Chania24 Technical Conference Program
Chania24 will showcase 116 papers across 29 technical sessions, attracting engineers and researchers worldwide.
The conference features panels on Sustainable Aviation and Sustainable Power Generation, highlighting turbomachinery’s role in decarbonization.
Five keynotes will explore topics such as off-shore wind energy in the new frontier of the Mediterranean, and advanced manufacturing in product design and novel repair approaches, to more technical presentations dedicated to improved engine concepts, energy vectors (LNG) and physics based data-driven techniques..
Additionally, a dedicated CFD workshop will launch the next-gen compressor data set, promoting code-to-code comparison and validation.
