The 10th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH) will be held in Aberdeen, Scotland from 25 to 27 June 2024. Organised by the IAHR Tecnhnical Committee on Fluid Mechanics, the 10th ISEH will build on the success of previous ISEH symposia in bringing together international experts to present and discuss new research, technical innovations and case studies relating to the symposium’s theme “environmental hydraulics for a sustainable and resilient future”.
The Fluid Mechanics Research Group at the University of Aberdeen are proud to host the event, bringing the symposium to the UK for the first time in its history, and to Europe for the first time since the 6th ISEH held in Athens in 2010. It will be held within the University’s historic Old Aberdeen campus, providing an ideal setting in which to share knowledge and to meet old and new friends.

Submit your abstract by 13 October 2023
ISEH2024 is an abstract-only conference. This means there will be no requirement to submit an extended abstract or full paper after your abstract has been accepted. Your accepted abstract will be the document that will be included in the conference book of abstracts.
>>Guidelines and abstract template
The proposed theme for the symposium is “Environmental hydraulics for a sustainable and resilient future”. We invite papers that present new experimental, field-based, analytical and numerical research, technical innovations, and interesting case studies in the following and related subject areas:
Coastal and estuarine hydraulics
Fluvial and open channel hydraulics
Stratified flows and gravity currents
Jets, plumes, mixing layers
Transport, mixing and dispersion
Instrumentation, experiments, modelling
Interdisciplinary studies and emerging applications
Environmental hydraulics for nature-based solutions in coastal environments
Chair: Prof Agustin Sanchez-Arcilla, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain.
We invite contributions on NbS aimed at enhancing coastal resilience and avoiding tipping points, particularly for vulnerable hotspots such as deltas and estuaries. Contributions on the potential application of NbS as components of a hybrid coastal protection are also encouraged. The special session will include field studies, laboratory experiments, and numerical models that address these topics, as well as fundamental aspects of wave and current interactions with natural systems in the coastal zone.
Environmental hydraulics for nature-based solutions in fluvial environments
Chair: Dr Ellis Penning, Deltares, Netherlands.
We invite contributions describing laboratory experiments, field studies, numerical models, and case studies that relate to the design and implementation of NbS in fluvial environments. Contributions that address the fundamental and multidisciplinary aspects of NbS, and the prediction of the long-term effectiveness of NbS at large-scale are particularly encouraged.
Abstract submission for special sessions: Abstracts are submitted through standard abstract submission system, which includes a tick box to enable contributors to indicate if they wish their abstract to be considered for one of the special sessions.
Workshop on Ultrasonic Doppler for Hydraulics in laboratory flumes. The goal of this workshop is to give the opportunity to Master Students, PhD candidates and curious researchers to discover, use and discuss with peers about Ultrasonic Doppler Methods for Environmental Hydraulics experiments.
