ILASS-2007 is the 20th Annual Conference on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems, North and South America. Like previous ILASS conferences, it provides a venue for industrialists, researchers, academics, and students engaged in the scientific development and practice of atomization and spray processes to meet and share recent developments in the field. In addition, the 2007 conference will include a retrospective of the last 20 years of our organization and activities and events to ensure we provide a solid technology base for spray researchers for the next 20 years.
All aspects of atomization and spray processes will be covered, including:
- Instrumentation related to sprays for drop size, drop velocity and impact, drop concentration, patternation, film thickness, vapor concentration, etc.
- Modeling of flow phenomena inside and outside of atomizers, including CFD.
- Design, operation, and performance of liquid atomizers and spray systems.
- Transfer processes in which liquid sprays are used, such as in spray reactors, spray dryers, humidifiers, spray coating, spray combustion, fire fighting sprays, agricultural applications, pressure back sprays for domestic or medical use, and atomization for metal powders and spray forming.
The ILASS-Americas 2007 Conference will include:
- Tutorial sessions representing a discussion of topics of broad interest to the spray community
- Technical sessions at which state-of-the-art research and methods are presented.
- Manufacturer's exhibits showing the latest instrumentation and hardware in the field.
- Technical committee meetings enabling participants to engage in specific topical discussions in areas of personal interest.
Banquet
The annual banquet will take place on May 17 at the Field Museum in downtown Chicago. Eat and socialize near Sue, the world’s largest, most complete, and most famous T.Rex!
