The 2025 Workshop on Strategy for Fluid Mechanics was held in Shanghai from April 11 to 13, 2025. The event was organized by the Fluid Mechanics Working Party of the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, under the guidance of the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and co-hosted by Shanghai University and Southern University of Science and Technology.

This workshop, emphasizing "focusing on frontier challenges and serving national needs", gathered leading experts in fluid mechanics, including Academicians Zheng Xiaojing, He Guowei, Lu Xiyun, Tang Zhigong, Xia Keqing, and Duan Huiling. They shared insights on fostering innovation from fundamental research to strategic national applications, exploring interdisciplinary opportunities, and strengthening international collaboration. Keynote presentations covered a broad range of cutting-edge topics, such as wind-sand turbulence, geophysical fluid dynamics in space exploration, AI-driven fluid mechanics, and industrial applications. Discussions focused on strategic directions for advancing fluid mechanics in China.
