Abstract: The 9th Millennium International Symposium on Flow Visualization
(9misfv) was held in Edinburgh, Scotland from the 22nd August to the 25th
August 2000. The symposium attracted, by a significant amount, the largest
number of participants in the history of the symposium series. A total of 396
presentations were made at the symposium. These were distributed through 74
technical sessions covering a full spectrum of topics in 373 oral presentations
and 23 poster presentations. The symposium commenced with an opening address
and welcome to delegates by the Symposium Chairman, Professor I. Grant. The
technical presentations commenced with Professor G. M. Carlomagno giving the
invited Leonardo da Vinci Memorial Lecture entitled "Infrared Thermography: a
Particular Surface Flow Visualization Technique." Each day of the meeting
commenced with an invited Keynote lecture, given in plenary session, by a
recognised authority in the respective area. These were, in order of
presentation, Professor Toshio Kobayashi "High Performance Computation and
Visualization of Fluid Flows," Dr. Juergen Kompenhans "Qualitative and
Quantitative Visualization of Wake Vortices in Industrial Test Facilities,"
Professor Jim Whitelaw "Aspects of Unsteady Combustion" and Professor Mory
Gharib "On the Role of Flow Visualization in the Understanding of
Cardiovascular Fluid Dynamics: from da Vinci to Harvey." During the symposium
two awards were made to distinguished scientists. These were the Leonardo da
Vinci award to Professor Giovanni Carlomagno and the Asanuma award to Professor
Wolfgang Merzkirch.
