The Australasian Natural Convection Workshop series were initiated in 1984. The workshops focus on natural convection and mixed convection problems in heat and mass transfer. The main purpose of the workshop is to provide a small, informal and interactive forum for academics, researchers and research students to interact and discuss their research findings and the direction of future research. The workshop has been previously organised by

• CSIRO – Highett (1984)
• The University of New South Wales (1987)
• Monash University (1990)
• The University of Western Australia  (1993)
• The University of Sydney (1996)
• Murdoch University (1999)
• The University of Sydney (2003)
• The University of Sydney (2013)
• Monash University (2015)
• The University of Auckland (2017)

In the past the number of presentations at the workshop has been limited to about 15 to 20 and a mix of theoretical, numerical and experimental papers have been presented. The participation has mainly been comprised of Australian researchers, academics and research students with a small number of leading researchers from overseas.
