Programme of events
Competition for new and soon-to-graduate PhDs in Fluid Mechanics.
The organising committee would like to invite you to join us for Osborne Reynolds Day 2022, on Friday 1st July. The event is free to all academics, PGRs and researchers across the UK. It provides an opportunity to network with the UK fluid mechanics community and to hear the latest exciting research themes and developments, directly from new or soon-to-graduate PhDs.
The programme will include a keynote lecture by Professor Richard Wilden, from Oxford University, and the top six doctoral presentations which have been selected, through a complex two-stage review of all the submitted abstracts, by a distinguished reviewing panel.
For those wishing to join us, please fill in the registration form so we can estimate the catering, dietary, and access requirements.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the new state-of-the-art Engineering and Materials Building.
