About ICEFM

The 6th International Conference on Experimental Fluid Mechanics (ICEFM 2025) will take place in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada, May 20-22, 2025.

The International Conference on Experimental Fluid Mechanics (ICEFM) aims to provide an international forum dedicated to sharing latest results on experimental fluid mechanics and state-of-the-art techniques. The previous meetings were held in China (Chengdu, 1991), Italy (Torino, 1994), Russia (Moscow, 1997), China (Beijing, 2014), and Germany (Munich, 2018). After an interruption due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the long-planned arrival of the conference to North America is taking place in 2025.

Scope:

Contributions are welcome from all areas of experimental fluid mechanics and thermo-fluids research. Specific topics for contributions include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Flow measurement techniques
  • Aerodynamics
  • Aeroacoustics
  • Flow instabilities
  • Transition
  • Turbulence & turbulent flows
  • Bio-fluid mechanics
  • Combustion & reacting flows
  • Micro- & nano-fluidics
  • Scalar transport & mixing
  • Environmental fluid mechanics
  • Flow control & drag reduction
  • Fluid-structure interaction
  • Icing, de-icing & anti-icing
  • Multiphase flows
  • Convective heat transfer
