The scope of the symposium covers the application of CFD in chemical processes, equipment design and optimization and also new emerging CFD technologies. It is a forum for engineers and researchers who work with CFD to exchange ideas and present their contributions.
Contributions focused on these areas are welcomed:
- Chemical processes design
- Equipment design and optimization
- New emerging CFD technologies
