Note: The Conference will be in Hybrid mode.
Publications
It is planned that the peer-reviewed and selected papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Thermal and Fluid Systems (ICATFS-2026) will be published in the Web of Conferences series by EDP Sciences and in the conference proceedings by AIP Publishing. The conference proceedings are indexed in Scopus, ensuring wide visibility and global accessibility of published research. Authors must prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the formatting and submission guidelines prescribed by EDP Sciences.
All submitted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review and quality evaluation process. Only papers that meet the academic and publication standards will be included in the proceedings.
Please note that abstracts, extended abstracts, and short papers (less than four pages) will not be considered for publication.
Selected outstanding full-length papers may also be recommended for possible publication in special or regular issues of reputed SCIE/ESCI/SCOPUS indexed journals, subject to the respective journal’s review policies.
