International School of Hydraulics
(till 2003 a national event) has very long tradition and it was
initiated in 1981 and took place without interruption each year.
Throughout all that long 25 years period it was successfully
chaired by Prof. Wojciech Majewski and organized by
the Institute of Hydro-Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
The School has been organized under the auspices of
the Committee for Water Resources Management of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Starting from the 26th School of Hydraulics organization
was taken over by the Institute of Geophysics,
Polish Academy of Sciences. It turned out to be a great success.
Fifty four researchers from eight countries
(Poland, Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Italy, Russia, Ukraine and Iran)
participated in that School. Lectures and presentations were given
by both renowned and younger researchers from all over Europe.
This year event will be organized in cooperation with the Institute of Advanced Education from Warsaw.

The overall theme of the XXVII School of Hydraulics
is TRANSPORT PHENOMENA IN HYDRAULICS.
We will be interested in the research that contributes to the knowledge base
of a large number of engineering processes and also to some natural processes
that involve the transformation and transport of momentum, matter and energy.
The transformation processes may be chemical, biological, physical,
or a combination of these. We will discuss research that involves
the development of fundamental engineering principles, process control
and optimization strategies, mathematical models, and experimental techniques,
with an emphasis on projects that have the potential for innovation and broad
application in areas such as the hydraulic engineering and environmental hydraulics.
Of particular interest is physics of the transport of various constituents
in flowing surface waters. All the mixing mechanisms such as advection,
molecular diffusion and turbulent diffusion will be considered.
Since the actual open channel flows are usually turbulent some attention
will be paid to the influence of turbulence on the transport processes.
Mathematical models and experimental results that account for all
the transport processes and which reflect the principle of conservation
of mass will be discussed. Studies that develop understanding of
various physical processes and phenomena for subsurface water
and contaminant movements and of the dominant time and spatial scales
are also of interest during that meeting. We realize that all transport
processes in aquatic environment are governed by water flow itself so all
the problems related to the water movement under steady and unsteady
conditions are of great interest.
