WELCOME

Dear Esteemed Colleagues and Prospective Participants,

 

As the Chairperson of the 18th Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics (ACFM), I am profoundly honored to invite you to participate in this distinguished event, set to be hosted in the vibrant and beautiful Seoul, South Korea. Since its inception in Bangalore in 1980, ACFM has established itself as the premier conference for fluid mechanics in Asia, a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and collaboration across our diverse continent.

 

18ACFM is not only a platform for showcasing traditional studies in fluid mechanics but also a forum for presenting the spectacular leaps in recent research advancements. We are particularly excited to highlight sessions on cutting-edge developments, such as data-driven fluid mechanics, state-of-the-art flow visualization technologies, and interdisciplinary research merging with the bio-medical field. These areas represent the forefront of our discipline, offering new insights and opening up untapped avenues of research that promise to revolutionize how we understand and apply fluid mechanics.

 

Participants from leading nations in the field, such as China, India, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, along with scholars and students from Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, and beyond, are encouraged to submit their abstracts. The 18th Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics (18ACFM) promises to offer insightful presentations, interactive workshops, and ample opportunities for networking. This environment will enable attendees to share innovative work, gain new perspectives, and forge significant collaborations.

 

As we prepare for this gathering in Seoul, immerse yourself in the country's rich cultural heritage and technological innovation, which provide an inspiring backdrop for our academic discussions and discoveries.

 

My deepest gratitude goes to the organizers, sponsors, volunteers, and all participants. Your dedication fuels 18ACFM's success, uniting us not just in shared knowledge but in the pursuit of future innovations and lasting collaborations in fluid mechanics. The diversity of topics, the depth of research, and the valuable contributions you bring are eagerly anticipated.

 

Let's embrace this opportunity to push the boundaries of fluid mechanics together, making the 18th Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics a landmark event in our field.

 

Thank you for your dedication to advancing fluid mechanics. I eagerly look forward to welcoming you to Seoul.

 

Warm regards,
