Report on “The 3rd International Conference on Jets, Wakes and Separated Flows”
ICJWSF-2010, September 27-30, 2010, Ohio, USA
by Shakouchi Toshihiko
Joint Fluids Engineering Conferences. The number ofpresentation paper was 124 and participants wereabout 200 researchers and engineers from 17
countries, and the selected papers were published as
the “Special issue on Jets, Wakes and Separated
Flows” at the JSME International Journal, Ser.B,
Vol.149, No.3, 2006.

1. About ICJWSF“The 3rd International Conference on Jets, Wakes andSeparated Flows, The 3rd ICJWSF-2010, Cincinnati”
was held at Marriott Kingsgate Conference Center,
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA during September 27th to 30th,
2010 (Figs. 1, 2). The Chairperson was Prof. E.
Gutmark, Univ. of Cincinnati. One of the Cosponsor
was JSMF (Japan Society for Multiphase Flow). The
main topics of the conference were about jets, wakes
and separated flows including multiphase flow, flow
control, experimental and numerical, and others.
The 1st Conference was held at Toba HotelInternational, Mie, Japan during October 5th to 8th,
2005. The Chairperson was Prof. T. Shakouchi, Mie
Univ.
This conference was prompted newly by theearlier successes of the meetings about “Jets, Wakes
and Separated Flows” at the JSMF and JSME, many
Organized Sessions and the OS at The 3rd and 4th
ASME/JSME (Japan Soc. of Mechanical Engineers)

49th European Two-Phase Flow Group Meeting
May 29 – June 2, 2011, Tel-Aviv, Israel
by Yehuda Taitel
is a prestigious meeting for invitees only that areexpert in their field. Most of the participants are from
Europe but it may include some distinguishedscientists usually from the U.S. and Japan. The
purpose is to establish informal get-together of firstrate scientists dealing in multiphase flow withapplication to energy and environment and to present
up-to-date research activity. Emphasis is placed on
discussion and exchange of ideas. It is acceptable, andThe 49th European Two-Phase Flow Group Meeting
was held in Tel-Aviv, May 29 – June 2, 2011. It wasorganized by Tel-Aviv University, School of Mechanical Engineering. The conference chairman was
Prof. Yehuda Taitel, Co-chairman Prof. Lev Shemer.
Scientific committee: Professors: Dvora Barnea,
Neima Brauner and Amos Ullmann.
The ETPFGM is unique and it has a very special
character unlike most other professional meetings. It

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.36 (2011) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flowlectured on drops dynamics, Prof. Joseph Katz fromJohns Hopkins University, USA discussed breakageof droplets in a turbulent field and Yair Shokef fromthe Weizmann Institute, Israel spoke on models ofdisordered matters.
Success of a meeting is associated not only withgood presentations but also with social events. The
location of the conference in a hotel that from every
window the beautiful sea shoreline is visible had aconsiderable contribution to the pleasant special
atmosphere. The meals were excellent and the coffee
breaks took place without a break. We had a starting
Cocktail, tour of old Jaffa the old restored part of
Tel-Aviv (Neve Tzedek) which ended in a niceoriental restaurant at Tel-Aviv Port. Finally the Gala
dinner took place on the hotel roof from which thespectacular landscape of Tel Aviv surrounding isvisible.
We feel that the conference was very successful.
We may quote an E-mail from Prof. Iztok Zun:in fact encouraged, to present incomplete work inorder to enhance fruitful discussions.
The meeting is a yearly event that has a long
tradition. The first meeting was established on
October 4th, 1963, at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Since then it took place in alternating European cities. Last one was held in Brunel
University, London. During 1975 it was held in theTechnion, Israel Institute of Technology, directed by
Prof. Gad Hetsroni.
The 49th ETPFGM was held in Carlton Hotel,
located along the Tel-Aviv Mediterranean shoreline.
Business Time scanorama Ltd Company helped withthe organization. About 50 scientists attended themeeting, 30 from Europe, USA, Japan and Venezuela
and 20 from Israel. Since the conference was in
Israel it was an opportunity for young Israeli scientists, usually not invited to these meetings, to be
exposed to the colleagues from abroad.
Financial support was provided mainly by
Tel-Aviv University and by Ben-Gurion University of
the Negev, Technion Israel Institute of Technology,
Afeka Tel-Aviv academic college of engineering,
Holon Institute of Technology and Ormat Systems
LTD company.
Out of 36 presentations 5 were Keynotes. Prof
Golan Michael from NTU, Norway reviewed the
problems and challenges in the oil industry, Prof.
Akio Tomiyama from Kobe University, Japan talked
on the effect of contamination on bubbles and drops
motion, Prof. Avinoam Nir from the Technion, Israel,

Thank you very much indeed for the perfect organization of the ETPFGM’11. I am sure that Tel Aviv isgoing to remain in our memory as highly professional
meeting nicely embedded into beautiful atmosphereof the location that you have chosen.

Report on 12th International Symposium on Gas-Liquid Two-Phase Flows in AJK2011-FED
July 24-29, 2011, Hamamatsu, Japanby Michio Sadatomi
Turkey. Unfortunately, however, the author from
Brasil and Turkey could not attend. In addition, thescarcity of the paper from USA was surprisingly. In
the next 2015 ASME-JSME-KSME Joint Fluids
Engineering Conference, held in Korea, I hope morethan five papers will be submitted from the researchers in USA, and more than ten papers from theresearchers in other countries than Japan, Korea andUSA.
I am looking forward to seeing much more
researchers in the next conference.

ASME-JSME-KSME Joint Fluids Engineering
Conference 2011 was held in Hamamatsu, Japan, as
the first conference coorganised by the respective
Fluid Engineering Divisions of American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, Japan Society of MechanicalEngineers, and Korean Society of MechanicalEngineers. The conference took place at ACT CITY
Congress Center from July 24 to 29, 2011, sponsoredby Hamanatsu City. In the conference, there weretwenty six Symosia, six Forums and four TechnicalFlashs, and more than 600 reserachers and students
attended from all over the world. The 12th International Symposium on Gas-Liquid Two-Phase Flows
was one of the above Symosia.
In the Symposium on Gas-Liquid Two-Phase
Flows, Prof. Michio Sadatomi (Kumamoto University,
Japan), Prof. Dimitris E. Nikitopoulos (Louisiana
State University, USA), and Moo Hwan Kim (Pohang
University of Science and Technology, Korea) weredisignated as the lead organisers. These proffesors
together with Prof. Yoichiro Matsumoto (The University of Tokyo, Japan), Prof. Michel Lance (Ecole
Central de Lyon, France), Dr. Timothy J. O’Hern(Sandia National Laboratory, USA), Dr. Upendra
Rohatgi (Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA),and Prof. Gihun Son (Sogang University, Korea)
conducted several cooperative works as the organizers, such as review prosess and session programming,and so on.
The Symposium included five oral sessions of(S10-1) Atomization and jet with droplets, (S10-2)
Micro bubble, cavitation, nozzle flow, (S10-3) Bubble
formation and behavior, (S10-4) Nano-, mico- andmedium-sized channels, (S10-5) Modelling with andwithout heat transfer, and one poster session. Thesesessions were opened from Monday afternoon to
Tuesday evening. The total number of accepted paper
was 30, and the authors who present the paper wereseventeen from Japan, three from Korea, three from
China (inc. two from Taiwan), two from Norway,each one from USA, India, Canada, Brasil, andCooperation by Mr. Y. Nomura as a presenterand by Prof. Abe as a session chair(Courtesy of University of Tsukuba)Prof. Michio Sadatomi
