About ICHD 2026

The International Conference on Hydrodynamics (ICHD) is the forum for participants from around the world to review, discuss and present the latest developments in the broad discipline of hydrodynamics and fluid mechanics. The first ICHD was initiated in 1994 in Wuxi, China. Since then, 14 more conferences were held in Hong Kong, Seoul, Yokohama, Tainan, Perth, Ischia, Nantes, Shanghai, St Petersburg, Singapore, Egmond aan Zee, Incheon, Wuxi and Rome. Evidently, ICHD has become an important event among academics, researchers, engineers and operators, working in the fields closely related to the science and technology of hydrodynamics.

The 16^th ICHD (2026) aims to enhance the exchange of the latest studies and state-of-the-art technologies on hydrodynamics, covering sectors and topics from climate change, coastal hazards, coastal engineering, to AI development, low altitude economy, and policy related to the sustainable development of coastal regions.

Abstract Submission

Abstracts should not exceed 3 pages (the format must be downloaded from the website), inclusive of all text, figures, tables and references.Authors should present the novelty of the research proposed, summarize figures and illustrations (with samples), and include a summary of important conclusions.

Full Paper Submission

All authors of accepted abstracts are obliged to submit a paper of maximum 10 pages. The best papers selected by the international scientific committee, in line with the four multidisciplinary topics, will be proposed for extended presentations within the plenary sessions.

Symposium and Topics

Symposium and five multidisciplinary research topics are focused on:

Theodore Y. Wu Symposium

The Symposium in Honor of Theodore Yao-Tsu Wu
Conveners: Seung-Joon Lee, Tim Colonius, Hua Liu

Professor Theodore Yao-Tsu Wu was a world-renowned fluid dynamicist who devoted his life to cutting-edge scientific research and the cultivation of international talent. His work and his unwavering commitment to excellence set the highest standards for scientific inquiry, and his mentorship shaped the careers of countless students who have made significant contributions in academia, industry, and beyond. He made landmark academic contributions in low Reynolds number fluid dynamics, cavitation, water wave theory, and bionic propulsion. We will organize the Symposium in Honor of Professor Wu’s 102nd birthday as a special session in ICHD2026 to be held on April 14-18, 2026, in Macao.
