Warmly welcome to attend the 7th International Symposium on Thermal-Fluid Dynamics (ISTFD 2026). It is a follow-up conference to the previous six successful conferences, which were held in Xi’an, China (2019), Beijing, China (2021), Xi’an, China (2022), Nanjing, China (2023), Xi’an, China (2022) and Qingdao, China (2025). ISTFD 2026 will be held in Xi’an, China on 10-13 July 2026, and is organized by State Key Laboratory of Multiphase Flow in Power Engineering of Xi’an Jiaotong University.

Thermal-Fluid Dynamics play a significant role in energy revolution and achieving carbon neutrality. It is the foundations to a wide range of engineering subjects such as energy, power, environment, energy saving and storage, renewable energy, aerospace and astronautics, nuclear energy, hydrogen energy, mechanical engineering, emerging and interdisciplinary subjects such as zero carbon technologies, micro- and nano-fluidics, advanced thermal processes and others. It plays a key role in the development and breakthrough of scientific theories, innovative technologies and revolution of industry and human society systems.

ISTFD aims to become one of the leading annual international forums and to advance scientific knowledge and technology development of Thermal-Fluid Dynamics and relevant emerging, cutting-edge and interdisciplinary subjects.

ISTFD 2026 will continue the increasingly important mission of fostering international cooperation and the exchange of ideas, including the most recent advances and exciting research outcomes in the field of thermal-fluid dynamics. The conference will include invited presentations and keynotes, contributed oral and poster presentations, as well as formal and informal opportunities to connect with your engineering peers. We sincerely welcome participants from every country and with a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds. Especially, young scientists and students are cordially invited.
