Special Interest Groups (SIG)

ERCOFTAC Special Interest Groups form the second pillar of the Association. SIGs are composed of ERCOFTAC members working together on a well defined specific topic on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion.

Activities of Special Interest Groups:

Organisation of workshops, summer schools, conferences and courses
Comparison of Codes
Exchange of Research Results
Creation of Experimental and/or Numerical Data Bases
Organisation of Courses

ERCOFTAC Special Interest Groups are associated with at least two Pilot Centres, and have an international organising committee.
