Conference Format The International Conference on Fluid Control, Measurements and Visualizations (FLUCOME) is an international forum which provides an opportunity to world-wide researches and engineers in all areas of Fluid Control and Measurements.

Since the first FLUCOME conference held in Japan in 1985, the subsequent events have successfully taken place in Europe, North American, and Asia. The 15th International Conference on Fluid Control, Measurements and Visualizations (FLUCOME 2019) will be held on May 27-30, 2019, at the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy.

The conference will provide a forum for researchers and engineers to exchange the latest developments and applications of flow control, measurements and visualization in various fields, from large to nano scales, in order to enhance better understanding and development of sciences and technologies in fluids. Relevant scientists, researchers and engineers are attending to take advantage of this opportunity to submit and present their research work and interact with other experts in the field.

Hosting Institution The University of Naples Federico II was established in 1224 through an Imperial Charter of Frederick II Hohenstaufen, King of Sicily and Holy Roman Emperor. It is the first publicly funded university in Europe. Nowadays, the university offers courses in essentially all academic disciplines, leading to one-hundred-fifty-five graduate level degrees. Research facilities provide support to all these courses. Students are given the opportunity to pursue intellectual development as well as the acquisition of professional skills. Current student enrolment nears 97,000 and the academic personnel, at this time, is 3,121. Its School of Engineering is one of the oldest and largest in Italy. The first school of Engineering was set in Naples in 1811 during the Napoleonic occupation of the Kingdom of Naples. Joachim Murat, King of Naples and Napoleon brother-in-law, decreed the foundation of the “Scuola di Applicazione di Ponti e Strade”. In 2011 the Faculty has celebrated the 200th anniversary of its foundation.

The Aerospace Division of Department of Industrial Engineering has a long tradition dating its roots back in 1926, when Gen. Prof. Umberto Nobile, famous designer, pilot of airships and polar explorer, established the Laboratory of Aeronautical Structures. About ninety years of continuing research and developments have built a solid and recognized tradition of excellence based upon a strong relationship between the academic community, the aerospace industry and the research centres, locally and internationally.

Venue FLUCOME 2019 will be convened at the University of Naples Federico II Conference Centre, located on the Naples waterfront, which offers an ideal location with a superb view of the Naples gulf. It is a first-class venue offering superb flexibility and versatility, allowing the entire program for the FLUCOME 2019 conference to be comfortably accommodated in one floor and the relative mezzanine level.
