Sectional lectures

The scientific program will consist of plenary opening and closing lectures, sectional lectures, mini-symposia, and contributed papers presented in lecture and seminar presentation sessions. Invitations to present contributed papers will be made on the recommendation of the International Papers Committee, based on their review of submitted abstracts and short papers.

Two additional lectures will be presented by the recipients of the Batchelor Prize in Fluid Mechanics and the Rodney Hill Prize in Solid Mechanics. These prizes will be presented for the first time at the Congress.

The text of the opening and closing lectures, sectional lectures and mini-symposia introductory lectures will be printed in the Congress Proceedings to be published by Springer. All accepted Short Papers will be published on the CD-ROM Proceedings.
