Programme
The UK Fluids Conference aims to bring together all those involved in fluid mechanics research in the UK. PhD students and post-doctoral researchers are encouraged to attend, as well as established researchers. There will be a lively programme of invited and contributed talks and poster sessions to foster communication amongst the community.
The UK Fluids Conference took place previously in London (ICL, 2016), Leeds (2017), Manchester (2018), Cambridge (2019), Southampton (online, 2021), and Sheffield (2022).
This year, the UK Fluids Conference will be co-hosted by the University of Glasgow and the University of Strathclyde, and will take place on the University of Strathclyde campus, in the centre of Glasgow.

Instructions for session chairs for parallel sessions
Each talk is allocated a 13-minute slot (10 minutes talks, two minutes questions, and one minute changeover). The role of session chairs is to keep the sessions to time. Chairs will provide short introduction of talks, invite and moderate questions and getting the next speaker set up. A synchronised clock will be available in each room to show presenting (10 min), Q&A (two min) and changeover (one min) time for each talk. Once the clock shows Q&A time, ask the presenter go to the last slide and conclude their talk. Chairs should be present from 5-10 minutes before the session to meet the session assistant and speakers. In the event that a speaker is absent, a gap should be left in the session so that the following talks start at the times stated in the programme. Chair should also complete the Student Prize Form at the end of their sessions.
