On November 22, International Forum on Fluid Machinery and Engineering UJS-Ebara Summit 2018 was successfully held inNational Research Center of Pumps, which was also the appointment ceremony of Jiangsu University’s part-time professor,Dr. Akira Goto. The forum invitedDr. Akira Goto, President of Japan Turbo Machinery Association, Dr. Hiroyoshi WATANABEof Ebara Corporation andDr. Wang Peng of Advanced Design Technology.

Jiangsu University Chair, Prof. Yuan Shouqi, firstly showed warm welcome to the representatives. Then he awarded Dr. Akira Goto the certificate of guest professor and presented him with the badge of Jiangsu University. The two sides have conducted fruitful exchanges in teaching, personnel training, and scientific research cooperation. After the opening of the International Forum on Fluid Machinery and Engineering, Dr. Goto first gave a wonderful report on the challenges faced by the flow control methods in the pump. And then Dr. WATANABE and Dr. Wang Peng also reported on the accurate inflow numerical simulation of the three-stage centrifugal pump and the optimal design of the pump for the turbine runner.The representatives of Research Center of Fluid Machinery Engineering and Technologyalso gave a wonderful academic report on the waterjet propulsion system, high-end dredging pump, and multistage pump design and advanced pump optimization methods.

After the forum, Dr. Goto and Dr. WATANABE visited the laboratories ofResearch Center of Fluid Machinery Engineering and Technology. They fully affirmed the construction level of the laboratories and hoped that the two sides could cooperate in the pump’s experimental research.
