This two part special issue collates selected papers presented at the 14th International Conference on Finite Elements in Flow Problems held at Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, March 26-28, 2007. These papers were presented at the special session on Computational Methods for Heat and Fluid Flow, organised by Perumal Nithiarasu and Roland Lewis. We thank all the participants of the special session and also thank the authors that have contributed to this special issue.rnA total of 11 papers have been included in this special issue. These papers are divided into two categories. The first category includes fundamental papers in the area of computational heat and fluid flow and the second category includes five papers on the applications of numerical methods to interesting problems of heat and fluid flow.rnThe first fundamental paper discusses a unified model to solve fluid flow, heat transfer and electro-kinetics in solid oxide fuel cells (Arpino et al, 2008).
