Canada, June 10, 2018
The CFD Society of Canada cordially invites the research community to contribute to the CFD2018 conference. Rapid advances in computing technology have made CFD an increasingly important tool for predicting and analyzing fluid flow and heat and mass transfer, with applications to mechanical, aerospace, civil, and chemical engineering. Contributions from all sectors are solicited, across the full spectrum of CFD research and applications.
Description:
Scope of the Conference
Rapid advances in computing technology have made CFD an increasingly important tool for predicting and analyzing fluid flow and heat and mass transfer, with applications to mechanical, aerospace, civil, and chemical engineering. CFD is also an important research tool in water resources, oceanography, atmospheric environment, and boundary-layer meteorology. CFD2018 features the following two themes:
Theme I: Computational Fluid Dynamics and Numerical Heat Transfer (oriented towards engineering flows);
Theme II: Computational Environmental Flows and Transport Phenomena (oriented towards environmental flows: water resources and atmospheric sciences).
Contributions from all sectors are solicited, across the full spectrum of CFD research and applications including, but not restricted to:
Theme I:
Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics
Automotive Engineering
Algorithms
Bio-fluid Mechanics
CFD Education
Chemical Reacting Flows and Combustion
Fluid-Structure Interactions
Heat and Mass Transfer
Industrial Applications
Mesh Generation
Multi-phase Flows
Porous Media
Non-Newtonian Flows
Turbulence and Turbulence Modeling
Theme II:
Atmospheric Environment and Sciences
Boundary-layer Meteorology
Environmental Flow
Environmental Transport Phenomena
Hydraulics
Hydrology and Water Resources
Oceanography
Wind Engineering
Journal Special Issues
Corresponding to the two themes, selected papers will be invited for publication in special issues with the following two journals:
(1) International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat & Fluid Flow
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journal/hff
(2) Physics and Chemistry of the Earth
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/physics-and-chemistry-of-the-earth
