Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference

AFMC2024 - 24th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference

The 24th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference will be held on 1-5 December 2024 in Canberra, Australia.

The conference will bring together leading Australian and international scientists, engineers, educators and research students with common interests in fluid mechanics.

This event will provide excellent opportunities for social networking to strengthen links between Australian and international technical communities in academia, industry and government.

The AFMC is a family-friendly conference, with child care available for delegates, so we encourage you to make your stay a family affair and enjoy all that Canberra and The Australian Capital Territory can offer.

The 2024 AFMS Fellows, Emerging Leaders, winners of the Photo and Video Competition and recipients of the Best Student Presentation Awards will be announced during the conference.

AFMS Participation Awards for Students at the AFMC

The AFMS will offer up to 10 Participation Awards for Students to attend the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference. These awards serve to encourage students to engage in high-quality research that can be presented in person through participation in the AFMC by providing free student registrations.

If you (as a student) wish to be considered for an award, please refer to the policy and guidelines (also available on the Policies page) and submit your application by email to afms.admin@gmail.com using this form by Friday 6 September 2024.

Please note that only complete submissions – all parts completed and required documents attached – will be considered for the award.

AFMS Return-to-work Grants

The AFMS has introduced a "Return-to-Work Grant" scheme for staff who have had an extended career break for reasons of parental, carer responsibilities or illness. This is designed to allow successful applicants to participate in the upcoming Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference and thereby re-engage with the Fluid Mechanics community.

If you wish to be considered for such a grant, please refer to the policy and guidelines (also available on the Policies page) and submit your application by email to afms.admin@gmail.com using this form by Friday 6 September 2024.

Please note that only complete submissions will be considered for the grant.

About the Conference Series

The Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference has grown steadily from its beginning at the University of Western Australia in 1962. The conference series has traditionally covered the broad field of fluid mechanics in all engineering and scientific disciplines. It provides a forum for presentation of papers in all aspects of fundamental and applied fluid mechanics.
