CFD in Chemical Engineering and Industrial Processes

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) has become an active area of research in the last three decades and many process industries are taking full advantage of leading-edge CFD technologies, such as mixing, petrochemical, food processing, oil & gas, polymer and mineral industries. This symposium will address advances in CFD and CFD applications in process industries. It will combine plenary talks from experts with research papers in the field. Papers which include experimental validation are strongly encouraged.
