Completion of the 5th International Conference on Multiphase Flow
May 31 - June 3, Yokohama Pacifico Conference Center, Yokohama, Japan
by Fumio Takemura
I just followed their leadership.
By excellent good fortune, the conference succeededwith no problems. Afterward, we received many wordsof praise from conference participants. I am proud that
I could take part in such a great conference as a memberof the local organizing committee, and I would like toexpress my appreciation to both Professor Matsumotoand Professor Hishida for providing me that precious
opportunity.
Finally, I was presented the ICMF Junior Award at
this conference. I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the ICMF Award committee, international organizing committee, and international
scientific committee. Also I would like to express mysincere appreciation and gratitude to Professor
Matsumoto, Professor Hishida, and the others haveadvised and supported me from the very beginning to
the successful end.

I took part in the 5th International Conference on
Multiphase Flow (ICMF-2004) as a member of thelocal organizing committee. Preparations by the committee members started several months before the 4thInternational Conference on Multiphase Flow. Fortunately it was officially decided at that conference thatthe next conference would be held in Yokohama. All
members of the local organizing committee then began
the real preparation for the conference.
This huge international conference, attended by morethan 500 people, required a correspondingly huge budget. Unfortunately the Japanese economy was not sogood at that time; it was predicted that financial support by domestic companies and organizations would
be difficult. In such a situation, it is very difficult tohold a successful conference, so the responsibilities ofthe local organizing committee increased. The unity of
the committee members, however, was strong enoughthat we overcame many difficulties. The troika system,composed of Professor Matsumoto as head plus Professors Hishida and Tomiyama, ensured that we could
reach our goal without any collapse of the system. I
was impressed with the liberal personality of Professor Matsumoto and the executive ability of Professors
Hishida and Tomiyama, which enabled our success.
Although assuming responsibility as secretary-general,

CHT-04: 3rd ICHMT Symposium onAdvances in Computational Heat Transfer
April 19-24, 2004, MS Midnatsol, Norwegian Coastal Voyage, Norway
by Graham de Vahl Davis and Eddie Leonardi
Co-chairs
Summary: CHT-04 took place on the Hurtigruten
Coastal Steamer MS Midnatsol during its voyage down
the Norwregian coast between Kirkenes and Bergen,
Norway. The weather was, of course, cold - Kirkenes
is at 70o N latitude - but was generally fine and thevenue provided opportunities for both professional
interaction and tourism. The symposium was co-sponsored by the International Centre for Heat and Mass
Transfer and the CFD Research Laboratory, The University of NSW, and was financially supported by
Bentours International Pty. Ltd. CHT-04 was a scientific, social and financial success.
Conference facilities: MS Midnatsol is a new ship,
ideal for hosting a conference. It can accommodate over
600 passengers and is equipped with first-class confer-ence facilities including a 200-seat auditorium with A/Vequipment and two small rooms which were used forthe poster sessions.
One advantage of having a symposium on board a ship
- especially on the Norwegian Coastal Voyage - is thatdelegates are less tempted to arrive late or leave early.
Technical program: The programme featured eight
invited keynote papers, three invited speakers at a Computational Combustion mini-symposium, two invited
speakers at a Verification & Validation panel discussion
and 95 contributed papers.
Among the contributed papers were the following, ofparticular interest to workers in multi-phase flow:-3-

Conclusion: Following the Symposium, many delegates wrote their appreciation: "this great CHT-04
cruise conference"; "the Norwegian venue was wonderful"; "unforgetable".
The organisers are very gratified with such remarks,
and cannot recommend this venue too highly for a conference of up to 200 participants.

ILASS 2004
September 6-8, 2004, Nottingham, UK
by Barry Azzopardi
Report on the 19th Meeting of the Institute for Liquid
Atomization and Spray Systems - the ILASS 2004
Conference - held at Nottingham, U.K. on 6th to 8th
September 2004 by Barry Azzopardi, School of Chemical, Environmental and Mining Engineering, Universityof Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD,
United Kingdom.
A good show is hard to follow. Therefore, I was initially apprehensive to have to organise the local (European) meeting the year after the successful International Conference (ICLASS) at Sorrento in July 2003.
However, having worked with an excellent group of
persons, I am pleased to report on a very successful
meeting. The chairmen of ILASS (Europe) - Professor
Antonio Cavalieri, of ILASS (Americas) - Professor
Chris Edwards as well as Professor Lee of ILASS International were all in attendance.
ILASS has recently lost one of its leading lights. The
community is mourning the death last year of Professor Arthur Lefebvre. The meeting was a tribute to anda celebration of his life and work. This was appropriate as Arthur Lefebvre was born in Nottingham andwas educated locally, gaining his batchelor's degree inengineering at the precursor of the University of

