CONVERGE CFD Forum: Future Fuels and Emobility

September 08, 2026

Convergent Science, in partnership with the CMT - Clean Mobility & Thermofluids, Universitat Politècnica de València, is delighted to announce the 2026 CONVERGE CFD Forum: Future Fuels and Emobility. This one-day event will focus on innovative modeling solutions for technologies for the propulsion and energy sectors. A lineup of technical presentations and prominent keynote speakers will offer insight into the cutting-edge research activities underway in academia and industry in Spain and around the globe.


The CONVERGE CFD Forum will be held on September 8, 2026 at the Universitat Politècnica de València - Ciudad Politécnica de la Innovación (CPI). Our event will be followed by the THIESEL Conference on Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics of Clean Propulsion Powerplants on September 8-11 at the same venue.

Registration closes on September 1, 2026. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!

DAY 1 | CONVERGE CFD Forum: Future Fuels and Emobility

The CONVERGE CFD Forum is a one-day event focused on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of alternative fuels and emobility systems. Our lineup of technical experts will showcase the results of their latest simulation studies and highlight the advances they are making in developing efficient, low-emissions propulsion and energy technologies. Furthermore, our own Convergent Science engineers will demonstrate the benefits of CONVERGE for addressing challenging engineering problems such as battery thermal runaway, electric motor cooling, and alternative fuel combustion. 

CONVERGE CFD Forum Fees:

  • Academic: 50 USD
  • Participant: 120 USD
  • Presenters: Free
  • Corporate Sponsor: Subject to sponsorship package

Following the CONVERGE CFD Forum technical program, attendees who have also registered for THIESEL 2026 will have the opportunity to join the conference activities.



September 08 -11, 2026

DAY 1-4 | THIESEL 2026 Conference on Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics Processes for Clean Propulsion Powerplants

The THIESEL 2026 Conference focuses on the thermo- and fluid dynamic processes occurring in propulsion powerplants, which include thermal and noise challenges in electric components, energy optimization in the global electrified propulsion systems, new injection/combustion concepts based on hydrogen, ammonia, and renewable-fuels, and not excluding any other clean propulsion approach. 

Separate registration is required for this event. Visit their website for more information!
