Lively Conference on Boiling Heat Transfer
May 4-8, 2003, Montego Bay, Jamaica
by James F. Klausner, ICBHT Chair
Univeristy of Berlin provided detailed experimental data
and analysis explaining steady and transient heat transfer along the entire boiling curve. Masahiro Shoji fromthe University of Tokyo introduced unique experimental data on boiling features from artificial cavities.
Yasuyuki Takata from Kyushu University introduced
a plasma irradiation technique for creating hydrophilic
metallic surfaces that increase the wetting limit and
Leidenfrost temperature. Keith Hollingsworth fromthe University of Houston provided an excellent overview on the appropriate use of liquid crystal thermography in analyzing flow boiling heat transfer.
Whenever conference participants were starting to
get a bit fatigued, Satish Kandlikar and John Thome
could be counted on to liven up the atmosphere with apassionate debate.
At the conference banquet on Wednesday May 7,
David Kenning was recognized for his lifetime contributions to the heat transfer community on the occasionof his retirement from Oxford University. Art Bergles
was also recognized for his lifetime contributions toboiling heat transfer. John Chen and Dieter Gorenflo
were given special recognition for their tireless efforts
in promoting an improved understanding of boiling heattransfer and promoting participation in international
conferences.

The 5th International Conference on Boiling Heat
Transfer (ICBHT) was kicked off on Sunday May 4,
2003 with a very interesting Keynote lecture by David
Kenning entitled, Optical Studies of Boiling Heat Transfer: Insight or Mirage? The conference was held inMontego Bay, Jamaica with the beautiful Caribbean
Sea as the backdrop. Conference participants wereblessed with excellent weather and had an opportunity
to relax along the sandy Jamaican beach while the conference was not in session. During the conference sessions the climate was a bit stormier with vigorous, but
always respectful, debate.
Conference participants convened upon the Islandof Jamaica from four different continents: Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. The qualityof presentations at the conference was excellent, which
covered topics such as experimental methods in boiling, boiling fundamentals, two-phase flow and heat transfer predictions, heat transfer and bubble formation,boiling heat and mass transfer at the microscale, highheat flux promotion, critical heat flux, and boiling of
mixtures.
Some technical highlights of the conference included
the introduction of a new automated high-speed video
analysis technique for analyzing bubble dynamics presented by Reinhold Maurus from the Technical University of Munich. Hein Auracher from the Technical

5th International Conference on Boiling Heat Transfer (ICHBT03)
May 4-8, 2003, Montego Bay, Jamaica
by Paolo Di Marco
The 5th International Conference on Boiling Heat
Transfer (ICHBT03) took place in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on the shore of the Caribbean Sea, from May 4
to 8, 2003. The Conference was efficiently organizedby the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Florida at Gainesville, USA, under the direction of the meeting chairman, James F. Klausner. Gian
Piero Celata, Keith Cornwell, Yasonobu Fujita andJungho Kim co-chaired the event. This is the fifth meetingof a series started in S. Barbara, California, in 1992 afteran idea of Vijay Dhir and John Chen, and entirely dedicated to pool and flow boiling heat transfer: the former
conferences were held in Banff, Canada (1995), Irsee,
Germany (1997), Girdwood, Alaska (2000).
The meeting was attended by about 75 participants,
mostly from USA and Germany, and was divided into
14 sessions, which spanned all the aspects of boilingheat transfer from fundamentals to experimental methods, bubble formation, critical heat flux and dryout,
microscale phenomena, boiling enhancement, and boiling of mixtures. 12 Keynote lectures and 49 contributed papers were presented.
The schedule of the meeting allowed time for open
discussions, which found high interest with the audience and hosted live and sometimes passionate debate,
always in the spirit of great respect and cooperation.
Some of the topics discussed and advancements achieved
are shortly listed in the following. The significant roleof the solid surface was stressed in several instances,
not only in terms of its nucleation sites, but also for its
thermal inertia and aging: this must be considered a•greturning•h rather than a new issue. It is becoming
increasingly clear that the phenomena taking place inthe micro-region around the three-phase contact line of
the bubble are the most important in determining boiling heat transfer, and several models were elaborated inthis respect. The paramount role of nucleation site den-sity and activation was also discussed: in this frame,
several authors evidenced the importance of dissolved
gas content for nucleation and the necessity to control
this parameter during experiments, as well as provide
its value in the reports. The uncertainty in physicalmodels for bubble detachment and nucleation site density still prevents elaboration of reliable and complete
numerical model of boiling heat transfer with bottomup approach, though calculation capability is nowadays available. Finally, the need to consider flow pattern in heat transfer correlations for flow boiling was
highlighted.
During the social dinner the celebration for the retirement of David Kenning took place, who had opened
the meeting with a Keynote lecture entitled: “Optical
Studies of Boiling Heat Transfer: Insight or Mirage?”.
Keith Cornwell, with his British sense of humor, highlighted David’s main achievements of. The outstanding
contribution of Art Bergles, John Chen and Dieter
Gorenflo in promoting discussion and understanding of
boiling heat transfer was also acknowledged.
The main papers presented at the meeting will be
published in a special issue of International Journal of
Heat and Fluid Flow, under the auspices of Frank
Schmidt.
Finally, it was agreed that with 6th meeting of thisseries (ICHBT06) to take place in Italy in May 2006,
being organized by Gian Piero Celata (chairman), John
Thome and Paolo Di Marco. The exact location will be
communicated shortly.

