Scope
The scope of the conference covers from a scientific and engineering perspective, the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of all kind of turbomachinery in the attempt to improve their performance, stability and sustainability characteristics. Of prime interest are the design, the analysis and the operation of axial, mixed flow, radial and unconventional turbomachines:
- Aero-engines and jet engines
- Industrial gas turbines, steam turbines
- Compressors and fans
- Turbochargers
- Hydraulic turbines and pumps
- Wind and marine turbines
- Aero and marine propellers
The papers should describe new experimental and/or theoretical research emphasizing contributions to theory, design methods and optimisation, reliability and operability aspects, where thermodynamics and/or fluid flow are key issues of the analyzed problem.
For example, the latest experimental and computational developments in the analysis of three dimensional flows, unsteady flows and interaction effects would be of primary interest. Consistent with the objective of European technology exchange, researchers involved in EU R&D programmes are encouraged to take this excellent opportunity to present papers demonstrating the technical progress of their projects.
Particular attention will be given to the following areas:
Fundamental fluid mechanics
- Turbulent and transitional flows
- Two phase and wet steam flows
- Multiphase flows
- Particle paths, deposition and erosion effects
- Real working fluid flows
Thermodynamics, heat transfer, cooling and leakage
- Heat transfer and turbine cooling
- Turbine internal and external (film) cooling flows and losses
- Effects of rotation, unsteadiness and temperature non uniformities
- Leakage and sealing flows
- Combustor turbine interactions
Unsteady flows and interactions
- Surge, stall and transients
- Rotor-stator interactions and multi-row effects
- Components interactions (combustor/turbine, fan/HPC, HPT/LPT)
- Vibration, forced response, flutter and aero-elasticity
- Separation and cavitation
- Aero-acoustics, noise generation and reduction
Turbomachinery design, performance and operation
- Optimisation techniques and uncertainties quantification
- Design, analysis and optimisation
- Performance predictions
- Active and passive flow control, including MEMS
- Testing, measurement techniques and experimental validation
- Operational experience and performance monitoring
- Diagnostics, deterioration and residual performance/life prediction
Submission guidelines
Abstracts (1 page) should be uploaded on the society website no later than June 15th, 2026. At submission time, authors are requested to indicate the subject category best fitting their paper focus. Formatting guidelines and requirements can be found on the online submission system.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit a full manuscript of up to 12 pages, including references and diagrams, by October 9, 2026. All papers will undergo a thorough review process. The originality of the submitted manuscript will be ascertained with a plagiarism detection device prior to peer review. Final acceptance will depend on Committee decision based on the revised printable file and subject to its receipt by January 29, 2027. Contributors are required to present their paper at the conference.
Publications
Papers accepted for presentation at the Conference will appear in the proceedings published in electronic format by Euroturbo. The proceedings, issued to the participants at the conference, will be indexed by Scopus. Selected papers of top quality will be offered for publication free of charge in the International Journal of Turbomachinery Propulsion and Power (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijtpp). All other papers accepted and presented at the conference will appear on the Euroturbo website within 6 months after the conference.
The ETC Best Paper Award will be attributed, during the conference, in recognition of excellence among the best contributions.
