IAHR 2023 Asia Kashgarth
The 4 IAHR Asian Working Group Symposium on
Hydraulic Machinery and Systems
12-16 August, 2023
Organizer: Tsinghua University
Co-organizer: Xinhua Hydropower Company Limited
Background
The international Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (lAHR),
founded in 1935, is a worldwide independent organization of engineers and water specialists
working in fields related to the hydro-environmental sciences and their practical application.
Activities range from river and maritime hydraulics to water resources development and ecohydraulics, through to ice engineering hydro-informatics and continuing education andtraining. IAHR stimulates and promotes both research and its application and by doing so it
strives to contribute to sustainable development, the optimization of world water resourcesmanagement and industrial flow processes.
IAHR accomplishes its goals by a wide variety of member activities including working groups,
research agenda, congresses, specialty conferences, workshops and short courses; journals,
monographs and proceedings; by involvement in international programs such as UNESCO,
WMO, IDNDR, GWP, ICSU and by co-operation with other water-related (inter)nationalorganizations.
IAHR comprises of several technical divisions, provides operational framework for theCommittees. The IAHR-Committee on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems deals with theadvancement of technology associated with the understanding of steady and unsteady flow
characteristics in hydraulic machinery and conduit systems connected to the machinery. The
technology elements include the fluid behavior within machine components, hydro-elastic
behavior of machine components, cavitation, and two-phase flow in turbines and pumps,
hydraulic machine and plant control systems, the use of hydraulic machines to improve water
quality, and even considerations to improve fish survival in their passage through hydro plants.
Included in two phase pumping are gas oil pumps and sand laden water. Because model tests
and laboratory tests carried out in laboratories must be scaled down from the prototypes,
studies of size and pressure scale effects are also a central research field. The research workin the Committee forms the basic study for the IEC standards code dealing with hydraulicmachinery for hydroelectric power plants.
The main emphases of the IAHR Committee on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems are tostimulate research and understanding of the technologies associated with hydraulicmachinery and to promote interaction between the machine designers, machine users, theacademic communities, and the communities at large. Hydraulic machinery is both costeffective and environmentally responsible. The increasing atmospheric content of carbon
dioxide related to pollution from thermal power plants, is one of the most significant threats1

to our global ecology. The problem is exacerbated by the need for increased energy
production in developing countries. This results in rising global temperatures and dramaticchanges in climate which may also result in flooding in parts of our globe. Energy conservation
together with replacement of coal and oil-fired power plants are, therefore, needed. The
development and installation of more efficient hydroelectric power plants which work handin hand with water storage and flood protection is part of this strategy. Waterpower is themost significant "renewable resource". The goals of this IAHR Committee are to improve thevalue of hydraulic machinery to the end user and to society and to improve society's
understanding and appreciation of that value.
To meet its objectives, the Committee focuses on the best possible exchange of technicalknowledge through collegial contacts by arranging Committee Symposia every second year,
between the IAHR Congresses. The Symposia are designed to attract scientists and engineersfrom industries, universities, consultants and users of hydraulic machinery. In addition,
specialized symposia are organized focusing on the subjects of its 3 working groups:
WG1 - "Cavitation and Dynamic Problems in Hydraulic Machinery and Systems";
WG2 - "Latin America Working Group";
WG3 - "Asian Working Group".
In recent years, water conservancy and hydropower in Asia have been developed dramatically.
Hydraulic machinery like pump, pump turbines and etc., are widely used in project
construction. There are plentiful scientific and technical payoffs achieved within the related
researches. "Asian Working Group" has held three symposiums on hydraulic machinery andsystems, which are:
Asian Working Group - IAHR Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems, 16–19
November 2017, Beijing, China; (IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science,
Volume 163, 2018 - IOPscience)
2nd IAHR-Asia Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems, 24-25 September 2019,
Busan, South Korea; (IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, Volume 627,
2021 - IOPscience)
3rd IAHR-Asia Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems, 22-23 November 2021,
Kathmandu, Nepal. (IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, Volume 1037,
2022 - IOPscience)
The 4th IAHR Asian working group Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems will beorganized by Tsinghua University and Xinhua Hydropower Company Limited during 12-16

through IOP platform. The conference organizer follows the guideline available from IOP
Science. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed under the category of single-blind review
and accepted manuscripts will publish on Journal of Physics: Conference Series.
The organizing committee will strictly adhere to the following minimum standards. The
information is directly borrowed from IOP Science.
• Unbiased consideration is given to all papers. Papers are considered regardless of the race,
gender, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship or political philosophy of the authors.

• Editors and organizers shall only accept papers where there is clear support from thereviewers.
Conference papers must meet all the usual standards of quality for an IOP Publishing
publication. However, reviewers will take into account the nature of conference papers.
Review papers are also welcomed and accepted. Reviewers will consider background papers
more favourably than would be normal for a regular paper. These allowances shall not go so
far as to approve papers of low scientific standard. Papers that have been published in written
form elsewhere should not be considered.
