Sixth edition of the Conference on Non-Ideal Fluid Dynamics will be held from 23 to 25 September 2026 in Lecce, Italy, at the beautiful Rettorato of the Università del Salento (Piazza Tancredi 7, 73100 Lecce).
A scientific school will precede the event, taking place from 21 to 23 September 2026, and will be especially valuable for students and early-career researchers. The course will cover the fundamentals, numerical and experimental tools, and applications of non-ideal compressible flows. Renowned experts in the field will give classes.
The conference will bring together the international research community studying the fluid dynamics of compressible reactive and non-reactive flows involving non-ideal fluids. Topics will span theory, numerical methods, and practical applications across multiple fields.
