General information
The XXVII Fluid Mechanics Conference (FMC 2026) will take place from 23 to 26 June 2026 in Łódź, located in the very heart of Poland. The FMC series (formerly Krajowa Konferencja Mechaniki Płynów) has been held biennially since 1974 at various locations across Poland, under the auspices of the Committee for Mechanics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The 2026 edition is organized by the Lodz University of Technology.
The Fluid Mechanics Conference series is a leading regional event dedicated to presenting and discussing advances in fluid mechanics research, development, and applications. The FMC brings together researchers from both academia and industry, providing a forum for the exchange and discussion of ideas across the diverse fluid mechanics community. The conference covers a broad spectrum of contemporary fluid flow problems.
The International Scientific Committee invites authors to submit abstracts for research to be presented at the upcoming conference. Submissions are welcome on all aspects of fluid mechanics, including fundamental and applied problems, novel experimental and numerical methods, and innovative applications.
In keeping with the tradition of the Fluid Mechanics Conference, the J.W. Elsner Competition will be held under the auspices of ERCOFTAC and PTMTiS. The competition aims to promote the research achievements of outstanding young scientists (up to 35 years of age) working in the field of fluid mechanics.
The Organizing Committee encourages companies and institutions to showcase their innovative solutions, products, and equipment during the conference.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Łódź,
On behalf of the XXVII Fluid Mechanics Conference Committees,
Yours sincerely,
Krzysztof Jóźwik

Open Lecture
As part of the Fluid Mechanics Conference, we are pleased to invite you to the lecture delivered by Prof. Szymon Malinowski entitled Fluid dynamics of Earth's climate:
Atmosphere and ocean are fluids. Fluids flow and carry heat, momentum, tracers. Their motion on rotating planet is governed by differences in absorption of solar energy in the form of shortwave electromagnetic radiation and emission of Earth's energy to space in form of infrared radiation. These are physical principles of weather and climate.
In the lecture, I will show simple, yet barely known physical foundations of climate science explaining recent anthropogenic climate change and climate projections for future.
This is an open event — all conference participants, as well as anyone interested in the topic, are warmly invited to attend.
The lecture will take place on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 18:00 at the Institute of Physics, Lodz University of Technology.
Prof. Szymon Malinowski
University of Warsaw
Prof. Szymon Piotr Malinowski (Institute of Geophysics at the University of Warsaw) is an atmospheric physicist, professor of Earth sciences, corresponding member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, chairman of the Committee on the Climate Crisis at the Presidium of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
His scientific interests focus on: atmospheric physics, in particular cloud physics, atmospheric turbulence, airborne measurements, and numerical modelling. Co-author of over 100 peer-reviewed publications and 3 textbooks, PI and leader of over 20 national and international scientific projects.
He is a science popularizer: co-founder of https://naukaoklimacie.pl/ (Climate Science) website and Climate Education Foundation (https://fundacjaedukacjiklimatycznej.pl/).
Registration
During the online registration process, participants intending to present their work at the Conference will have the opportunity to upload an abstract of their presentation. The registration form includes a field for additional information, where participants may provide any relevant details for the conference organizers. Alternatively, such information may also be submitted directly via the conference official email address. We welcome your participation in the Conference.
