Fourteenth Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference

15AFMC Home page

Detailed instructions for authors

Introduction

The conference proceedings will be published from ``camera-ready copy''. For reasons of uniformity, all papers must adhere to the format defined by the afmc_art.cls class file and the inst.tex ``template'' paper.

The organising committee will accept papers formatted using either the LaTeX or Microsoft Word templates available on the web at

www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/14afmc/templates

Particular attention should be given to the formatting style used in the ``template''. Papers which do not conform to this style will NOT be published.

Submitting papers

For Review

Please send five (5) printed copies of your paper for review to

15th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference,
School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering
University of Sydney, NSW 2006,
AUSTRALIA.

by the due date, July 31. You should also provide the contact details of one author.

For Publication

Each paper should be sent as an Adobe PDF file to [email protected] for publication.

Page limits

The page limit for contributed papers is four (4) pages. The page limit for invited papers is eight (8) pages. Papers which exceed this limit will be returned to the author(s) for shortening.

Title and Authors

The title should be in lower case with the first letter of major words capitalised. Avoid forcing a line-break unless absolutely necessary. Author affiliations should consist of ``Department, Institution, City, State, Post-code, Country''. Author affiliations should be noted using a superscript.

Section Headings

And Subsection Headings.

Section and subsection headings should be in lower case with the first letter of major words in upper case. Do not use subsubsections.

Figures and Tables

Figures and Tables should appear in the text near to where they are first referenced. They should be centred between the margins, and must not fall outside of the normal printed area of the page which is 170mm wide by 248mm high. The font size for all numbers and letters in the figure, as it appears in your paper, must be at least as large as that for the running headings. Put table captions below the table, and figure captions below the figure. Refer to figures and tables as in ``figure 1, table 1''.

Some care should be taken when reducing the size of figures; make sure that the figure and all labels are still legible.

The proceedings will be distributed on CD-ROM so colour figures and illustrations can be included. However, please try, where possible, to ensure that black and white copies of your submitted paper are still clear.

Top

Equations

Equations will be centred with a number flush against the right margin.

Some care should be taken in ensuring that long Mathematical expressions are correctly split over lines. If necessary use "x" at the end of a line to indicate that the multiplication is to be carried over to the next line.

Notes for MS-Word 6 users

The following notes are intended to assist users of MS-Word 6, so that their papers follow, as closely as possible, the format specified in the document templates.

Format for References

The references are listed in alphabetical order (by first author) and formatted as shown by the examples in the references section. They may be referred to by the reference number alone or by the author(s) together with the reference number as in ``[2] is a book, [3] is an article in a proceedings, [4] is an edited book, and reference Cooley and Tukey [1] is an article in a journal. Multiple citations should be written as [2,4]''.

The style file afmc.bst (generously contributed by Andrew Kiss of RSES, ANU) is available for BibTeX users, who will need to put afmc.bst in the BibTeX search path (e.g. /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/ on my machine) and then put \bibliographystyle{afmc} in the document preamble. The references section is generated automatically by the command, \bibliography{your_.bib_file_name_without_the_.bib}.

Conclusions

You should include a brief conclusion section which summarizes the results of your paper.

Acknowledgements

Any acknowledgements should appear immediately before the references.
