SELECTION

Each paper will be selected through its abstract emphasizing the topic and interest of the presentation. All abstract submissions will be assessed by members of the Executive Scientific Committee, who will inform the authors of acceptance by February 01, 2027, at the latest. Notification will be accompanied by detailed instructions allowing authors to prepare and submit their full paper online.

We remind all submitters that papers and presentations should not resemble a company, service or production sales pitch. AERO is a scientific conference which promotes scientific research.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE & PUBLICATIONS

Papers must be submitted and presented in English. The written version of each communication will be in English and must be submitted on this website by June 7, 2027, to allow its inclusion in the conference proceedings. A 3AF template file will be provided for manuscript preparation. Failure to comply with the deadlines and instructions will entail not having the full paper included in the conference proceedings.

The authors of the most instructive contributions will be invited to submit extended versions of their work for possible publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow. This special issue does not constitute the conference proceedings. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by the Guest Editor-in-Chief and the Advisory Editor of the journal. If the article is judged suitable for publication, it will be sent to at least two independent referees for peer review through the journal’s rigorous evaluation process. Authors are nevertheless free to publish their paper in any other journal; a reference to the conference would then be appreciated.
