10th International Symposium on Ultrasonic Doppler Methods for Fluid Mechanics
and Fluid Engineering (ISUD 10)
September 28-30, 2016, Tokyo, Japan
by Hiroshige Kikura
The 10th International Symposium on Ultrasonic
Doppler Methods for Fluid Mechanics and Fluid
Engineering (ISUD 10) was held at Tokyo Institute ofTechnology, Tokyo, Japan from September 28 toSeptember 30, 2016. The supporting organizations of
this symposium were Laboratory for Advanced
Nuclear Energy Tokyo Institute of Technology andthe Visualization Society of Japan. The symposium
was also sponsored by MET-FLOW SA, Ubertone,
JAPAN PROBE, Flow-Viz AB, Kyokuto Boeki
Kaisha, Ltd., and FlowBiz Research Inc..
The main focus of this symposium is to bringscientists, engineers, researchers, and students fromthe fields of ultrasonic technology and facilitate themfor an exchange of the new innovations and ideas ona utilization of measurement devices based on pulsed
ultrasonic Doppler. The symposium is held every two
years and ISUD 10 was attended by 62 academics
and professionals that came from 10 countries. The

number of participating researchers keeps increasingfor each time the biennial symposium is held. Thisshows accretion of interest on ultrasonic technology
from all over the world.
There were 2 keynote lectures, 1 special lecture,and 37 technical oral presentations were presented in

Yoshikazu Koike presented his research entitled“Positioning and navigation for free-fall typeunderwater observation system”, he had enlightened
the measurement in the deep sea, and were followedby technical session the rest of the day withmemorable evening dinner on Yakabutane Cruisingaround famous area in Tokyo, Asakusa. Last day on
Friday, last 2 technical sessions was held andfollowed by a special lecture from Prof. Endo. The
closing session which was delivered by Prof. Kikura
and Prof. Windhab. Among 12 students’ presentations,the scientific committee had evaluated the papers andthe oral presentations. The winner of the Ubertone
Student Award was Mr. Damien Dufou from ETH
Zürich. Last but not least, after the closing ceremony,all participants had an opportunity to join a laboratory
tour in Laboratory for Advanced Nuclear Energy
Tokyo Institute of Technology.

ISUD10. The keynote lectures were given by thefollowing invited speakers: Dr. Robert Malkin(University of Bristol) and Prof. Yoshikazu Koike(Shibaura Institute of Technology). In addition, Prof.
Gen Endo from Tokyo Institute of Technology wasinvited to provide a special lecture entitled “AccessTechnology Using Robot for Decommissioning Tasks
in which Integration of Robotics and Ultrasonic
Doppler Method”. The 37 papers were divided up
into 6 technical sessions: Applied Flows, Next
Generation UVP, Signal Processing and Methodology,
Flow Metering and Flow Mapping, Fundamental
Flows, and Environmental Flows.
The symposium began on Wednesday morning(September 28) with the opening presentation about
UVP history and future which was delivered by Prof.
Takeda, a pioneer of ultrasonic measurement in thefluid engineering field, followed by a first keynote
lecture by Dr. R. Malkin. He presented an outstanding
presentation of his paper, “Non-destructive Inspection
and sub-wavelength characterization”. Then followedby first technical session and welcome reception. The
second day on Thursday began with the second
keynote lecture. On the second keynote lecture, Prof.

10th Japan-Korea Symposium on Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics and Safety (NTHAS10)
November 27-30, 2016, Kyoto, Japanby Tomoaki Kunugi
topics on nuclear thermal hydraulics and safety:
Track1: Two-Phase Flow Experiments and Analysis,
Track2: CFD and V&V, Track3: Severe Accident
Experiments and Analysis, Track4: Hydrogen
Behavior and Combustion, Track5: Water Reactor
Thermal Hydraulics and Safety, Track6: Liquid Metal
Reactor Thermal Hydraulics and Safety, Track7: Gas
Cooled Reactor & Fusion Reactor Thermal
Hydraulics and Safety. The technical programcommittee selected 102 presentations, invited 2
Plenary lectures and 4 Keynote lectures.
In the banquet, “Geiko(Geisha)” and “Maiko”
were invited. At the beginning of the banquet, they
played the traditional dances and after that, most of
the participants enjoyed the talks with them during
the dinner (Photo 2).

The 10th Japan-Korea Symposium on Nuclear
Thermal hydraulics and Safety (NTHAS10) was heldfrom 27-30, November 2016 at Mielparque Kyoto,
Kyoto, Japan. This symposium was founded and has
been organized by the thermal hydraulics divisions of
the AESJ and the KNS in two neighbor countries.
Since the first symposium (NTHAS1) in Busan,
Korea in 1998, NTHAS has provided a unique opportunity to discuss up-to-date technical information andto interact with colleagues from the neighboring
countries. The second to ninth meetings were held in
Fukuoka (2000), Gyeongju (2002), Sapporo (2004),
Jeju (2006), Okinawa (2008), Chuncheon (2010),
Beppu (2012) and Buyeo (2014) with great success intechnical quality and number of participants.
More than 180 researchers participated in the
NTHAS10. NTHAS10 covered wide range of the2

In the closing session, four panelists addressedtheiropinions
regarding“PerspectivesofJapan-Korea nuclear engineering network and
NTHAS” and was discussed with the audiences.
Finally, the candidate site of next NTHAS in Korea
was announced.
Finally, I would like to thank to all the Organizing
Committee members, Technical Program Committee
members and Local Organizing Committee members
in both countries.
