Abstract: The 7th International Symposium on Fluid Control, Measurement and
Visualization (FLUCOME'03) was held in Sorrento, Italy, from the 25th to the
28th of August 2003. The Symposium attracted, by far, one of the largest number
of participants in the history of the meeting. The 232 presented papers were
distributed in 52 Technical Sessions which covered the very broad range of
topics indicated in the Keywords. At the beginning of each working day, a speaker, selected among
renowned specialists, delivered an authoritative lecture in Plenary Session.
Prof. W. Merzkirch discussed Fluid Mechanical Problems in Flow Metering, Prof.
C.J. Chen described Some Aspects of Nanotechnology, Microtechnology and
Biomedical Applications, and Dr. A. Cogotti treated From Steady-State to
Unsteady Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics. The Evolution of the Testing
Environment in the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel while Prof. B.T. Zinn reported on
The Real Time Control of the Lean Blow Out Limit in Pre-Mixed Combustors for
Reduced NOx Emissions. On the last day, Prof. A. Tamir entertained the audience
