THE FOURTEENTH ASIAN CONGRESS OF FLUID MECHANICS

The First Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics (ACFM) was organized in Bangalore, India, in 1980 with the intention of encouraging scientific and technical cooperation and exchange among Asian countries. It presents the most recent developments in theoretical, experimental and computational researches as well as industrial and technological advances in the field of fluid mechanics. The Congresses were originally held every three years. Since 1995, the regulation has been changed to every two years. However, since 2010, the Congresses will held every three years, as the original regulation. The 14th ACFM will be held in October 15-19, 2013 at Hanoi and Halong, Vietnam. It is the great pleasure of the local committee members to be appointed for this very challenging task. We would like to arrange the 14th ACFM in order to reach the same high professional standards as all previous Congresses. The Congress languages is English. It is expected that the Congress will attract many participants from Asian countries. The main goal of the Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics (ACFM) is to review recent progress achieved in the field of Fluid Mechanics to facilitate the exchange of results and hold discussions on major fluid flow problems among scientists and engineers in this field. The Congress organizers would like to promote a broad cooperation and exchange of new ideas between specialists in order to consolidate recent advances in the fundamental knowledge of fluid mechanics and the industrial processes involved.
