The conference will focus on obtaining overviews of projects under investigation and experimental methods used in the field of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Its purpose is to organize a network of research scientists who are interested in experimental, and also theoretical, work in the field of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Furthermore, it aims to contribute to the creation of closer contacts among like-minded scientists. Thus this conference will enable them to share their experience in the application of various experimental methods, the preparation and implementation of experiments, the processing of results and numerical simulations of experiments.

The main topics of the conference are:
• Experimental methods used in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
• Preparation and implementation of experiments.
• Application of numerical simulation for preparation of experiments, comparison of the results obtained by numerical or analytical methods with experiments.
• Processing the results.
• Experiments in the field of compressible and uncompressible fluid flow, stability of flow, heat and mass transfer, cavitation etc.
• Experiments and measuring carried out on power and regulating equipment.
• Cryogenic fluid dynamics.

Keynote speakers are:
- Dr. Victoria TIMCHENKO, University of New South Wales, Australia (Numerical and Experimental investigation of natural convection in open-ended channels with application to building integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems)
- Dr. Vit LEDL, Research Center TOPTEC, IPP CAS, Czech Republic (Digital holographic interferometry and its applications in heat and mass transfer research)
