For this Symposium, flight physics includes the science and technology of classical aerodynamics, thermodynamics and thermochemistry. The applications cover external flow over space vehicles and internal flow through vehicle propulsion systems. The speed range is from low subsonic, through transonic, to supersonic and hypersonic speeds.

In particular the following topics will be addressed:

• Application and validation of new aerodynamic simulation tools
• Development, application and validation of new experimental aerodynamic methodologies
• Prediction of Flight performance from ground based data
• Aero-acoustic characteristics & mechanisms of 3D jet flows
• Turbulence closure and modelling
• Prediction and active/passive control of vehicle flight loads
• Aerodynamics of unsteady flows
• Dynamics and structure of vortex dominated flows (including wake vortex); Dynamics of tightly coupled Aero-structure systems
• Active and Passive flow control for the suppression of drag and separation phenomena
• Aerodynamics of novel configuration
• Aerodynamics of novel high lift system
• Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds number vehicles
• Aerodynamics of Space Vehicles including Plume Interaction
• Physics and Chemistry of High-Speed Gas Flows
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Ground Testing Facilities
• Measurement Techniques and Instrumentation
• Flight Testing and flight measurement techniques
• Aerodynamics for Decelerators and Stabilisers
