Introduction
The Aerodynamics and Acoustics Facility (AAF), was formerly named the CLP Power Wind/Wave Tunnel Facility (WWTF). The facility is one of central research facilities at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). The facility was first opened by the Hon. Tung Chee Hwa, Chief Executive of Hong Kong SAR, the Chancellor of HKUST, and the Hon. Michael D. Kadoorie, Chairman of CLP Holdings, on the 9th of June, 2000. Between 2015 and 2019, the facility was redeveloped with a brand new state-of-the-art low-noise wind tunnel, and world-class large acoustic testing laboratories, focused towards to a new era of modern and exciting aerodynamics and acoustics research and development.

The “Workshop on Noise Impact and Control for Low-Altitude Aviation”, jointly organized by Aerodynamics & Acoustics Facility of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Aerodynamics Research Institute of AVIC, was successfully held from October 31 to November 1, 2025. More than 50 representatives from academia and industry participated in technical discussions and exchanged opportunities for collaboration.
We were honoured to have eight world-leading experts share their profound insights in their respective fields:
· Dr. Michael BAUER (SME Munich Aeroacoustics, Germany)
· Prof. Damiano CASALINO (Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands)
· Dr. Bao CHEN (AVIC Aerodynamics Research Institute, China)
· Prof. Julio CORDIOLI (Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil)
· Prof. Michael KINGAN (University of Auckland, New Zealand)
· Prof. Hao LIU (Chiba University, Japan)
· Dr. Gabriel REBOUL (OONERA The French Aerospace Lab, France)
· Prof. Corneliu STOICA (National Institute for Aerospace Research, Romania)
Thanks to all the speakers, attendees, sponsors, and the organizing team. It is through everyone’s joint effort that this event was a complete success!
We had the pleasure of welcoming the China Association for Science and Technology (中國科協) to our research centre, led by the Party Secretary, Mr. He Junhe (賀軍科). Prof. ZHOU Peng introduced our research in Sport Performance Engineering to the visitors
We are delighted to welcome Dr. Harry Lee, Chairman of TAL Apparel Group, and Mr. Edwin Keh, Ex-CEO of The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel Limited (HKRITA), to AAF. Our team introduced our latest development in textile testing and aerodynamics.
