3 rd International Multiphase Flow Technology Forum
(IMFTF2026)
7th to 9th July 2026, University of Leeds, United Kingdom
Background
Multiphase flows are of high relevance in many industrial processes. Research in multiphase flows encompasses various scientific and engineering disciplines, different technological contexts, a spectrum of different scales and a multitude of different analytical and experimental approaches. To have a better understanding of multiphase flows and to establish reliable computational models, experimental and computational techniques are of high relevance. The International Multiphase Flow Technology Forum (IMFTF) aims to help exchange knowledge and share experiences within the international community.
Organization
International Multiphase Flow Technology Forum (IMFTF); Leeds Institute of Fluid Dynamics, University of Leeds; China University of Petroleum; Xi’an Jiaotong University.
Chairs
Dr. Timothy Hunter, Deputy Director - Leeds Institute of Fluid Dynamics, University of Leeds, United Kingdom.
Prof. Liejin Guo, Xi’an Jiaotong University, China.
Call for Papers
On behalf of the organising committee, we warmly welcome you to participate in the 3rd International Multiphase Flow Technology Forum (IMFTF2026), to be held 7-9 July, 2026 at the University of Leeds, UK. IMFTF2026 will focus on the following topics (including but not limited to):
