The conference will cover the application of CFD in the mineral processing, metal production, power generation, bio-engineering, chemicals, food, oil and gas and other process industries. CFD is proving an invaluable tool in the design and optimisation of equipment and processes in these industries and papers in these areas are strongly encouraged. Papers are particularly encouraged on multi- phase, multi-physics and multi-scale modelling.

The conference continues a successful series of meetings aimed at promoting and advancing the application of CFD in the minerals and process industries where technologies often involve challenging aspects such as multiphase flow, combustion, phase change, non-Newtonian flow, etc. Information on previous conferences in this series are available on the conference web site. The program will present papers on a wide variety of applications including coal combustion, hydrocyclones, casting, fluidised beds, smelting, furnaces, slurries, steelmaking, crystallisation, stirred tanks, granular flow and many others. Mini-symposia on the following topics will be run concurrently with general sessions and papers suitable for inclusion in these are also encouraged: • Computational Fluid Dynamics in Bio-engineering • Renewable Energy Processes: Modelling and Simulation • Modelling of Gas-particle Flows Papers for both oral and poster presentations on the above topics and other related areas are now sought by the organisers. Authors wishing to submit a paper are required to submit a brief 200 word abstract. The deadline for abstract submission is 30 March, 2012.
