Dear participants of the 10^th World Conference on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics (ExHFT-10),

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you at the ExHFT-10 Conference in one of the most attractive islands in the world, Rhodes (Greece). ExHFT-10 is the last of a series of conferences organized under the auspices of the Assembly of World Conferences on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics. The conference series launched in 1988 and ever since events have been successfully held in Dubrovnik (1988, 1991), Honolulu (1993), Brussels (1997), Thessaloniki (2001), Matsushima (2005), Krakow (2009), Lisbon (2013) and Iguazu Falls (2017). This time the conference returns to the northern hemisphere, while it keeps the spirit of decentralization, away from big urban centers, to offer attendants a relaxed atmosphere for exchange of ideas, discussions and interactions.

As in former ExHFT conferences, the goal of ExHFT-10 is to set up an international forum of researchers from industry and academia where new research ideas, advanced methods, sophisticated instrumentation and thoughtful results are presented on heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.

Apart from bringing together the well-established community in the field, ExHFT-10 has the ambition to attract also young researchers who will not only report their work to a knowledgeable audience, but they will also communicate present-day science and engineering problems in an effort to identify possible answers to their early career questions.

Looking forward to seeing you in Rhodes!

Professor Thodoris Karapantsios
Conference Chairman
