Shouqi Yuan officially announced the opening of the conference and extended a warm welcome to all the experts and scholars on behalf of Jiangsu University and the National Research Center of Pumps.
Hong Li expressed heartfelt gratitude in her address to the Asian Fluid Machinery Committee, the Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics, as well as other organizations, enterprises, and staff who supported this conference. She also presented the achievements of Jiangsu University's development endeavors. She hoped that the experts and scholars in attendance would actively share and exchange the latest achievements and development trends in the field of fluid machinery through this significant platform of the Asian International Conference on Fluid Machinery, thus collectively advancing the development of fluid machinery discipline in Asia.
Chiyuki Kato remarked in his address that this year's 17th Asian International Conference on Fluid Machinery is the second time it has been held in Zhenjiang. He expressed the hope that the wide array of experts and scholars present would utilize this conference to strengthen collaboration, collectively delve into the cutting-edge issues in the field of fluid machinery, exchange research findings, share knowledge and experiences, all in an effort to promote progress and development in the field of fluid machinery.
Haisheng Chen expressed gratitude to all the members of the Asian Fluid Machinery Committee and scholars from both domestic and international institutions. He highly praised the organizations and individuals involved in the organization and support of the conference. He stated that this conference serves as a platform to promote deeper and wider collaboration in related fields globally. It transcends national borders and cultural backgrounds, aiming to establish mutual understanding, friendship, and seek common paths for development and cooperation. In recent years, Asia has made significant breakthroughs in technological innovation in the field of fluid machinery, becoming an important force that cannot be ignored in global technological development. He hoped that all representatives would actively engage in exchanges and gain inspiration and insights from the conference.
Guang Xi stated that fluid machinery is an integral part of modern industry and technology, playing a crucial role in fields such as energy, aerospace, transportation, and construction. The Fluid Center of Jiangsu University serves as an important base for technological innovation and talent cultivation in the field of fluid machinery, achieving fruitful research results. With the continuous development of the new technological revolution, the traditional fluid machinery manufacturing industry faces both opportunities and challenges. He expressed the hope that Jiangsu University, along with institutions like Xi'an Jiaotong University, would deepen cooperation, accelerate the development of emerging fields, interdisciplinary research, and major engineering applications, thereby creating greater space for the development and cooperation of disciplines related to fluid machinery.
In the subsequent invited lecture session, Haisheng Chen, Chiyuki Kato, Yunji Kim, and Shouqi Yuan delivered excellent specialized reports on the topics of "Research Progress in Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage System", "Industrial Applications of Wall-Resolved Large Eddy Simulation", "Prediction and Evaluation of Non-Synchronous Vibration of Gas Turbine Axial Compressors" and "Research Progress in Fluid Mechanics at NRCP of Jiangsu University" respectively.
The invited speakers are all top experts in their respective fields. They shared the latest research ideas and progress in their reports. Participants engaged in lively exchanges of thoughts and concepts around the academic issues and research findings presented in the reports. Attendees expressed that through the exchange of academic achievements and research ideas, and by discussing the current status of research in this field both domestically and internationally, not only did it broaden their academic horizons, but it also enhanced academic friendships.
In the afternoon of the same day, the 17th Asian International Conference on Fluid Machinery proceeded with academic presentations in seven concurrent sessions. The speakers chose their own topics for the presentations. The presentations covered various areas including computational fluid dynamics, wind turbine seals and bearing fluid systems, fans and blowers, design optimization and manufacturing. Both domestic and international students and scholars delivered speeches in their respective research areas and actively engaged in learning and exchanging ideas.
