The 2nd International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures

The aim of the 2nd International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures (IJREWHS’08) is to provide an opportunity for young researchers and engineers (typically post graduate students, but also young researchers and engineers in both public and private sectors) to present ideas, plans, and preliminary results of their own research in an inspiring, friendly, co-operative, and non-competitive environment.

The workshop sessions will be chaired by the junior participants, who will play a major role in preparing reports and identifying key scientific elements and pending questions for all sessions. Therefore, the main goal is to learn from and help each other in solving scientific and engineering problems. The IJREW on “Hydraulic Structures” addresses conventional and innovative aspects of hydraulic structures design, operation, rehabilitation, and interaction with the environment. The main topics of the workshop will include:

  1. New developments in the design, construction, operation, monitoring, maintenance and rehabilitation of hydraulic structures

B Instrumentation and technology in the laboratory experiments and field tests

  1. Intakes and outlets, spillways, fish ways and energy-dissipating structures
  2. Two-phase flow, pipe flow, cavitation, vibration and aeration
  3. Environmental and ecological impact of hydraulic structures
  4. interaction between sediment transport and structures

Different approaches are welcome, namely experimental, theoretical and numerical modelling. The workshop will be held for three days; in the second day the technical visit will take place.
