VIT-AP Organizes First International Conference on Computational Science and Mathematical modelling

First International Conference on Computational Science and Mathematical modelling has been organized by the Department of Mathematics at VIT-AP University in collaboration with the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The inaugural event was graced by the Chief guest, P. K. Sinha, Director of Computational & Fluid Dynamics at the Defence Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad. In his address, Mr. Sinha highlighted the critical role of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the design and development of state-of-the-art missile systems and technologies required for the deterrence and defence of the country. He explained that CFDs enable engineers to analyze and optimize aerodynamic performance, structural integrity and overall system effectiveness through advanced high performance computer simulations. The insights into aerodynamic parameters such lift, drag, stability and the response of the missile control surfaces are essential for trajectory accuracy and target precision. Additionally, CFD is instrumental in evaluating thermal loads and structural stresses, thereby informing design refinements that improve performance and safety. Academic leader of University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Prof. Fortune Massamba, joined the event virtually as Guest of Honor. He highlighted the importance of cross-border collaborations in advancing computational science and applied mathematics and shared his enthusiasm for strengthening academic ties between Africa and India.

Vice Chancellor of VIT-AP, Prof. SV Kota Reddy emphasized the contribution of mathematical modelling and CFDs in numerous real-life applications and utilities. He also presented VIT-AP’s dedicated efforts for promoting industry-partnership and plans on academic and research fronts to contribute to the national missions on Quantum Technologies and Green Hydrogen inline with AP Government’s Swarnandhra vision 2047. Dean, School of Advanced Sciences, Prof. S Srinivas extended a warm welcome to all attendees of the conference, setting a gracious tone for the event and wished vibrant knowledge sharing sessions and new collaborations for the next two days until 19 July 2025. Conference convener, Dr. Prashanth Maroju elaborated on the vision and objectives of ICSMM-2025. Dr. Sukanta Nayak delivered the Vote of thanks for the inaugural ceremony.
