ABSTRACT:

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) continues to evolve with advancements in computational power, numerical methods, and a broader scope of interdisciplinary applications. This mini-symposium (MS) aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and developers to discuss the latest breakthroughs, challenges, and future directions in the field. Emphasis will be placed on novel techniques, multi-physics coupling, and high-performance computing applications. This symposium will provide an interactive platform to discuss new methodologies, validation efforts, and the role of open-source tools in democratizing CFD research. This MS will address both theoretical and practical aspects of CFD. Given the wide application of CFD in fields such as aerospace, automotive, biological flows, and environmental studies, this MS will provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art. Participants will benefit from the exchange of ideas on the latest computational methods, cross-disciplinary innovations, and the future of open-source tools in CFD development. This is particularly timely as industries and academia are leveraging new computational tools and methodologies to tackle increasingly complex fluid flow problems. Specific Topics to be Covered in this MS are as follows: Innovations in CFD Numerical Methods, Multi-Physics Simulations, High-Performance Computing (HPC) for CFD, Advances in Bio-Inspired and Biological Flows, Open-Source CFD, Industrial Applications of CFD, Uncertainty Quantification and Machine Learning in CFD. Target Audience of this MS are the following: CFD researchers from academia and industry, Developers and contributors to open-source CFD platforms, Engineers and scientists working on fluid mechanics in various applications (aerospace, automotive, energy, biology), Postgraduate students and early-career researchers interested in recent advances in CFD.
