Brazil

• Promote research, and the exchange and diffusion of knowledge within the field of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering;
• Foster knowledge exchange among Universities, Research Institutes and Industry;
• Promote knowledge exchange with other technical and scientific institutes and associations in Brazil and abroad;
• Promote knowledge diffusion in Mechanical Sciences and Engineering through technical/scientific congress, symposia, conferences, courses and meetings.

The Brazil PC has currently 8 members and common research projects involve:

• Experimentation and phenomenological modeling of multiphase flow aiming to applications in the upstream oil & gas
  industry;
• Linear hydrodynamic stability theory applied to parallel separated flows, stratified and annular flow;
• Numerical simulation of two-phase flow: slug tracking and kinetics of hydrates formation;
• Numerical simulation of vortex shedding with turbulence modeling;
• Turbulence modeling based on non-Newtonian constitutive laws and coherent-structure identification;
• Subgrid modeling in large-eddy-simulations and error assessment strategy;
• Nanofluid Two-Phase Flow and Thermal Physics.