Nottingham. His career and achievements weremovingly recalled by his one time colleague, Dr Arvind
Jasuja of Cranfield University, during the opening ceremony of the conference. The participants gave a heartyround of applause at the end of this as befits a celebration of such a positive person as Arthur Lefebvre.
In the conference itself, there were four keynotes and
104 papers presented (the latter in three parallel sessions). One hundred and eighty delegates from Europe(U.K., Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Germany,
Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy,
Greece, Spain and Portugal) was well as further afield(USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, Turkey, Israel) participated with enthusiasm.
The proceedings were opened by a keynote lecture given
by Dr Hamish Low (Director, Combustion Engineering, Rolls Royce plc, Derby) who brought out the sometimes conflicting requirements of gas turbine aero-engine design and how understanding of atomisation andsprays has led to significant improvements in performance. Professor Chris Edwards of Stamford University, USA reminded the participants that the control ofpollutants from automobile engines has now been reduced to levels which decades ago were considered un-- 10 -

thinkable. He then went on to point out that a newbattle has emerged, that of combating environmental
change due to carbon dioxide. Though noting that there
were political, industrial, societal, and technical aspects,
in his keynote lecture he attempted to outline the scopeand magnitude of the problem and areas where technical progress from the sprays community may help contribute to a solution. A lively and thought provoking
lecture was given by Philip Threlfall-Holmes of ICI,
UK who brought to the audience's attention the many
possibilities for spray applications in the manufactureof consumer products where the morphology of the
product could be strongly influenced by the production history. Dr Oskar Haidn of the German SpaceTechnology Centre, Lumpoldshausen, then enthralled
the audience with the enormous size of rocket engines
for space technology. His keynote lecture placed research on sprays in Space Technology in to a very
understandable context
The papers presented covered a wide range of topics
involving drops. There were sessions on Gas Turbines, Automotive applications, Modelling, Measurement Techniques, Spray Characterisation, Space Technology, Medical Applications and General Applications.
It is invidious to pick out any papers for special approbation. However, Cambridge University Press andSpringer Verlag had provided prizes for the best papers. These went to M. R. Maneshkarimi for Numerical Investigation of Turbulence- Evaporating SprayInteraction in a Swirling Combustor Flow by M. R.
Maneshkarimi and A. Sadiki of the University ofDarmstadt, Germany and D.Yildiz for Droplet Size And
Velocity Characterizations of a Supereheated Two-phase Flashing Jet by D.Yildiz, P.Rambaud, J.P.A.J
Van Beeck from the Von Karman Institute for Fluid
Dynamics, Belgium.
Feedback from the participants has been very positive.
I am particularly pleased that the informal atmospherethat I had aimed to achieve was appreciated by many.
Thanks are due to the organising committee Doug Brown
and Hong Sun of SCHEME Nottingham, Aroussi andSteve Pickering of Mechanical Engineering, Nottingham,
Graham Wigley, Automotive Engineering ,Loughborough, Arvind Jasuja, Cranfield and Ghasem
Nasr and Andrew Yule from the Spray Technology
Centre at Salford.
The papers presented at the meeting have been produced as a bound volume. Copies of this may be purchased from the School of Chemical, Environmental
and Mining Engineering, University of Nottingham,

Third International Symposium on Two-Phase Flow Modelling and Experimentation
September 22-25, 2004, Pisa, Italy
by Gian Piero Celata and Paolo Di Marco
The Third International Symposium on Two-Phase
Flow Modelling and Experimentation was held in Pisa,
Italy, during September 22-25, 2004. It was jointly organized by The Assembly of World Conferences on
Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics And
Thermodynamics, the ENEA Institute of Thermal-Fluid
Dynamics, and the Department of Energetics, University of Pisa, with participation of the Japan Society ofMultiphase Flow. The Symposium was chaired by Gian
Piero Celata and co-chaired by Ramesh K. Shah. Paolo
Di Marco acted as Scientific Secretary, and the Organizing Committee was chaired by Andrea Mariani.
The intention of this Symposium, since the firstedition, was to bring together the whole international
multi-phase flow community, i.e. not only experimentalists or theoreticians or numericists, but all of them
together to look for a synergic effect. In fact, the organizers strongly believe that interchange of ideas be-

