CFD is now considered an indispensable analysis/design tool in an ever-increasing range of industrial applications. Practical flow problems are often so complex that a high level of ingenuity is required. Thus, besides the development work in CFD, innovative CFD applications are also encouraged. PCFD's ultimate goal is to provide a common platform for model/software developers and users by balanced international/interdisciplinary contributions, disseminating information relating to development/refinement of mathematical and numerical models, software tools and their innovative applications in CFD.
Topics covered include
- Turbulence
- Two-phase flows
- Heat transfer
- Chemical reactions and combustion
- Acoustics
- Unsteady flows
- Free-surfaces
- Fluid-solid interaction
- Navier-Stokes solution techniques for incompressible and compressible flows
- Discretisation methods and schemes
- Convergence acceleration procedures
- Grid generation and adaptation techniques
- Mesh-free methods
- Distributed computing
- Other relevant topics
Objectives
The ultimate goal of PCFD is to provide a platform for information exchange between model and software developers and users, by balanced international and interdisciplinary contributions from both areas. It aims to disseminate information relating to development and refinement of mathematical and numerical models, software tools and their innovative applications in the area of CFD.
Readership
Professionals, academics, researchers and managers, model and software developers and users.
