AFM 2010 is the eighth international conference in the successful series ‘Advances in Fluid Mechanics’. The conference is being reconvened following the success of all previous meetings.

The objective of the meeting is to provide a forum for discussing new work in fluid mechanics and in particular for promoting the interchange of new ideas and the presentation of the latest applications in the field.

The basic formulations of fluid mechanics and their computer modelling will be discussed, as well as the relationship between experimental and analytical results. The conference covers a wide range of topics, with emphasis on new applications and research currently in progress.

The first conference in this series took place in New Orleans, USA (1996) followed by Udine, Italy (1998), Montreal, Canada (2000), Ghent, Belgium (2002), Lisbon, Portugal (2004), Skiathos, Greece (2006) and the New Forest, UK (2008).

AFM 2010 will be of interest to scientists, engineers and other professionals interested in presenting and discussing the latest developments in theoretical and computational fluid mechanics.

Conference topics include:
- Computational methods in fluid mechanics
- Environmental fluid mechanics
- Experimental versus simulation methods
- Multiphase flow
- Hydraulics and hydrodynamics
- Heat and mass transfer
- Industrial applications
- Wave studies
- Biofluids
- Fluid structure interaction
