ºù«Ӱҵ

Hosted at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ on 18^th & 19^th April 2023, and supported by the EPSRC () and , this workshop was organised by Professor Ian Guymer to bring together researchers, environmental regulators, engineering consultants and water utilities, to hear the latest international research on mixing processes. The workshop was a great success with over 50 people attending the in-person talks each day.

Predicting water quality processes, together with their human and ecological impact, is a major challenge and requires an understanding of mixing processes. In total, 22 presentations from 10 countries, were delivered, highlighting recent advances, and generating robust discussions. Day 1 focussed on mixing in pipes and urban drainage systems, whilst talks on day 2 focussed on environmental flows. Breaks between presentations fostered several useful discussions about the many challenges facing the water industry. At the end of each day, attendees were invited to view the University of ºù«Ӱҵ’s water laboratory facilities.

The and presentation recordings are linked in the programme below.
