Hong Kong, January 10, 2010

The Asian Computational Fluid Dynamics Conference (ACFD) is held once every two years. The major objective of ACFD is to provide a common forum for exchange of new ideas and experiences amongst the scientists and engineers from Asia as well as other parts of the globe, who work on algorithms and applications of CFD. The conference will be open to those interested in the wide range of fluid engineering and any subject related to computational techniques in any field of engineering.

Description:

The Asian Computational Fluid Dynamics Conference (ACFD) is held once every two years. The first conference (ACFD1) was inaugurated by Prof. Hui at Hong Kong in 1995, followed by the successive conferences held in Tokyo (Japan), Bangalore (India), Miyanyang (China), Pusan (Korea), Taipei (Taiwan) and Bangalore (India). The major objective of ACFD is to provide a common forum for exchange of new ideas and experiences amongst the scientists and engineers from Asia as well as other parts of the globe, who work on algorithms and applications of CFD.

The ACFD8 will be held at Hong Kong SAR, China, during January 10 - 14, 2010. The program includes invited keynote lectures by distinguished experts from across the globe. There will be a few plenary sessions and a large number of parallel technical sessions spread over the conference periods. In keeping with the tradition of previous conferences, the conference will be open to those interested in the wide range of fluid engineering and any subject related to computational techniques in any field of engineering. It is anticipated that the Eighth Asian Computational Fluid Dynamics Conference (ACFD8) will provide an opportunity for stimulation of the researchers as well as for furthering cooperation among the investigators in CFD in any engineering field.

Original papers which deal with all aspects of CFD either qualitative and/or quantitative in nature are solicited. Topics (include but not limited to):

* Navier-Stokes and Boltzmann Solvers
* New Algorithms and Numerical Schemes
* Grid Generation and Grid Adaptation
* Grid Free and Cartesian Methods
* Convergence Acceleration Schemes
* High Performance and Parallel Computing
* Micro and Low Reynolds Number Flows
* Turbomachinery and Internal Flows
* Supersonic and Hypersonic Flows
* Combustion and Reacting Flows
* Electrochemical Flows
* Bio Fluid Mechanics
* Multiphase Flows and Flows in Porous Media
* Turbulent Flows: Modelling and LES/DNS
* Multidisciplinary and Multi-objective Optimization
* Industrial Applications of CFD

Papers selected from ACFD8 will be submitted to Communication in Computational Physics and International Journal for Computational Fluid Dynamics for the possible publications.

Papers will be selected based on extended abstracts of 2 pages (A4, single space, Times New Roman letters of 11 font size) including figures and references. Papers submitted should include the title of the paper, authors' names and affiliations, a concise statement of the problem, method of approach, results and discussion, and conclusions. Please identify the corresponding author. Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged. Template is available from the conference website (http://www.me.ust.hk/~acfd8). Please submit your abstract in a Word or PDF format to the ACFD8 Secretariat via ACFD8 website (online submission) or e-mail.
