Geoscientists and engineers are very comfortable using seismic data sets acquired with geophones, hydrophones, and accelerometers because we have a long, well-defined set of standards for acquiring, processing, and interpreting them. However, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) seismic measurements are rapidly augmenting, and in some cases replacing, the data from these conventional tools. Technologists are frequently unaccustomed to using DAS seismic data sets since it directly acquires relative strain or strain rate measurements and not the more familiar pressure, displacement, velocity, and acceleration data. There are also acquisition parameter selections that must be made to optimize the acquired data to accomplish the purpose of the seismic survey. This course is designed to build an intuition and understanding of the value, limitations, and applications of DAS seismic technology. In addition to the lecture and accompanying book, software will be provided, which will allow the student to interactively explore DAS seismic technology.

Ground testing facilities have been used since long in aeronautics and aerospace, as they have been developed for environmental and industrial applications. Nowadays they are still major sources of key data for investigations in all fields of fluid dynamics. This hybrid lecture series (online / on-site) is organized for student and engineers to provide a general understanding of the design, operation and application of ground testing facilities from all speed regimes. Experimental methodology is exposed as well as the interpretation of the data and their extrapolation to real situation. The course includes an on-site presentation of the VKI facilities during a lab visit (for on-site participation only). A question/answer session will be organized for the online participants. The schedule of this session will be communicated later. This Lecture series is based on the long tradition and experience developed at VKI on experimental testing.

Designed for professionals with some compliance knowledge and experience, HCCA’s Healthcare Basic Compliance Academy is ideal for practitioners who are ready to support, enhance, and oversee a comprehensive compliance program in a healthcare setting.

This course gives an overview and practical hands-on experience in integrating machine learning in fluid dynamics. The course originated as a compressed version of the course Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics, given at the Research Master program at the von Karman Institute. After a brief review of the machine learning landscape, we show how to frame problems in fluid mechanics as machine learning problems, and we explore challenges and opportunities. Attendees will be guided through a series of tutorial sessions in Python and will tackle several relevant applications: aeroacoustics' noise prediction, turbulence modelling, reduced-order modelling and forecasting, meshless integration of (partial) differential equations, super-resolution and flow control.
