14th Pacific Symposium on Flow Visualization and Image Processing

Welcome to The 14th Pacific Symposium on Flow Visualization and Image Processing

The organizing committee is delighted to welcome you to the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand for the next PSFVIP event from the 27th-29th of November, 2024. This is an in-person event, and follows from earlier meetings in the series, and is conducted under the auspices of the Pacific Center of Thermal-Fluids Engineering (PCTFE).

The objective of this Symposium is to provide an opportunity for researchers and engineers in all areas of flow visualization, image processing and related techniques to exchange knowledge and new experience in the spirit of collaboration and friendship. Contributions on current research ranging from fundamental principles and techniques to applications are sought.

Topics include, but are not restricted to, the following areas:
• Numerical visualization and image processing
• Non-Newtonian fluid flows
• Multiphase flow
• Physiological/Biological flow
• Environmental flows
• Jets, vortices and swirling flows
• Heat transfer and combustion
• Turbo machinery
• UAVs & aerodynamic flows
• Classical and advanced flow visualization techniques
• Laser-based methods
• High performance computing
• Wavelet methods
• AI and machine learning for image processing
• Applications and related research

PSFVIP Conference Series Background

First three conferences were on the Hawaiian Islands in 1997, 1999, 2001, while the fourth was in France at Chamonix in 2003 and the fifth was on an island near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia in 2005. The sixth symposium returned to Hawaii. Following the Symposium in Kaohsiung (2009), Moscow (2011), Busan (2013), Naples (2015), Kumamoto(2017) and New Taipei City(2019). The 13th Pacific Symposium on Flow Visualization and Image Processing PSVIP13, took place at the Kogakuin University, Shinjuku, Japan on August 7th-10th, 2022.
