International Conference on Multiphase Flow 2016 (ICMF2016)
May 22-27, 2016, Firenze, Italy
by Alfredo Soldati and Cristian Marchioli
The 9th International Conference on Multiphase
Flow (ICMF2016) hosted by the University of Udine
was held at the Firenze Fiera Conference Center,Firenze, Italy from May 22 to May 27, 2016.
The conference was co-sponsored by the Italian
Association of Chemical Engineers (AIDIC), theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers, theEuropean Research Community on Flow, Turbulence& Combustion (ERCOFTAC), the Italian Associationof Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, the Italian
Association of Industrial Plant Engineering (ANIMP),the International Center of Mechanical Sciences(CISM), CINECA and the University of Udine.
ICMF2016 is the premier international
conference for multiphase flows, and brought
together researchers from many countries, disciplines
and applications, facilitating the communication ofnew ideas and the initiation of new collaborations.
The number of participants who attended theconference was 1052 from more than 50 countries allover the world: This was the largest number ofattendees in the history of ICMF, and reflects thegrowing interests on multiphase flow phenomena.
The multi-disciplinary nature of ICMF2016 wasattested by the technical programme, which featured
929 papers (858 oral presentations and 71 posters)
distributed over 14 parallel sessions and covering thefollowing scientific topics: Bio-fluids, bubbly flows,boiling, condensation and evaporation, cavitation andnucleation, collision, agglomeration and breakup,
colloidal and suspension dynamics, computational
techniques for multiphase flows, droplet flows,
environmental and geophysical flows, experimental
methods for multiphase flows, fiber suspension flows,
finite size particles and droplets, fluidization,
fluid-structure interactions, granular media, industrial
applications, interfacial flows, instabilities, microand nano-scale multiphase flows, mixing, modellingof multiphase flows, multiphase flow in heat andmass transfer, non-Newtonian multiphase flows,

The programme of ICMF2016 also included thePoster Competition (the three best posters wereawarded with full reimbursement of the registrationfee), 5 plenary lectures (given by Professors Christine
Hrenya, Joseph Katz, Detlef Lohse, Kazuyasu
Sugiyama and Stéphane Zaleski), 10 semi-plenary
lectures (given by Professors Yutaka Abe, DieterBothe, Mickael Bourgoin, Joseph Dufek, Ho-Young
Kim, Dominique Legendre, Omar Matar, Giovanna
Vittori, Evelyn Wang, and Roberto Zenit) and 2
ICMF Award lectures (given by Professor SaidElghobashi, recipient of the Senior Award, andProfessor Olivier Desjardins, recipient of the JuniorAward).
The conference welcomed delegates in thecenturies-old park of the Conference Center onSunday, May 22. The official opening ceremony ofICMF2016 was held in the Auditorium on Monday,
May 23 at 8:30 am. Prof. Alfredo Soldati, theconference chair, delivered the opening address
followed by congratulatory messages from Prof.
Tomoji Takamasa, president of the Japanese Society
for Multiphase Flow, and Prof. Jacques Magnaudet,
chairman of the ICMF Governing Board.
The technical programme started on Monday at
9:00 am and ended on Friday, May 27 at 1:00 pm.
Each day was opened by a plenary lecture, followedby parallel technical sessions in the morning,semi-plenary lectures followed by parallel technicalsessions in the afternoon. The poster session took
place at 5:40 pm on Tuesday, followed by a Pizza
Show Cocktail. The Senior Award lecture at 5:45 pm
on Wednesday, the Junior Award lecture at 6:15 pm
on Thursday. The Conference Banquet was held on

Wednesday at the Nuovo Teatro dell'Opera andaccommodated 870 delegates. Before the Banquet,delegates had the exclusive chance to attend the Dress
Rehearsal of the Orchestra and the Chorus of theMaggio Musicale Fiorentino festival. During theBanquet, the recipients of the Senior and Junior
ICMF Awards were announced, along with the six
newly-elected members of the Governing Board andthe recipients of the Poster Award.
During the Closing Ceremony on Friday, thelocation for ICMF2019 was announced. The next
meeting will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
Professor Oscar M. H. Rodriguez, from theUniversity of Sao Paulo, will be the conference chair.
The conference was organized with the great helpof many individuals and organizations. The 16
members of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC),
together with the 12 members of the Governing
Board and the 75 members of the International
Scientific Committee, reviewed all the submitted
abstracts, advertised the conference, and assisted in
the selection of invited speakers. In addition, theLOC organized the technical sessions, student
assistants, and judging for the Poster Award. Special
thanks must be addressed to AIDIC for theoutstanding administrative management of theconference, and to the Firenze Convention & Visitors
Bureau for the logistics support and conference
services provided.
