User Meeting, edition 2015

The 2015 edition of the Code_Saturne User Meeting was held at EDF Lab Chatou (France) on April the 2nd.

This edition was the eighth User Meeting since the code was made open source. Around 130 participants attended the conference. The list of posters and presentations is given below. Most of them can be downloaded by clicking on their reference.
