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
