PURPOSE

ICPF2015 is The 7th International Conference on Pumps and Fans (ICPF), organized by Zhejiang University, Tsinghua University, Jiangsu University, National Key Laboratory of Diesel Engine Turbo-charging Technique, Xi’an University of Technology and Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. The objective of the ICPF conferences is to provide an opportunity to the researchers, engineers and students to report on the latest developments in these fields of pumps, compressors, fans and turbochargers, as well as systems. It is encouraged to present the work in progress with short lead time and to promote discussion of the problems encountered.

SCOPE

The areas of interest are the theoretical research, design and application of pumps, compressors, fans and turbochargers, including but not limited to, design methods, theoretical analysis, experiments, numerical simulation, performance characteristics, mechanical dynamics, cavitation, application analysis, etc. The types of machinery could also include specific sections of fluid machines such as inlet, guide vanes, diffusers, nozzles, valves, bearing, seals, etc.

In order to promote discussion of the problems encountered on these fields both in engineering and academic research, in this conference there are some special forums as follows. These forums will invite distinguished scholars in the world to chair and to give lectures on the new research areas of fluid machinery and to commemorate Professor Zuyan Mei for his contribution to these areas and his organization of the previous conferences.
