Aims & Scope

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
