The 21st International Conference on Flow Dynamics (ICFD2024), in the annual series since 2004, will be held from
November 18th to 20th, 2024 at Sendai, Japan. The objective of this conference is to explore new horizons in science andtechnology in Flow Dynamics by discussing and exchanging information related to the most advanced scientific fields and tocutting edge technologies. ICFD is now recognized by the researchers and engineers all over the world as one of the largest
and the most important international conferences in the field of Flow Dynamics. It has also been playing an important role inpromoting international research collaborations. Especially, ICFD2024 focuses on energy related topics, such as clean energy,hydrogen energy, and natural energy. In addition, it should be noted that ICFD provides young researchers and students withunique opportunities to develop themselves through proactive participation in the conference and young researchers andstudents are encouraged by awards.
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 of Education andResearch for Trans-disciplinary Flow Dynamics (GCOE, Year 2008 - Year 2012)”. Institute of Fluid Science (IFS), Tohoku
University, was responsible for both 21COE and GCOE programs. GCOE ended in March of 2013. In 2013, on the occasionof its 70th anniversary, IFS was reorganized as an even more powerful research institute, particularly in energy-relatedresearch, with three new research divisions and an Innovative Energy Research Center. In this movement, IFS decided tocontinue to support 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 of scientists
and engineers.
Flow Dynamics is an Integrated Flow Science which deals with flow and transport phenomena concerning electrons,
molecules, nanoscale particles, any continuum fluid with and without chemical reaction, any material, energy, information,
economic activity and so forth. It addresses multiscale, multiphysics and multidisciplinary problems and deals with all-naturalphenomena including bio-processes, corrosion, weather, volcanic eruptions, earth magnetic field and tectonic motions, and in
most human activities such as industrial processes, energy production & saving, and transportation. ICFD is expected to playa significant role in encouraging Flow Dynamics to become a major academic discipline, which deals with various difficult
tasks that human society is facing, such as control of nuclear power generators, global warming, energy, resource and diseases.
We expect all scientists and engineers who are working or are interested in such areas to participate in ICFD2024 and extend
their research areas and international human networks.
ICFD serves as a platform of discussion to reach scientific truth and engineering solutions for all the flow-relevant
problems. We cordially invite researchers, teachers, students and planners exploring and studying in the relevant research anddevelopment fields of energy, bio-, nano-, material, environmental, planetary and earth sciences and technologies, particularlyin the academic fields of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, nuclear engineering, physics, medical science andengineering, chemistry, chemical engineering and all other areas.
We believe that you will enjoy beautiful and pleasant atmosphere of the autumn at Sendai, since the middle of November
is the best season of Sendai. the best season of Sendai.
