From Sept. 13 to 15, 2021, AICFM16 was held online by joint efforts of Asian Fluid Machinery Committee(AFMC) and Turbomachinery Society of Japan(TSJ). Party Secretary of Jiangsu University, Prof. Yuan Shouqi, also known as the subject leader of Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics, attended the conference and gave a report. Meanwhile, part of teachers and students of our center joined in the meeting and made academic exchanges.

Yuan Shouqi was invited to make a special report entitled ‘Research on High Efficiency and High Reliability Pumps by the NRCP in Jiangsu University’. He introduced the development of China’s National Research Center of Pumps(NRCP), and reported the latest research progress of fluid center in hydraulic design and optimization, anti-cavitation technology, pump performance monitoring and diagnosis, pump station, two-phase flow pump, nuclear power pump, chemical and petroleum industry pump and water-saving irrigation equipment achieved in recent years.

In the branch venue report, young teacher representative Prof. Zhang Qihua, doctoral candidate Yin Tingyun and Shen Jiawei etc. gave an academic speech on his/her own research area respectively, which receiving deep attention from national and international colleagues.

At the closing ceremony, the Asian Fluid Machinery Committee decided that AICFM17 would be jointly organized by UJS and China Society of Engineering Thermophysics in 2023. Prof. Yuan introduced the preparatory plan of the conference.

As the most influential international conference on fluid machinery in Asia, the conference attracted experts, scholars and researchers in the field of fluid machinery from Asian countries and regions such as China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. The conference fully demonstrated the latest scientific research achievements of our fluid center and further improved the international reputation of our fluid machinery science research.
