Register in Advance for Computational Modeling of Materials, Minerals, and Metals
TMS Fall Extraction & Process Metallurgy Meeting – COMPUTATIONAL MODELING OF MATERIALS, MINERALS, AND METALS PROCESSING
September 23-26, 2001
Hilton San Diego Resort, San Diego, California
This international conference will bring together all those involved in computational modeling of materials, minerals, and metals processing. Materials, metals, and minerals processing technologies are complex and demand a fine balance of competing mechanisms. The only really effective way to design, analyze, and optimize these processes is through the development and exploitation of computational models. Such models have to reflect all the component physics and chemistry and their interactions, plus the engineering constraints with respect to materials and implementation. Increasingly, computational modeling is the means by which all the factors that affect the operation of a process can be analyzed in a rational manner. Such models also represent a framework for our understanding of process operations.
Outstanding sessions being presented during this three-day conference include CFD Modeling, Heat & Mass Transfer, Optimization in Novel Methods, Melting & Solidification, Thermo-Mechanical Modeling, and Thermo-Mechanical Processing. The plenary session topics presented will be "Multi-Physics Modeling of Casting Processes", "MHD Modeling in Metals Processing", "Optimization in Materials Processing", "Structure in Materials Processing", "CFD in Metals Processing", "Macro-Micro Structure Modeling in Solidification Processing" and "Thermo-Mechanical Modeling in Materials Processing".
TMS IS TAKING ADVANCE REGISTRATIONS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 4, 2001. Register in advance to receive $75 off the on-site fee. Make reservations to stay at the Hilton San Diego; THE HOUSING DEADLINE IS AUGUST 24, 2001.
