Between 1979 and 1997 a number of meetings on computational
thermal problems were organised by Professor R.W. Lewis and
his colleagues.
Since then, the world energy situation has become critical
and new issues are arising in the sector of energy
conversion. Many of these issues are strictly related to
thermal problems, and the possibility to solve these
problems efficiently is very often related to the new
developments in Computational Techniques. Thermal problems
are also rising in new areas of research, such as
bioengineering and nanotechnology, where new models and
solution methods need to be developed.
The International Conference on Computational Methods for
Thermal Problems aims at bringing together researchers,
scientists, practitioners and students interested in this
area of research in order to discuss the most recent
developments and the challenges that the future holds in
this field.
Technical papers are invited on any topics related to
Computational Methods for Thermal Problems. Proposals are
also invited for mini-symposia organised by individual
researchers (composed of at least 5 papers).
A special award for the best post-graduate student
presentation will be awarded to honour the outstanding
contributions and service of Professor Roland W. Lewis to
computational heat transfer.
