Paper Submission

Participants intending to present a paper in Congress should upload a three-page extended abstract composed of an abstract, research aim, brief literature survey, problem formulation, solution methodology and significant conclusions as per the format available on the ISTAM website. Based on the reviewer’s recommendation, communication will be sent to the participants. Once the extended abstract is accepted for presentation, the participant is required to submit a brief abstract (limited to 200 words) or the full-length paper (maximum of twelve pages) as per the format on the ISTAM website, in case the participant wishes to publish it in the e-proceedings of the conference, which is subject to the peer review process.

Young Scientist Award

Three awards, one each, in Fluid Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, and Experimental Techniques or Computational Methods will be given to researchers aged 30 years or below for presenting outstanding research work at the Congress. The researcher should do the work independently with no co-author(s). The author who would like to be considered for the “Young Scientist” award is requested to mention it at the top of the Abstract by writing “PAPER FOR THE YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD” and check the tick mark on “YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD” while you are submitting it on the website. The author must present the award paper personally during the Award Session of the Congress. The Award Session will be held only if sufficient papers are received in each category.
