AHMTC
The Australasian Heat and Mass Transfer Conference (AHMTC) series, first established in 1973 by the Australasian Fluid and Thermal Engineering Society (AFTES). AFTES remained one of the leading research forums in heat and mass transfer community since then and the AHMTC thrived as a key national event. The AHMTC series encompasses both fundamental and applied topics across a broad spectrum, including convection, conduction, radiation, turbulence, multi-phase flow, combustion, drying, heat exchangers, and computational and experimental methods. The AHMTC has welcomed participants from Asia and around the world and has the vision of promoting to international domains.
Previous AHMTC conferences were held in:
- 1973, Melbourne
- 1977, Sydney
- 1985, Melbourne
- 1989, Christchurch
- 1993, Brisbane
- 1996, Sydney
- 2000, James Cook University, Townsville
- 2005, Curtin University, Perth
- 2011, Monash University, Melbourne
- 2016, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane
- 2018, RMIT University, Melbourne
- 2022, The University of Sydney, Sydney
AFTES
Founded through Engineers Australia as a technical society, the Australasian Fluid and Thermal Engineering Society aspires to promote professional activities and technical applications in the discipline areas of Heat and Mass Transfer, Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics within Australasia for general benefit of the community at large. The AFTES is managed by its Executive Committee. The current members of the Executive Committee include Prof. Tilak Chandratilleke of Curtin University, Prof. Wenxian Lin of James Cook University, and Prof. Steven Armfield and Prof. Chengwang Lei of The University of Sydney.
