The 15th International Conference on Flow Dynamics

November 7 - 9, 2018

Second CircularSCOPE
The 15th International Conference on Flow Dynamics(ICFD2018), in the annual series since 2004, will be heldfrom 7th to 9th of November 2018 at the Sendai InternationalCenter, Sendai, Japan. The objectives of this conference areto explore new horizons in science and technology bydiscussing and exchanging information related to the mostadvanced scientific fields and to cutting edge technologies inFlow Dynamics. ICFD is now recognized by the researchersand engineers all over the world as one of the largest and themost important international conferences in the field of Flow
Dynamics. It has also been playing an important role inpromoting international research collaborations. It should be
noted that ICFD provides young researchers and students
with unique opportunities to develop themselves throughproactive participation in the conference.
The first nine ICFDs were hosted by two Tohoku
University COE Programs, "The 21st Century International
COE on Fluid Dynamics (21COE, Year 2003 - Year 2007)"and its successor "Global COE Program World Center ofEducation and Research for Trans-disciplinary Flow
Dynamics 8GCOE, Year 2008 - Year 2012)". Institute of Fluid
Science (IFS), Tohoku University, was responsible for both
21COE and GCOE programs. GCOE ended in March of2013. In 2013, on the occasion of its 70th anniversary, IFS
was reorganized as an even more powerful research
institute, particularly in energy-related research, with three
new research divisions and an Innovative Energy ResearchCenter. In this new movement, IFS decided to continue tosupport this conference series, and ICFDs have been held
annually since 2013. We pledge to maintain ICFD'sdynamism and spirit as a meeting for distinguished scientists
in Flow Dynamics as well as for future generations ofscientists and engineers.
Flow Dynamics is a comprehensive scientific field
which deals with flow and transport phenomena concerning
electrons, molecules, and nanoscale particles, any
continuum fluid with and without chemical reaction, anymaterial, energy, information, economic activity and so forth.
it addresses multiscale, multiphysics and multidisciplinary
problems and deals with all natural phenomena including
bio-processes, corrosion, weather, volcanic eruptions, earthmagnetic field and tectonic motions, and in most humanactivities such as industrial processes, energy production &saving, and transportation. ICFD is expected to play asignificant role in encouraging Flow Dynamics to become amajor academic discipline, which deals with various difficult
tasks that human society is facing, such as control of nuclear
power generators, global warming, energy, resource anddiseases. We expect all scientists and engineers who areworking or are interested in such areas to participate in

ICFD2018 and extend their research areas and international human OS4:
networks.
ICFD serves as a platform of discussion to reach scientific truthand engineering solutions for all the flow-relevant problems. OS5:
Participants will know when they come to Sendai that a wide variety oftechnical sessions are available to provide the seeds and to fulfill theneeds from a viewpoint of flow. We cordially invite researchers, OS6:
teachers, students and planners exploring and studying in the relevant
research and development fields of bio-, nano-, material, energy,environmental, planetary and earth sciences and technologies, OS7:
particularly in the academic fields of mechanical engineering,aerospace engineering, nuclear engineering, physics, medical scienceand engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering and all other areas. OS8:This will be a beautiful season in Sendai. We believe that you will enjoy
beautiful and pleasant atmosphere of the autumn in Sendai.