Report of the 3rd Japanese-European Two-Phase Flow Group Meeting
September 21-27, 2003, Certosa di Pontignano, Siena, Italy

by Gian Piero Celata
In the past three decades, world-wide activity in twophase flow has greatly intensified. The number of journals, articles and the conferences that are specialized to
two-phase flow significantly increased on all continents.
The major impetus for the development of an intellectual framework for analyzing two-phase flows has been
provided by needs of the nuclear industry and, to alesser extent, by the petroleum and chemical engineering industry. Because of the complexity of problems
and the urgent need for results, major developments
have been •ghurried•h and have had, many times, astrong empirical component. Moreover, there has also
been a lack in communication among the people working in different branches such as nuclear and chemicalengineering. Consequently they were not accompanied,very often, with an advancement of the field of
multiphase flow that has common roots. In recent years,
interest by the nuclear industry has waned in many
countries around the globe. There is, at present, nolarge overriding issue equivalent to the need of thenuclear industry for safe operations to drive advancements. However, multiphase flow problems abound inmany industries and it is as much important as issue of
understanding blood flow in our body. It is difficult toimagine how an engineer could stay in practice for a
lifetime without being confronted with a multiphaseflow problem whose solution will determine the success of a project.
Japan established the first Society for Multiphase
Flow in 1987 (JSMF, the Japanese Society for
Multiphase Flow, http://www.jsmf.gr.jp/index-en.htm).
Later, an initiative was taken in the US for establishing multiphase flow as a distinct discipline, thus
creating IMuST, the Institute for Multiphase Scienceand Technology (http://crss.ucsb.edu/imust).
The European Two-Phase Flow Group was established in 1963 at the Royal Institute of Technology inStockholm after the EAES Symposium on Two-Phase
Flow, Steady State Burnout and Hydrodynamics Instability. It was founded by Professor Becker, who
held a chair of Reactor Technology at the Royal Institute of Technology at the time. The main objectives ofthe meetings have been always the state of the art reports, synergism of academic and industrial circles anda special care for younger generations (http://
termserv.casaccia.enea.it/eurotherm/etpfgm.html).
At the 2000 ETPFG Meeting in Karlsruhe, a new"virtual" Institute was founded and named the European Multiphase Systems Institute, EMSI. EMSI objectives are broadly to: i) promote, through research,
discussion and scholarship, an understanding ofmultiphase systems for a range of applications; ii) encourage the setting up of collaborative projects with aEuropean dimension, with a strong emphasis on fundamental aspects of multiphase systems, the aim being toprovide a sounder basis for prediction in practical applications (http://www.emsi.fzk.de/).
The proposal to organize the first Meeting on TwoPhase Flow between Europe and Japan came from Japanese participants at the Japan-US Two-Phase Flow
Seminar on Two-Phase Flow Dynamics in Fukuoka in
1996, with the aim to promote the information exchange
and/or collaboration between Japanese and European
scientists and engineers working on two-phase flow.
The First European-Japanese Two-Phase Flow
Group Meeting was held in Portoroz, Slovenia, on June
1-5, 1998, organized by the Laboratory for Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics of the University of
Ljubljana, in collaboration with the Japanese Society
for Multiphase Flow and the Institute of Engineering
Mechanics and Systems of the University of Tsukuba,
and was attended by 41 experts, 15 from Japan.
The 2nd Japanese-European Two-Phase Flow
Group Meeting was held in Tsukuba from September
25th to 29th, 2000, organized by the Institute of Engineering Mechanics and Systems of the University ofTsukuba, in collaboration with the Laboratory for Fluid
Dynamics and Thermodynamics of the University of
Ljubljana, and the Institute of Thermal- Fluid Dynamics of ENEA, Rome. The Meeting was attended byover 70 participants from 13 different countries. The
total number of contributions was 51, 17 from Europe,and, among these, there were 5 joint papers between
Europe and Japan. The following Countries formallyparticipated at the Tsukuba Meeting: Austria, Czech
Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Portugal,
Slovenia, Switzerland and UK.
Considering the success of the first two editions of
the European-Japanese Meeting on Two-Phase Flow,at the Tsukuba Meeting it was decided to hold thisMeeting every third year, and the 3rd edition to be held
again in Europe, and specifically in Italy.
The decision to hold this Meeting at the Certosa diPontignano was made among chair and co-chairs, inview of the wonderful location of this ancient Carthusianabbey built in the XIV Century, completely restored
and fully equipped with the most advanced facilities
for conferences, close to Siena and in the heart ofTuscany. The Certosa di Pontignano allows a meetingof the residential type, with all participants lodging
inside the meeting place, having breakfast, lunch anddinner all together in a friendly, quiet and constructive
atmosphere. The unique features of this meeting, shaped
similar to the European Two-Phase Flow Group Meeting, are:-6-

