This event is a renewed opportunity for the whole of Fluent's extensive European automotive CFD community to get together again and keep abreast of the latest technical developments in our industry. It is also an ideal place for you to present your work to a knowledgeable and interested audience and to get some valuable feedback from experts and peers working on comparable tasks across the continent.

We are looking for submissions of papers on all aspects of automotive engineering that showcase the advances and benefits of using CFD simulations, either on their own or in combination with other methods. The programme will comprise of submitted and invited papers.

All conference presenters will be rewarded with a personal gift! In addition, there will be three Awards with significant prizes for:

• The Best Overall Automotive CFD Presentation
• The Best Automotive FLUENT CFD Animation

To participate in the Conference, please send us your paper title and a synopsis of up to 250 words. The paper should cover the following aspects:

• Description of the project
• Challenges posed and solutions adopted
• Validations used to verify the CFD approach
• Integration of CFD into your design process and business environment
• Any financial and technical benefits of using CFD in your company because of the project.
