Vision, scopes and research focuses

Our aim is to provide with a framework to the transient group community within IAHR association. To the date, there are no other international research associations with a specific representation to hydraulic transients. Eventually, our vision is to organize individual IAHR symposiums or conferences on transients and start to have a sub-theme or a theme on transient in future IAHR congress.

The main focus areas of the working group include:

• Transient waves theory in hydro-systems

• Hydro-system diagnosis by means of transient waves

• Waves-structure interaction in hydro-systems

• Geysers in storm-water and combined sewer systems

• Computational transient flows modeling (in closed or opened conduit flows)

• Transient-turbulent flows (in closed or opened conduit flows)

• Field works: case studies, practical applications and projects
