20th IUVSTA School on Vacuum Gas Dynamics

The 20^th IUVSTA School on Vacuum Gas Dynamics will be held from 17 to 21 September 2023 in Porquerolles (France).
This school is organized for:

• Scientists, PhD students and engineers from the Universities, Research Centers and Industry
• Persons who need gas dynamics in their work but are not experts in Rarefied Gas Dynamics, as well as for beginners in this field

The school aims to fill the gap between complicated specialized literature and practical needs, guide in field of rarefied gas dynamics, show relevant methods for practical applications.

10 lectures and 8 practical sessions will be delivered during 3,5 days on the following topics:

• Main concepts and terminology of kinetic theory and rarefied gases
• State of the art of rarefied gas dynamics
• Analytical and numerical methods to model gas dynamics processes in vacuum systems
• Experimental methods of rarefied gas dynamics
• Design of large vacuum systems
• Modeling of pumps, gauges, vacuum-related industrial processes
• Vacuum metrology