tween experimentalists and people involved in mathematical modelling is of the utmost importance for synergism between the two disciplines.
The two first editions of this Symposium were
held in Rome in 1995, and in Pisa in 1999. At the first
Symposium 162 papers were received, plus 6 keynote
lectures, and about 225 participants attended the event.
The number of papers at the second Symposium raised
to 246 (50% more than in 1995) and more than 290
people came to Pisa. This time, notwithstanding the
ICMF Conference was held in Yokohama in June thisyear, the number of papers raised again up to 340 (38%more than in 1999 and more than the double than in1995) and the Symposium gathered about 350 participants, a clear evidence of increasing favor among thescientific community.
The previous two editions of this Symposium, andespecially the first, were mainly dedicated to gas-liquid- 11 -

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.23 (2004) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flow

flow; this time much wider distribution of subjects in
multiphase flow was covered, with gas-particle, liquidliquid and three-phase flows well represented. Some of
the major topics covered, beside the traditional ones,
such as boiling and condensation, were combustion,
porous media, bubble dynamics and bubbly flow, measurement techniques, heat transfer enhancement, micro- and mini-channels, process and industrial applications. The main theoretical and experimental aspects of
two-phase flow in gas-liquid, gas-particle and liquidliquid flow were tackled.
Distribution of papers by country is: 41 Japan, 34
Russia, 32 Italy, 25 Germany, 24 France, 20 China, 19
Poland and USA, 14 Korea, 11 UK, 10 The Netherlands, 9 Brazil and Spain, 8 Portugal, 6 Canada, 5 India,
etc. Globally, papers were gathered from more than 40
countries, and this is an indication of the network existing in the two-phase flow community, and how globalization is a positive term in our community. The highscientific quality of accepted papers was maintained
high through a review process on full-length manuscripts,
handled by the 39 Lead Scientists (members of the Scientific Committee). The proceedings of the Symposium have been distributed to the attendants in CDROM format, and will be issued in printed volumes
after the conference: it is hoped that they will be an
excellent reference point for many years to come. Copies of the CD and of the volumes are available from theorganizers.
The Symposium gathered about 350 participants.
Distribution of participants by country was: 52 Japan,
51 Italy, 36 Germany, 30 France, 20 USA, 17 Russia,
15 UK, 12 Poland, 11 Korea and 10 The Netherlands.

Presentation of papers, all in stand-up sessions, wasorganized in 7 parallel sessions, with a total of 65 sessions. Seven outstanding keynote lectures, covering thestate-of-the-art on multiphase flow, were delivered inplenary sessions. Papers in the Open Forum Session
were presented in the poster format, besides in a shortpresentation in an oral session.
The Symposium had a follow-up on Saturday witha special Mini-Symposium to celebrate the 65th birthday and the career of Prof. Richard T. Lahey. Six keynote lectures, spanning the field of multi-phase flows,
were delivered by R.T. Lahey, R. Taleyarkhan, R.
Nigmatulin, G. Hewitt, G. Yadigaroglu and S. Banerjee.
They will be published along with some selected contributed papers of the Symposium, in a special issue of
Nuclear Engineering and Design. A special issue of Experimental Thermal and Fluid Sciences, containing selected papers from the Symposium, will be publishedas well.
The Internet site of the Symposium(www.ing.unipi.it/pisa04) will remain opened after the
meeting as a reference information point for the Symposium complete program and the proceedings.

the near-interface turbulence.
(KL7) Prof. D. Lhuillier from Universite Pierre et Marie
Curie, Paris, France talked on the approaches
on the modelling of volumetric interfacial area in
two-phase flows using his transparencies.
Banquet was held at La Stazione Leopalda from20:30. The huge hall for hundreds of participants has
been used as a train station. A course of various Italianpastas and foods were served until 24:00 with bottles
of Tuscany red wine, Chianti.
The symposium was one of the most fruitful symposiums for me, since we could spend enough time forexchanging our ideas with other participants thanks to
the following features of the symposium:(1) All chairmen kept to a minute to save at least fiveminutes for discussion after each presentation,(2) Coffee-breaks were scheduled before and after noon
for as long as thirty-minutes at the front hall where
we could easily find right researchers,(3) A number of active researchers working on modelling, experiments and numerical analysis on a topic
shared some time within the friendly two-phaseflow community.
