Canada, June 10, 2018

The Organizing Committee cordially invites the international research community to contribute to the 26th Annual Conference of the CFD Society of Canada (CFD2018) by submitting extended abstracts. Following acceptance of the extended abstract, authors are requested to submit a full-length paper for the conference proceedings. Selected papers will be further invited for publication in two peer-refereed journal special issues.

CALL FOR PAPERS 

 

CFD2018 

 

The 26th Annual Conference of the Computational Fluid Dynamics Society of Canada 

 

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 

June 10 – 12, 2018 

 

 

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
