Webinar Content
On Thursday 4 November 2021, MDPI and the Journal Water organized their 4th webinar, entitled "Modern Challenges in Industrial Hydraulics".

The introduction was held by the Chair of the webinar, Prof. Dr. Helena M. Ramos from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Lisbon, IST in Portugal. Prof. Ramos has been invited as supervisor and evaluator of several examinations (projects, PhD, and MSc), and to develop/participate in projects and proposals (covering contacts crossing the EU, Latin America, Canada, Hong Kong, China, and the USA).

The first speaker to kick off this webinar was Prof. Dr. Armando Carravetta from the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Napoli Federico II in Italy. He talked about the eco-design of hydraulic components for energy harvesting in water networks. His research activity is focused on hydraulics, hydropower, pumps, pumping systems, water networks, renewable energy sources, and slurry flows.

The second presentation with the title "Progress in Modelling of Water Hammer" was held by Dr. Kamil Urbanowicz from West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin in Poland. His research activity is focused mainly on numerical and analytical modelling of fluid transients that occur in many systems: hydraulic, water supply, hydropower plants, transmission lines, and cooling or heating systems.

Dr. Óscar E. Coronado-Hernández from the Facultad de Ingeniería at Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar in Colombia gave the last presentation entitled “Hydraulic Transients During Filling and Emptying Processes in Pressurized Pipelines”. His research activity is focused on hydraulic transients with entrapped air in pressurized systems; analysis, modeling, and design of urban drainage structures; and hydrological studies considering climate change effects.

The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
