Special Session 1 FLUID FLOW, ENERGY TRANSFER & DESIGN (SS1)

Advances in the understanding of fluid flow and energy transfer continue to be crucial in achieving improved performance and efficiency in a broad range of systems.
This special session welcomes contributions on analytical, computational (CFD) and experimental aspects of fluid flow and energy transfer relevant to science and technology. It is intended as a platform for exchanging experiences and information, enlivening academic thoughts and promoting the further development of research in these disciplines.
