The 10th International Symposium on Cavitation (CAV 2018) was held from May 13-17 in Baltimore, USA. CSSRC researcher Peng Xiaoxing, along with engineer Cao Yantao and assistant engineer Liu Yuwen were invited to attend the symposim.
CSSRC delegation was led by Peng Xiaoxing, with Cao Yantao and Liu Yuwen attented the meeting. Among them, Professor Peng Xiaoxing is one of the members of the Scientific Committee of CAV 2018. As a senior specialist in the field of cavitation, he acted as the chairman of one of the conference sessions. Peng Xiaoxing, Cao Yantao and Liu Yuwen presented their papers and discussed pertinent issues with other participants.
CSSRC fully demonstrated its latest achievements in cavitation mechanism study and further expanded its influence in this academic field. In addition, we laid a foundation for future cooperations and exchanges with other parties. Meanwhile, CSSRC scientific personnel came to know overseas' research focus and challenges in cavitation research through communications with research peers all over the world. This enables them to focus on key research fields and improves their research capacities.
The international symposium on cavitation is currently the world’s leading academic event committed to cavitation. It is held every three years, taking turns in Asia, Europe and USA. Now it comes the 10th CAV. A total of 245 papers were submitted to the conference, and the actual number of participants exceeded 250. Representatives from China are a substantive part of the conference. Most of Chinese researchers come from universities and research institutes committing to hydraulic machineries and ships research. These include Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, Wuhan University, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Jiangsu University, Harbin University of Engineering, Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China Ship Scientific Research Center, etc.
The conference scheduled for 3 days with 6 general sessions and 45 parallel sessions. The topics covered bubble dynamics, sheet cavitation, cloud cavitation and supercavitation, cavitation in fuel systems, fluid mechanical cavitation, numerical methods, experimental techniques, cavitation, cavitation noise, tip vortex cavitation, sonoluminescence, heating, and cavitation applications in biomedical fields.
CAV 2018 was held in Baltimore, United States based on the resolution of the Ninth Conference in Switzerland in 2015. This conference was hosted by Johns Hopkins University, with Professor Katz from School of Mechanical Engineering being the chairman.
