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
• Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimization
• Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics Applications
• Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
