The 3AF International Conference on Applied Aerodynamics focuses each year on a different topic representative of current concerns in the field of aerodynamics. It is organized around five sessions, each of which is introduced by a keynote speaker in the field covered by the session.

In 2024, the conference will focus on emerging approaches in aerodynamics, taking advantage of massive data being collected from high-fidelity numerical simulations, highly instrumented wind-tunnel testing and innovative flight tests measurements.

The conference will cover both external and internal aerodynamics. The experimental, theoretical and numerical aspects, ranging from fundamental research to industrial applications will be addressed. This conference will consider problems encountered in the aerospace domain (both military and civilian) and in the transportation domain including electric air taxis and in energy production, such as wind turbines for instance.

This 58th Edition, hosted by the Department Fluid, Energy, Combustion, Propulsion (FECP) at the PRISME Laboratory of Orléans University, intends to gather experts in diverse fields to share their perspectives on Emerging Approaches in Aerodynamics.
