presented with the particular aim to address important current challenges and future directions in theory, computation and experiment. |

EUROMECH is organizing its 12th European Fluid Mechanics Conference (EFMC) that will be held the 9-13 September 2018 at TU Wien, Vienna, Austria. EFMC is organized biennially under the auspices of EUROMECH and covers all fields of fluid mechanics. Since the inaugural meeting in Cambridge 1991 the EFMC has evolved to the main fluid mechanics conference in Europe. It provides the opportunity to meet and discuss with the leading scientists in the field. We are proud to host this important event in Vienna in 2018 and invite you to be become part of it. The organization team is working hard to make the conference successful and to make your participation a great experience. |

Patents of Interest
The following patents have been selected from the EPO database using the following criteria: "PUA12 >= 20180101" and selecting a few interesting patents in our field. In this case, this means all patents whose A1/A2 documents both have been published after January 1, 2018. Since patents can be filed towards different organizations, sometimes the data available in the EPO database (the version available for free online) is not the most complete. In that case an external link is used.

How to browse the EPO patent list
There are different tools online to browse/search patents, for example google and the wipo. Here we will be using the EPO Patent information services for experts, from this address. It is possible to browse patents based on many parameters, inventor name, applicant/proprietor (usually a company), application date, etc. etc. In the future we will consider patents that have published their A1/A2 documents since the date of the last newsletter.
The definition of A1 and A2 are available here.
- Basically when a European patent application is published together with the search report done by the agency, it is known as an A1 publication. When this application is published without the search report, it is an A2 document.
- The search report is then published later as an A3 document.
- When the patent is granted, it is published as a B document.
