XLIV International School of Hydraulics

Our upcoming event builds upon the rich legacy of previous editions, continuing to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers dedicated to the broadly understood field of hydraulics. The primary theme of this edition will be Hydraulics under Complex Natural Conditions. Recognising the challenges posed by complexity and heterogeneity in aquatic environments, we emphasise the need to better understand flow dynamics, mixing mechanisms and transport processes under conditions where conventional descriptions are often insufficient. Particular attention will be given to systems where multiple interacting factors—such as vegetation, sediment, and contaminants—modify flow structure and influence the transport and mixing of substances in aquatic environments. These processes remain difficult to describe and predict, especially across scales and under varying hydrodynamic conditions. The School will concentrate on the above topics, but is not limited to them. Contributions addressing other aspects of hydraulics and water-related research, both fundamental and applied, are also warmly welcome. As in previous editions, we aim to provide an inclusive platform for a wide range of studies concerning rivers, lakes, wetlands, reservoirs and other aquatic systems. By bringing together experts from academia and industry, including young scientists, we aim to create an inspiring platform for scientific exchange, collaboration and learning. Together, we will explore recent advances, identify key challenges, and discuss future directions in hydraulic research. Join us in Poland in 2027. We look forward to welcoming you to the International School of Hydraulics.
