Conferences

Organized since 2002 under the auspices of the Fluvial Hydraulics Committee of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), the River Flow Conference Series has become one of the main international forum for dissemination of research and industrial practice on fluvial hydraulics and river engineering.

River Flow 2024 will give you with the unique opportunity to present and interact with the latest experimental, theoretical and computational findings on fundamental river flow and transport processes, river morphology and morphodynamics.

The conference will as well cover issues related, but not limited to:

1. River morphodynamics and management
2. Hydraulic structures and impacts on local and catchment sediment transport, flow regime and ecology
3. Sediment, pollutant and microplastic dynamics in rivers
4. Fluid Mechanics, numerical modelling and two-phase flow
5. Climate change and adaptation
6. Monitoring techniques and AI 

Following on the tradition and success of previous editions of River Flow conferences, River Flow 2024 will feature a day devoted to Master Classes for young researchers, daily keynote lectures, ample time for the presentation and discussion of accepted contributions (full papers and extended abstracts), and the presentation of the Stephen E. Coleman Award distinguishing the best paper first authored by a young researcher.

A 5 day educational event involves internal and external speakers educating executive level shipbuilding project managers regarding topics related to shipbuilding project management. Each day consists of three 1 hour modules in the morning, followed by 1 hour for lunch, followed by another three 1 hour long modules, with time for breaks and light refreshments. Monday and Thursday evening social events will be organised also. 

The Institute for Health Research Children, Young People and Families conference will draw together practitioners, policymakers and researchers across the North West to share learning and evidence-based research and practice on supporting health and well-being.

This one-day event on Thursday 23rd May 2024 runs from 9.30am to 4pm and registration includes lunch and refreshments.

Since 2011, the international IAHR/WMO/IAHS training course on stream gauging has been organized in six countries around the world by recognized hydrometry experts. The three-day course consists of lectures covering topics including field operations (gauging station, discharge measurements), data management (rating curves, uncertainty estimation, data review) and field exercises. The course is designed for students, academics and professional hydrologists who want to gain a clear picture of both classic and innovative hydrometry technologies, and get involved in the international community of hydrometry experts.

The short course is offered over three days (31 August to 2 September):

• Day 1 - Lectures on hydrometric field measurements (gauging station, stream gauging, measurement quality and uncertainty).
• Day 2 - Hands-on exercises in the field and/or in the classroom (discharge measurements using conventional and innovating techniques, e.g. radar and image velocimetry, low-tech/low-cost instrumentation, etcetera).
• Day 3 - Discharge computation and hydrometric data management: rating curves, hydrographs, data QA/QC, uncertainty analysis and publication.

International speakers include:

• Alexandre Hauet (EDF and Grenoble Alpes University, France)
• Marian Muste (IIHR, Iowa University, USA)
• Dongsu Kim (Dankook University, Seoul, Korea)
• Jérôme Le Coz (INRAE, France)

The National Hydrometry Team (Olly Baldwyn, UK Environment Agency) will support the course: presentation of the national hydrological service, field operations and instrumentation.
