4th IAHR Young Professionals Challenge

After three successful editions, in 2024 the IAHR Committee on Education and Professional Development will run the 4th edition of the Young Professionals Hydro-Environment Challenge, which seeks to promote international and interdisciplinary collaboration among young professionals and academics working at institutions across the globe in the hydro-environment field. The first three editions of the project brought together around 200 participants. This event attracts practitioners and academics fostering in both streams future leaders in the hydro-environment field.

  • Design and mentoring by project stakeholders, including universities, companies, and public authorities
  • Evaluation by a jury of senior  IAHR members and representatives from industry partners
Engineering Challenges

Water Resources Challenge

There is an existing mine site which stopped operations and needs to be closed. For many years, the ore was extracted from an open pit, then processed to extract the targeted minerals, and finally, the waste material was disposed in a so-called “tailings storage facility” (TSF). The plan is to treat all the contacted water, release it to the environment, and bury the land which still has some undesired minerals in it (considered polluted soils) using clean soils.
 

Experimental Data Challenge

Carry out an analysis of the mean velocity field and Cts deviations over time around a simple obstacle to the flow (i.e. a cylinder) based on an existing UVP database. Explore a laboratory database acquired with an Ultrasound Velocity Profiler (UVP) in the wake of a cylinder.
