Welcome Message from the Organizing Committee
Following the successful inaugural International Symposium on AI and Fluid Mechanics (AIFLUIDs), held in May 2025, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd event, to be held at MAICh Conference Centre in Chania, Greece, between 31st August to 3rd September 2026.
Fluid mechanics has been explored by experimental, theoretical and traditional computational methods. Recently, there has been a resurgence of data-driven and machine learning methods to provide improved understanding and control of fluid flows. At the same time, novel approaches of solving the fluid flow conservation equations based on AI techniques are under development. The participation of more than 300 participants from all over the world that participated in the inaugural event is a testament to the rapidly growing interest in AI-driven approaches in fluid dynamics. Participants come from a range of backgrounds including universities, research centres, and industry and corporations, reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of this field.
This symposium offers a timely and unique opportunity to exchange ideas, showcase new research, and foster collaboration. AIFLUIDs aspires to become the premier global forum dedicated to artificial intelligence and data-driven methods in the field of fluid mechanics. We believe that AIFLUIDs will play a key role in advancing benchmark datasets, validating machine learning models, and shaping the future of computational methods in fluid mechanics.
The symposium hosts keynote presentations by world-leading experts, open scientific contributions and posters. Moreover, sponsors and industry experts will participate and discuss challenges and future perspectives.
Moreover, the day before AIFLUIDs (31st August) we are organising two mini-symposia:
Quantum Computing for CFD
AI and Experimental Fluid Mechanics
During this day, presentations will be delivered by experts in the corresponding fields.
We welcome you to participate and contribute to this event for a productive and inspiring experience in Chania.
Warm regards,
On behalf of the AIFLUIDs 2025 Organizing Committee
