Fluid flows are important in a wide range of engineering applications. Many industrially motivated flow problems lead to fascinating fundamental fluid mechanics studies, as well as providing profound challenges that drive the development of more powerful mathematical and simulation techniques. Understanding and predicting fluid behaviour is becoming increasingly important, especially for applications where experimentation is too difficult, expensive or hazardous.
This conference seeks to bring together academics and practitioners to explore the fundamental science, progress and challenges in mathematical modelling and simulation technology inspired by fluid problems in process engineering.
