About ICCFD

ICCFD is a leading international conference devoted to all innovative aspects of CFD, fundamental and applied. This biennial event began in the year 2000 with the merger of two important CFD conferences: the International Conference on Numerical Methods in Fluid Dynamics (ICNMFD), and the International Symposium on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ISCFD).

Scope

ICCFD12 is devoted to all innovative aspects of CFD, basic and applied. Subjects of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Innovative algorithm development and data science technologies for flow simulations: higher-order methods, iterative methods, parallel algorithms, high-performance computing, mesh adaption, grid generation, meshless methods, immersed boundary methods, level-set methods, artificial intelligence (AI), and optimization algorithms
  • Advances in modeling of flow physics in the areas of: steady and unsteady flows, compressible and incompressible flows, flows in porous media, hypersonic and reacting flows, turbulence (transition, DNS/LES, etc.), multi-phase flows, boundary layer stability, and vortex dynamics
  • Advanced multidisciplinary applications using the above mentioned technologies: aeroacoustics, flow control, biomedical fluid mechanics, large scale applications, verification and validation methods, and turbomachinery
We invite you to submit an abstract for a paper and a talk.

Time table

Poster Session

Due to the large number of submissions than expected this year and the limited number of slots available for oral presentation, we have urgently accepted 30 abstracts for poster presentation.

There is no difference for Oral and Poster presentation except for presentation style, thus submission to the conference proceedings is mandatory for poster presentation.

Submission to the Conference Proceedings

Guidelines for Submissions

Submission to the conference proceedings is mandatory.

Submission can be in the form of full papers, extended abstracts or oral presentation slides.

They must be submitted in pdf format via via the Confit online submission system (opening in early May), no later than July 3, 2024 .

Only A4 portrait format files with a maximum file size of 10 MB will be received.

Following a thorough review process, only full length papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of Computers and Fluids.

Full papers should be no longer than 25 pages in length. The following templates must be used for submissions of full papers:

Please note that the conference proceedings will exclusively be available in a digital format; no physical copies will be issued.

Presenting authors need to complete their registration and payment by May 31 (Early-bird registration deadline) to ensure their presentation is included in the final conference program.

Abstract Submissions

The abstract submission was closed.

The abstract submission was closed on January 29th. Thank you for submitting your abstract!

The Confit online submission system can be found here.

ICCFD expects active research exchange at the conference, and welcomes participation from many research teams. Thus, three or more submissions from the same research group may affect its acceptance.

About Kobe City

Kobe is the capital of Hyogo Prefecture with its population of about 1.53 million, designated by government as one of twenty major cities in Japan. Located between the sea and the Rokko mountain range, Kobe is also considered one of Japan's most attractive cities for both domestic and international tourists. Kobe has also been an important port city for many centuries, and was among the first to be opened to foreign trade in the 19th century. In 1995, Kobe was hit by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Today the city has recovered completely from the disaster, and few signs of the terrible event remain. Kobe is home to many attractions: Arima Onsen, one of the oldest Hot Springs in Japan; The "ten-million-dollar night view" from the top of Mt. Rokko; Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world; Kobe beef, the world-famous melt-in- your-mouth beef; Sake breweries, where you can see how sake is produced. Kobe is close to three airports in the Kansai area (Kansai International Airport, Osaka International Airport, and Kobe Airport) and has a Shinkansen station (Shin-Kobe), offering excellent access, from both international and domestic locations.

  • This center has the Main Hall, with a capacity of 692 people, and the prestigious International Conference Room, with a capacity of 360 (in a theater-style layout) where UN and inter-governmental conferences have been held.
  • Its Reception Hall has removable partitions to broaden the usage of the adjacent International Conference Room. There is a total of 21 medium to small meeting rooms, including one with a maximum capacity of 200 people. Each floor has a spacious lounge and lobby and can be reserved for exclusive use in exhibitions, poster sessions, etc.

Award

Young CFD Investigator Award

The award is the contribution from the committee members under the agreement of committee members of "International Nobeyama Workshop in honor of Prof. Kunio Kuwahara" that was held several years ago for his remarkable contribution to CFD and international collaborations.

Professor Kunio Kuwahara undertook pioneering numerical studies on the vortex method in the 1970s. From then to the early nineties, he developed numerical analyses on a variety of three-dimensional unsteady phenomena of incompressible and compressible fluid flows and/or complex fluid flows using his own supercomputers with academic and industrial co-workers and members of his private research institute, ICFD in Tokyo. For his contributions to CFD, Professor Kuwahara received Awards from the Japan Society of Automobile Engineers and the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1992, the Computational Mechanics Achievement Award from the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1993, and the Max Planck Research Award in 1993. He received the Computational Mechanics Award from the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers again in 2008. Professor Kuwahara also supported the development of the Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics, whose office is located in the same building as ICFD. Professor Kunio Kuwahara passed away on 15 September 2008, at the age of 66.
