SCOPE

Hydraulic transport of multi-phase flows (mixtures) in closed and open conduits is used in many applications of the mining, energy, chemical, metallurgical and other industrial enterprises for the transportation of main cargos or disposal of various wastes. The settling of solid particles is also useful in many industrial applications, sediment transport in channels and rivers has a direct impact on the natural environment.

The Conference has also provided a forum for the exchange of information on various aspects of pipeline transport of non-Newtonian flows (including oil & petroleum products) and gases by main transport systems and there practical applications worldwide.

The Conference covered all the aspects of conveyance of solids by fluids, motion of solids and solidfluid interaction in closed and open conduits. The aspects of interest included:

• Two-phase and multiphase flow, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow
• Designing, optimization and operation of hydro and pneumo-transport system, wear and corrosions, pumps and valves, etc.
• Sediment transport in rivers and water reservoirs, hydraulic storage of tailings/ sedimentation and thickening
• Measurement assessment and techniques, field and laboratory instrumentation, industrial systems
• Oil and gas pipeline transport, equipment, machines (Special Session)
