TOP   Events & Outreach  Event Calendar  3rd Indo-Japanese Collaborative Workshop on CFD-based AI and HPC, 2026 (Nov 28-29, 2026, India)

The Indo-Japanese Collaborative Workshop on CFD-based AI and HPC 2026 will bring together leading researchers and practitioners from India and Japan to exchange recent advances at the intersection of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing (HPC). Through invited talks and technical discussions, the workshop will address physics-informed and data-driven methods, high-fidelity simulation, scalable computing, and related emerging approaches in computational fluid mechanics.
Held at IIT Madras this time after the past two editions at IIT Kanpur, the workshop will provide a focused platform for sharing innovative methodologies, identifying complementary expertise, and developing opportunities for sustained Indo-Japanese research collaboration.
