| Description |
<P align=justify">The scope of the conference covers the scientific and engineering fluid
dynamic and thermodynamic problems in the design, development and
operation of axial and radial turbomachinery.
".
<LI>Aero and industrial gas turbines
<LI>Steam turbines
<LI>Compressors and fans
<LI>Hydraulic turbines and pumps
<P align=justify">Particular emphasis will be given to the following areas :
<LI>Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic Flows
<LI>Turbulent and transitional flows
<LI>Two phase and wet steam flows
<LI>Particle paths, deposition and erosion effects
</UL>
<LI>Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Cooling and
Leakage

<LI>Turbomachinery Design, Performance and
Operation
<LI>Design, analysis and optimisation
<LI>Performance predictions
<LI>Active flow control, including MEMS

The presentations should describe new experimental and/or theoretical work emphasising the contribution to
theory, design methods and optimisation, reliability and operability. For example, the latest developments in
three-dimensional methods, unsteady flows and interaction effects would be of prime interest. Consistent with
the objective of European technology exchange, the European Commission strongly encourages researchers
involved in EC programmes to take this excellent opportunity to present papers demonstrating the technical
progress of their projects.
