ICCHMT 2015 - International Conference on Computational Heat and Mass Transfer - 2015

The progress of emerging engineering devices requires an in-depth knowledge and good understanding of the transport processes through various complex geometry passages. At various stages of studying these engineering applications, one comes across mathematical problems irrespective of the engineering discipline. Quite often, because of the complexity of the mathematical problems of these Engineering applications, their analytical solutions are difficult. As an alternative to the analytical solutions, there are computational methods for solving such mathematical problems. The problems associated with the fluid flow, energy and concentration have now become the subject of international debate in finding complete solution. Scientists together Engineers play vital role in analyzing complete solution of Navier-Stokes equations and developing new computational techniques for physically correct solutions.
Computational Methods are an evolutionary field from continuum to discrete fluid mechanics. These methods are developed using numerical methods, that are applicable to scientific and engineering problems in fluid mechanics, micro and bio fluids, fluid-structure interaction, and other related disciplines, such as computational fluid dynamics, Convective heat and mass transfer problems, turbulent flows, laminar flows etc.
Convective heat and mass transfers are encountered in various domains, including heat exchangers, electric and microelectronics cooling, automotive and aerospace, air conditioning, fuel cells cooling, building engineering as well as conversion of renewable energy.
In the context of the above, the objective of “International Conference on Computational Heat and Mass Transfer (ICCHMT)” is to bring together researchers in a forum to exchange innovative ideas, methods and results, and visions of the future related to the general theme of computational methods in heat and mass transfer.
