Riding the Wave: The Value of Fluid Mechanics in Australasia
This report commissioned by the AFMS serves to increase awareness of the value and roles that fluid mechanics plays in Australasia, thereby arguing for the discipline and its support as a key pillar in the socio-economic advancement of the region.
AFMS feedback on research funding changes
the AFMS council has made submissions to The National Competitive Grants Program (NCGP) and The Strategic Evaluation of Research and Development (SERD) to provide feedback on the significant changes to the research funding landscape which have recently been proposed and ensure that the interests of our fluid mechanics community are well represented.
APCOM-ACCM – 7-10 Dec 2025, Brisbane
The International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM) and the Asian Pacific Association for Computational Mechanics (APACM) are proud to present the 9th Asian Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (APCOM) & 7th Australasian Conference on Computational Mechanics (ACCM), to be held in Brisbane, Australia in 2025.
AFMS Photo and Video Competition 2024
The 2024 competition's winning photos and videos are now available in the Gallery of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society.
Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference
The 24th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference was held on 1-5 December 2024 in Canberra, Australia. The conference brought together leading Australian and international scientists, engineers, educators and research students with common interests in fluid mechanics.
Fluid mechanics is the analysis of fluid flows. The air flowing in our lungs, the blood flowing in our veins, the lava erupting from a volcano, the air flowing over an aircraft wing, water flooding from a dam and the chemicals mixing in a pharmaceuticals plant are all examples of flowing fluids. Fluid mechanicians aim to understand fluid flows, predicting, adapting and harnessing flows for practical applications.
Members of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society provide service to aerospace, automotive, biological, chemicals, defence, energy, environmental, food, maritime, medical, mining, pharmaceuticals, sports, and water industries. We teach biomedical, civil, chemical, environmental, and mechanical engineers, applied mathematicians, meteorologists and oceanographers, continuing a 50-year-old tradition of excellence in Australian and New Zealand fluid mechanics.
Our 350-plus members are taking on the greatest challenges of our time in water, food security, energy, health, transportation, weather prediction and climate change, under the overarching imperative of sustainability.
