AFMS
Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference
The 25th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference will be held on 6-10 December 2026 in Christchurch, New Zealand. The conference will bring together leading Australasian and international scientists, engineers, industry professionals, educators, and research students who share a common interest in fluid mechanics.
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 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.
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.
