Abstract

The 16th Asian International Conference on Fluid Machinery (AICFM16) was organized by the Asian Fluid Machinery Committee (AFMC) and the Turbomachinery Society of Japan (TSJ) on the web, Sep. 13-15, 2021. This symposium was planned to open at Yokohama, Japan, at first. However, by the situation of COVID-19, AICFM16 was opened on the internet. The number of submissiosns were 145, the number of presentation were 120, and 215 perticipants were attended in the web conference. This is good evidence that research and development of fluid machinery are very active in Asia. The conference is a continuation of the preceding fifteen conferences that have been held in the name of Asian International Conference on Fluid Machinery. It has developed from the fourth conference (1993) as an International Conference though the start was held in two countries of Japan and China. After that the conference was held in Seoul (1997), Johar Baru (2000), Fukuoka (2003), Yichang (2005), Jeju (2007), Kualalumpur (2009), Chennai (2011), and Yogyakarta (2013), Tokyo (2015), Zhenjiang (2017), and Busan (2019). The Asian Fluid Machinery Committee (AFMC) was established during the 9th AICFM 2007 held in Jeju, Korea. List of Committee, Local Organizing Committee are available in this pdf.
