Welcome to ParCFD 2026

The Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics (ParCFD) 2026 Conference is the 37th event in the ParCFD series. The inaugural event was held in 1989 in Manhattan Beach, California, and the current event will be held in Nantes (France) in the Western part of France.

ParCFD is an annual international forum devoted to the discussion of recent developments and applications of parallel computing in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics and related disciplines. The event is organized by Ecole Centrale de Nantes, including the GLiCID Supercomputing Center and GeM, .

The topics of interest can cover, but are not limited to:

Parallel Algorithms and Solvers
Extreme-Scale Computing including Computations on Novel Hardware Technologies
Software Frameworks and C/G-PU Computing
AI and Machine Learning for CFD
Quantum computing for CFD
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Applications
Multi-Phase Flows and Chemical Engineering Applications
Atmospheric and Ocean Modelling
Renewable Energies
Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ) in CFD Modelling
Turbulence, Combustion, and Acoustics
