The 15th Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics, organized by Asian Committee of Fluid Mechanics and Engineering Research Institute of Malaysia, was held in Kuching, the forth biggest city of Malaysia from November 19th to 25th. Professor Huang Ning, director of the Key Laboratory of Mechanics on Environment and Disaster in Western China, Ministry of Education, and graduate students Wang Zhengshi, He Wei, Wang Wenbo and Xu Bin were invited to the conference and delivered academic speechs.
Professor Huang gave a report on Drifting snow and its sublimation in turbulent boundary layer, which is so distinctive that aroused extensive attention and heated discussions. After presenting The effect of mountain wind on the falling snow deposition, Wang Zhengshi discussed related details with other scholars. He Wei introduced his work about CFD investigation on influence of erosion and deposition by a bridge crossing the desert, which demonstrates the achievements and progresses achieved by the team of wind-blown sand and environment mechanics of LZU on railroad wind-proof project. Then, Xu Bin shared his work on Investigation on terminal velocity and drag coefficient of particles with different shapes. Scholars from home and abroad had thorough discussions with the team numbers of environment mechanics of Lanzhou University on the theoretical modeling and quantity analysis in coupled multi-field and experimental techniques of multiphase flow which they were interested in.
