From its origins as a tool primarily for use in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering and chemical engineering, the application of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics has spread to a wide range of other fields, such as micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), bio-engineering, nano-technology, and so on. Many advances have been made in the computational and experimental fluid dynamics such as on the turbulence modeling, flow stability, flow visualization and measurement, development of efficient numerical methods for CFD, micro- and nano-flow study, bio-fluidics, moving boundary problem, unsteady flow study, lattice Boltzmann method and its application, meshless method, adaptive approach, immersed boundary method, fluid-structure interaction and energy conversion system. The theme of this Conference is to highlight the current advances and future research and development in physics of fluids with primary focus on the connection between fundamental research and engineering applications. The Conference aims to assess the current status and to identify the future priority and directions in research and applications of computational and experimental fluid dynamics.
