Physical and numerical simulations make it possible for materials science to go from experience-based to science-based, and from qualitative to quantitative. Physical simulations, which effectively reveal the principles of materials’ structure and properties evolutions, save time and money significantly whereas numerical simulations enable the full description and design of various material processes which are impossible experimentally. Both simulations are gaining attention worldwide, and will be a prominent approach of materials research in the 21st century.

Following the tradition of its nine predecessors in Russia (Moscow-2019), USA (Seattle-2016), Finland (Oulu-2013) and China (Guilin-2010, Zhengzhou-2007, Shanghai-2004, Beijing-1999, Hainan-1997, Harbin-1990), the 2025 International Conference on Physical and Numerical Simulation of Materials Processing (ICPNS’2025) will be held in Sanya, China during Nov. 14-18, 2025 to provide a platform for researchers around the world to present their recent advances in physical & numerical simulation methods and their applications in materials designing, processing and testing.
