International Advanced Course on Liquid Interfaces
Drops and Sprays

LIDESP is a well-known International Advanced Course meant to familiarise on the topic of Interfaces, Drops and Liquid Sprays Physics, which is held every year in different locations around the world. The core of the lecture plan is provided by three well-known and highly recognized experts in the field: Prof. Amirfazli, York University, Toronto, Canada, Prof. Bertola, University of Liverpool, UK, Prof. Marengo, University of Pavia, Italy. They not only deliver part of the instructional module, but also every year, depending on the venue, different modules of the program are taught by other international experts, under the coordination of the Host Directors.

LIDESP is not a workshop or a conference, it is an educational venue on the physics of liquid drops and sprays

Which is essential for many applications, from aeronautics (icing) to oil extraction (effervescent spray, drop collisions in pipes), from electronics (spray cooling) to agriculture (pesticide distribution), from microfluidics (droplet management) to painting processes (spray coating), from biology (blood droplets, sterilization) to thermal transfer (condensation in heat exchangers), from chemistry (drying tower) to medical applications.

The primary objective of this course is to deliver an indepth and didactic understanding of the physics of drops and sprays, drawing upon the latest research advancements and cutting-edge methodologies for predicting dynamic outcomes, heat transfer phenomena, wettability effects, and their broad range of applications in the realms of technology and industry. Moreover, this course places significant emphasis on the critical role of drops and sprays in chemical processes, recognizing their substantial industrial relevance. It is important to note that this course is designed to cater to individuals at an advanced academic level, comparable to that of a proficient Postgraduate or Ph.D. student. The content and rigor of the course are geared towards providing a comprehensive and intellectually demanding educational experience.

In addition to the aforementioned topics, this course also boasts a special segment dedicated to the captivating field of microfluidics and microdroplet control, particularly in the context of pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Participants will have the unique opportunity to explore the intricate dynamics and intricacies of microfluidics, uncovering its profound impact on the control and manipulation of microdroplets within the pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors.

The is addressed to scientists, professionals, company engineers, R&D managers and graduate students in the fields of Engineering, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Applied and Fundamental Sciences. The pre-requisites are a preparation in Mathematics and Physics equivalent to a Master Degree in Engineering. Physics or Chemistry and a good university preparation in fluid-dynamics and heat transfer. The course is sponsored by the European Institute of Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems (ILASS EUROPE) and the Italian company PNR Atomiser.
