21th UIT Summer School

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now a cornerstone technology in the design, analysis, and optimization of systems across a wide range of industries — from energy and aerospace to biomedical and environmental engineering. It also serves as a powerful research tool in an ever-growing number of scientific domains.
While traditional CFD methods such as Finite Volume and Finite Element remain fundamental, the rapid evolution of computing capabilities and numerical modeling has brought forth a new wave of approaches — from machine learning-assisted solvers and Reduced-Order Models, to meshless techniques and even the first quantum-inspired methods.
CFD-FORWARD 2026, a one-week intensive Summer School, aims to equip PhD students and young researchers with a broad and up-to-date perspective on both classical and emerging CFD methodologies. The program will feature a mix of lectures and hands-on sessions, covering not only established methods but also cutting-edge developments.
Taught by leading academics and experts, the School also offers practical insights into open-source CFD platforms, model reduction strategies, and the integration of data-driven techniques in simulation workflows.