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.21 (2003) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flowo No advance paper submission but last minute papers brought at the Meeting by participants, i.e.,
fresh material for discussiono Informal and friendly atmosphereo Sufficient time for discussiono Sufficient time for social events and relaxing
Three outstanding lecturers have been delivered at
the Meeting:o Professor Yoichiro Matsumoto, dealing with biomedical application of micro-bubbles
o Professor Goichi Matsui, dealing with simultaneous
visualization of particle/bubble
o Professor Iztok Zun, dealing with the principles ofcomplexity in bubbly flowMore than 60 participants attended the Meeting
and a total of 50 papers has been presented at the Meeting dealing with interfacial phenomena, boiling heattransfer, void fraction, microstructures, waves, bubble
dynamics, bubbly flow, computational methods, measurements, transient and dynamic analysis, droplet andparticle flow, flow pattern and transition, jets, slug flow.
A good deal of variety testifying the vitality of the twophase flow community and the many fields of interest
which this discipline spreads on. Topics dealt with in
the papers suggest that two-phase flow research grows
in new directions. The trends are remarkable in the fieldsof measurement, simulation and applications. The
Meeting was active and fruitful, and useful interchange
in various directions was promoted during the Meeting.
A CD-ROM containing the pdf files of all papers

presented at the Meeting will be prepared after the
Meeting and distributed among participants. Pre-print
copies of the papers have been distributed among participants at the Meeting. A selection of papers presented will be published in the Experimental Thermaland Fluid Science and Multiphase Science & Technology Journals.

The 3rd European-Japanese Two-Phase Flow Group Meeting
September 21-27, 2003, Certosa di Pontignano, Italy
by Tomio Okawa
The 3rd European-Japanese Two-Phase Flow Group
Meeting was held in Certosa di Pontignano, Italy. The
meeting was organized by ENEA, University of
Ljubljana, University of Kobe, University of Pisa andJapanese Society for Multiphase Flow with the support of AVL Powertrain Engineering and Nuclear PowerEngineering Corporation. The meeting was completely
successful as in the two previous ones held in Portoroz,
Slovenia (1998) and in Tsukuba, Japan (2000). I would
like to express sincere thanks to the meeting chair, Dr.
Gian Piero Celata, the co-chairs, Prof. Iztok Zun andProf. Akio Tomiyama, the secretary, Prof. Paulo di
Marco and Dr. Andrea Mariani for their effort to offer
us this nice meeting.
In the meeting, the following three stimulating invited lectures on the application, measurement andmechanisms of two-phase flow were given:- Y. Matsumoto, Bio-medical application of microbubbles- G. Matsui and H. Monji, Simultaneous visualizationof particle/bubble behavior and surrounding flow
- I. Zun, The principles of complexity in bubbly flow
About 50 papers that were presented from 14 countries covered the following fundamental and applied
topics of two-phase flow:- Interfacial phenomena (2 papers)- Boiling heat transfer (3 papers)- Void fraction (3 papers)- Microstructures(1 paper)- Waves (1 paper)- Bubble dynamics (5 papers)- Bubbly flows (3 papers)-7-

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.21 (2003) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flow

- Computational methods (7 papers)- Measurements (5 papers)- Transient and dynamic analyses (4 papers)- Droplet and particle flow (5 papers)- Flow pattern & transition (2 papers)- Jets (4 papers)- Slug flow (5 papers)
It was recognized from the presentations that the
global structure of two-phase flow is significantly governed by the micro scale phenomena; much effort isbeing made to achieve improved understanding of micro scale structure of two-phase flow through analytical, experimental and numerical works.
The meeting was held in an informal atmospherewith casual clothing. This encouraged the fruitful discussion on each presented topic. All the participants
lodged the comfortable rooms in the meeting place andhad all the meals together. Italian foods including pasta,meat, soup, salad and wine were undoubtedly excellent. In particular, it was difficult to escape from themeeting place since the place was almost isolated fromthe other world. These helped us being very friendly
with each other. I wish to express my sincere apprecia-tion once more to all the persons who planned, prepared or executed this distinctive meeting.
Before closing this report, I would like to mention
the blackout that struck Italy in the early morning following the meeting. Because of this problem, my plane
was delayed for ten hours. I guess that other participants from foreign countries experienced similar situation. In my case, however, I could have extra discussion
with some Japanese participants who were also kept in
the Fiumicino airport in Rome. Although the discussion time might be too long, it was also fruitful. For thisreason, the unexpected blackout was rather good fortune than misfortune for me.
