PHYSMOD - International Workshop
Physical Modelling of Flow and Dispersion Phenomena
PHYSMOD (International Workshop on Physical Modelling of Flow and Dispersion Phenomena) brings together the community working on physical and numerical modeling of flow and dispersion processes in the lowest part of the atmosphere, using wind tunnels, water channels, or CFD models. Established in 1999 in Prague, this biennial workshop has attracted a growing number of experts, scientists, and students active in the field.
The workshop provides a forum where the most recent advances in flow and dispersion modeling, state-of-the-art experimental work, and emerging research areas are discussed in an open-minded and friendly atmosphere. A central aim is to foster broader collaboration among researchers and to support knowledge transfer between laboratories and generations. We are especially pleased to welcome students to present their work and to integrate them into our community.
Topics
We invite and warmly welcome contributions from various domains related to atmospheric flow modelling and dispersion processes, encouraging the sharing of valuable experiences. Sessions will encompass, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Atmospheric boundary layer
- Flow and dispersion in the built environment
- Transient properties and buoyancy effects of dispersion processes
- Validation of numerical and analytical models
- A synergy of physical modelling and field measurements
- Quality assurance and improvement of experimental techniques
- OOP - Obnoxious Operational Problems
Date & venue
August 25 - 28, 2026
Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB), Potsdam, Germany
