The full program is viewable online, and the schedule is available for download. A synopsis of the scheduled events is also available.

The scientific program will include four award lectures, eight invited lectures, minisymposia and focused sessions, contributed papers, poster sessions, exhibits and the Gallery of Fluid Motion poster and video entries. Over 2200 contributed abstracts, divided into up to 30 concurrent sessions, are anticipated.

Awards Program

Each year the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics presents the Fluid Dynamics Prize, the Francois Frenkiel Award, the Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award, and the recently instituted Stanley Corrsin Award. The 2012 award winners, each one of whom will give a lecture at the meeting, will be announced in the Fall.
