The world energy situation has become critical and new
issues are arising in the sector of energy conversion. Many
of these issues are strictly related to thermal problems,
and the possibility to solve these problems efficiently is
very often related to the new developments in Computational
Techniques. Thermal problems are also rising in new areas of
research, such as bioengineering and nanotechnology, where
new models and solution methods need to be developed.
The International Conference on Computational Methods for
Thermal Problems aims at bringing together researchers,
scientists, practitioners and students interested in this
area of research in order to discuss the most recent
developments and the challenges that the future holds in
this field.
Technical papers are invited on any topics related to
Computational Methods for Thermal Problems. Proposals are
also invited for mini-symposia organised by individual
researchers (composed of at least 5 papers).
A special award for the best post-graduate student
presentation will be awarded to honour the outstanding
contributions and service of Professor Roland W. Lewis to
computational heat transfer.
