AWARDS PROGRAM (Session 1INV)
1997 Fluid Dynamics Prize
Louis N. Howard, Florida State University
"For seminal theoretical concepts in the theory of turbulence, stability, rotating and stratified fluid flows, and other fluid dynamical problems, including upper bounding theory of statistically stationary turbulence, semicircle theorems for the stability of geophysical flows, the spin-up problem, and reaction-diffusion and double-diffusion problems."

1997 Otto Laporte Award
Marvin E. Goldstein, NASA, Lewis Research Center
"For his seminal theoretical elucidation of the roles of receptivity and nonlinearity in the transition to turbulence of shear flows, for his discovery that capillary force can be the source of absolute instability in a liquid jet, for his lasting contribution to aeroacoustics and rapid distortion theory, and for his exemplary roles in the fluid dynamics community."

1997 Francois Frenkiel Award
Dr. Krishnan Mahesh, Center for Turbulence Research, Stanford University
"A model for the Onset of Breakdown in an Axisymmetric Compressible Vortex," Phys. Fluids 8(12), pages 3338-3345 (1996).

GALLERY OF FLUID MOTION
The 15th Annual Picture Gallery of Fluid Motion includes colorful, insightful displays of still pictures, computer graphics and video clips. Experimental and computational fluid dynamics entries will be presented in poster and short video format, with outstanding entries, selected by a panel of referees, receiving honors during the meeting. Outstanding entries also will appear in the Gallery of Fluid Motion in the September 1998 issue of Physics of Fluids.

PHYSICAL REVIEW E AND PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS
DROP-IN HOUR
A Drop-In Hour for Physical Review E and Physical Review Letters will be held on Monday, November 24, from 15:00 to 17:00 in the Esplanade Ballroom Foyer at the Moscone Center. The Editors of Physical Review E and Physical R eview Letters will be available to answer questions and share concerns about the journals. All are welcome.

ANNUAL REVIEW EDITORIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
The Editorial Committee for Volume 32 of the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics will meet from 8:00-17:30 (or until business is concluded) on Saturday, November 22, in the Sierra J Conference Room on the 5th floor of the San Francisco Marriott Hotel.

Banquet
A banquet will be held Monday evening, November 24 at The Palace Hotel in the Grand Ballroom. The price is $70 for registrants and $50 for guests. Pre-registration for the banquet has been strongly recommended, as tickets may not be available for sale on-site. There will be a program to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Division of Fluid Dynamics.

AUDIO-VISUAL EQUIPMENT
An overhead projector, a 35mm slide projector, and a VHS VCR will be provided for each of the meeting rooms. No other presentation equipment will be provided.

TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION
San Francisco International Airport is served by many major airlines with connections from major U.S. airports. Taxis depart from the lower level outside the baggage claim area of all terminals. Look for the information display at the yellow column in the taxi boarding areas. The taxi fare from the airport to downtown is approximately $30. Shuttles cost between $9 and $12; call (800)BLUEVAN (SuperShuttle).

Attendees might also consider Oakland International Airport. A shuttle bus (AirBART) leaves from the terminal to the nearest Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) commuter train station. BART may then be taken to the Powell Street Station for the Moscone Center and Conference Hotels. Finally, the San Jose International Airport serves the South Bay. It is the most distant of the three major airports.
