Computational Fluid Mechanics:

Fluid mechanics, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Fluid-structure interaction, Turbulence Modelling, Porous media/porous flow/coupled analysis, Multiphase Flow, Aerodynamics, Hydrodynamics, Heat Transfer in Fluids, etc.

Numerical Methods:

Boundary elements, Finite elements, GPUs and HPC, Instability analysis, Isogeometric methods, Large scale linear algebra, Mesh generation, Meshless methods, Multiscale modelling, Particle-based methods, PDE & SPDE solutions, Phase field-based methods, Peridynamics, Topology optimisation, FE2 method, Lattice Boltzmann Method, etc.

Multi-physics Modelling:

Multi-physics coupling, Biomechanics/Bioengineering, Heat transfer, Wave propagation, Modeling Manufacturing Processes, Modelling the Additive Manufacturing Process, etc.

Data-driven Methods:

Artificial neural network, Physics-informed neural network, Neural Operators,  Bayesian machine learning,  Convolutional Neural Network, Recurrent neural network, Transfer learning, Generative Adversarial Network, Data-driven inverse design, etc. 

This is the main conference in the UK offering an annual forum for academics and researchers to present their research on developments in Computational Mechanics, being an ideal opportunity for the fostering of ideas and the establishing of new collaborative research links, helping to build strong research networks within UK and at an international level. Previous conferences have proved to be successful technical meetings, with their relative informality contributing to extensive discussion and the presentation of new concepts and ongoing research. They are particularly useful events for drawing together people from different disciplines and providing young researchers with opportunities for presenting their work.
