Call for Abstracts – Special Session SS-04 on Transient Flows in Hydraulic Systems at the 42nd IAHR World Congress 2027 | Deadline: 15 January 2027
Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 January 2027
Call for Abstracts & Guidelines
Call for abstracts for Special Session SS-04:Transient Flows in Hydraulic Systems, to be held during the 42nd IAHR World Congress in Bari, Italy, from 28 June to 2 July 2027.
Hydraulic transients represent one of the most critical, yet frequently underestimated, phenomena affecting water systems. Sudden perturbations arising from hydraulic operations or natural events can induce severe transient responses, characterized by rapid flow variations and significant pressure oscillations and dynamic forces, potentially leading to catastrophic structural failures.
This special session will provide a concise overview of the scope, fundamental principles, and key assumptions underlying hydraulic transient analyses, with particular emphasis on their implications for engineering practice and applications across hydraulic infrastructure, including hydropower systems, water distribution networks, and industrial flow systems. The session will also highlight current research trends in the field and offer perspectives on emerging challenges and future developments.
