On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the International Symposium of Thermal and Fluid Dynamics (ISTFD-2026). This premier event will showcase groundbreaking research and innovations in thermal sciences, fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, and advanced propulsion systems.

Building upon the legacy of our previous symposia, ISTFD-2026 will center on the theme “Thermal-Fluid Innovations for a Sustainable and Intelligent Future.” This theme is designed to inspire cross-disciplinary dialogues that bridge fundamental theory, cutting-edge applications, and future-facing technologies.

ISTFD-2026 is a CPD-accredited conference that will convene leading academics, pioneering researchers, and industry experts from across the globe. Our goal is to foster knowledge exchange and build collaborative partnerships in the dynamic field of thermal and fluid dynamics.

We would be honored to feature your expertise in our program and are confident that your insights would profoundly contribute to the success of ISTFD-2026.
