June 7th – 8th, 2016, Skempton Building 207, Imperial College London, UK
In association with the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Fluid Dynamics across Scales, and PRISM

Objective

The purpose of this meeting is to bring together the Nektar++ developers and design time with users of any experience level within the broader community.  This two day workshop will feature talks providing an overview of Nektar++, discussions on the current design roadmap, tutorials on how to use some of the more recently added and/or requested features within Nektar++ (such as high-order mesh generation and parallelism), and presentations by those adapting and using Nektar++ for pushing the boundaries of their own scientific and engineering disciplines.

Location

The workshop will be held in the Skempton Building, on the South Kensington Campus of Imperial College London in central London.

Getting to campus

Directions to campus are available from the Imperial College website. The nearest London Underground stations are South Kensington and Gloucester Road, which lie on the Piccadilly, Circle and District lines.

Getting to Skempton

The Skempton building is marked as building 28 on the South Kensington campus map. Skempton is located on Imperial College Road, which can be accessed from Exhibition Road. From South Kensington station, take the underground walkway, past the V&A exit, to the end of the tunnel. Turn left onto Exhibition Road and then immediately left onto Imperial College Road. The entrance to Skempton is located on the right hand side of the road and is clearly marked.

Rooms

Each day’s talks will be in separate rooms:

  • June 7-8th: The first day’s talks will be held in lecture hall 207, which is up one flight of stairs from the main entrance.
  • June 8-9th: The group sessions on the second day will be in seminar room 062, which is one floor down from the main entrance.

Floor plans of Skempton can be found in the links above. Signs will also be posted to the seminar room from the main entrance.

Accommodation

Imperial College is located in central London and well within reach of a wide variety of hotels. Imperial has a number of suggestions which you can find on the main College website.

Cost

The workshop is free but accommodation and the Dinner is not covered and expected to be paid by the person attending.
