ASTRONUM 2026 - the 18th International Conference on Numerical Modeling of Space Plasma Flows in Bordeaux, France, June 29 - July 3, 2026.
The conference will be held in Bordeaux, Centre de Congrès Cité Mondiale, France.
Online registration will open soon.
Abstract submission will be announced soon and will last till June 10.
Organized by:
- Maison de la Simulation (CEA/CNRS/Inria/UPS/UVSQ), Saclay, France
- Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research in The University of Alabama in Huntsville, USA
The conference will cover the following topics:
(1) Advanced numerical methods for space and astrophysical flows;
(2) Large-scale fluid-based, kinetic, and hybrid simulations;
(3) Turbulence and cosmic ray transport;
(4) Magnetohydrodynamics
(5) Software packages for modeling and analyzing plasma flows / Visualisation with the application to
(1) Physics of the Sun-Heliosphere-Magnetosphere;
(2) Interstellar medium and star formation;
(3) Cosmology and galaxy formation;
(4) Stellar Physics.
The purpose of the conference is to bring together leading experts in applied mathematics, space physics, astrophysics, and geophysics to discuss the application of novel numerical algorithms, parallelization strategies, and machine learning techniques to computationally challenging problems.
The conference will be structured to have oral talks and posters, with the attempt to have no parallel sessions.
