The Ninth Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics Report
May 27 to 31, 2002, Isfahan, IRAN
by Ebrahim Shirani
The Ninth Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics was heldon May 27 to 31, 2002, in Isfahan, Iran. The Congress
was supervised by the Asian Committee of Fluid Mechanics, which was first formed in 1980 with the objective of organizing the Fluid Mechanics Congresses
in Asian countries and to enhance the intensity of fluid
mechanics research and promote contacts among thefluid dynamists. The members of the Asian Congressof Fluid Mechanics are the well-known scientists from
Asian Countries as well as Australia. The Congress isheld in one of the Asian countries every three years andmore recently, every other year. But it is not restricted
to the Asian countries. The congress is indeed international in character and scientists form all five continents actively participate in this scientific occasion. The
previous eight congresses took place in Banglore, India, in 1980, Beijing, China, in 1983, Tokyo, Japan, in
1986, Hong Kong, in 1989, Taejon, Korea, in 1992,
Singapore, in 1995, Madras, India, in 1997, andShenzhen, China, in Dec.1999.
The Ninth Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics coincided the Seventh Iranian Conference of Fluid Dynamics (7ICFD). The ICFD’s have been organized andheld in Iran every two years since 1990.

The Ninth Congress received 237 papers fromwhich 177 were accepted based on review of every paper
by at least three referees. The accepted papers are contributed by scientists from 13 different countries andwere presented orally in this Congress. The delegatespresented the papers in this congress were from Australia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, China, England, Hong
Kong, India, Iran, Japan, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka
and USA. The total number of participants in the congress was about 250 persons. The papers were organized into five Plenary lectures, twelve Special lectures,and 39 technical lectures. The special and technical lectures were presented in three parallel sessions.
Time for presenting plenary lectures were 45 minutes, special lectures were 30 minutes, and technicalpapers were 20 minutes each.
The papers covered a broad range of subjects in
fluid mechanics and were classified in 18 different topics. They were instability and transition, computational
fluid dynamics, experimental fluid dynamics and flow
measurements, aerodynamics, geophysical fluid dynamics, boundary layers, hydrodynamics and hydraulics,
combustion and reacting flows, flow control, heat andmass transfer, turbulence modeling, fluid machinery,

Post Conference Report
BEM 24: 24th World Conference on Boundary Element Methods incorporating Meshless Solutions
Seminarby Rachel GreenThe 24th International Conference on Boundary Element Methods took place recently in Sintra, Portugal,organised by the University of Coimbra and the Wessex
Institute of Technology.
The Conference Co-Chairmen were Prof Antonio
Tadeu from the University of Coimbra; Prof Carlos
Brebbia, Director of Wessex Institute of Technology,
UK and Dr Viktor Popov, Head of the Environmental
Modelling and Fluid Mechanics Division at Wessex
Institute of Technology.
Prof Brebbia opened the conference by welcoming
the delegates and pointing out the importance of BEM
research carried out at the University of Coimbra. He
said, “Portugal is one of the countries where the technique was accepted at an early stage and it is fittingthat a highlight of BEM 24 is a special session organised
by Antonio on the state of BEM Research in Portugal.”
The BEM Series of conferences has always reflected
the most recent advances in the technique. BEM 24
continued with the tradition by concentrating on developments that are nowadays, attracting the attentionof the community, in particular, dual reciprocity, someadvanced formulations and meshless methods. Other
conference papers covered a wide range of applications,many dealing with the solutions of complex problems,
which would have been impossible to solve using
boundary elements a few years ago.
Prof Brebbia highlighted that “the maturity achieved
by boundary elements in the last few years has resulted
in their application for the solution of many real engineering problems.
The conference also celebrated a quarter of a century since the first paper on Boundary Element methods appeared, written by Brebbia C.A. and Dominguez
J., “Boundary Element
Methods for Potential Problems”, Applied Mathematical Modelling Journal, Vol. 1, No. 7, 1977.
Prof Brebbia spoke of how rewarding it was to see“the seminal importance that this series of conferences
has had in the development of the method. It has led tothe publication of more than 40 volumes of Proceedings, which are often referred to as the original source
for most developments that have taken place since 1978
when the first volume was published. The BEM 24
volume will also add to our understanding of the BEM

and, like the others, will be a source of new ideas andapplications.”
The conference included a particularly interesting
session dealing with meshless methods, organised byProfessor C.S. Chen from the University of Nevada,
Las Vegas. While not all meshless methods are basedon boundary integral equations, a large number of them
use radial basis function techniques, originally developed for dual reciprocity.
“Meshless methods”, said Prof Brebbia, “are a logical extension of the concept of reducing the mesh which
originated boundary elements. There is now the needfor a better understanding of the relationship between
boundary solutions in general, including BEM andmeshless methods. Their common ground is that they
are all mesh reduction techniques, which should perhaps be the future name for all of them.”
The success of BEM 24 is apparent from the substantial number of papers and invited contributions thatwere presented. The full conference report is available
at: www.wessex.ac.uk/conferences/2002/be02.
Papers are now being encouraged for presentation
at BEM 25, which is taking place in Split, Croatia from8 – 10 September 2003. Initial enquiries can be madeby contacting the Conference Secretariat, Rachel Greenat Wessex Institute of Technology, telephone: 44 (0)238 029 3223. Email: rgreen@wessex.ac.uk

Repot of The Twelfth International Heat Transfer Conference
August 18-23, Grenoble, FRANCE
by Yutaka Abe
The Twelfth International Heat Transfer Conference washeld in Grenoble, France during August 18 – 23, 2002.
The International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC)
has a long history. It had its origins in the Conferences
held in London and Atlantic City in 1951 and in Boulder and London in 1961-1962. The sites of the following IHTC were, at four-yearly intervals, Chicago,
Versailles, Tokyo, Toronto, Munich, San Francisco,
Jerusalem, Brighton, and finally Kyung Ju in 1998. The
Twelfth Conference being held in Grenoble in 2002 is
the first one to be held in France for over thirty years.
The next Conference is scheduled in Sydney in 2006.
In the Twelfth IHTC, 32 keynote lectures and the513 posters were presented. A variety of keynote lectures were provided every day for one hour each. All
general presentations are made by poster presentation
for four hours in the day for the presentation after one
minutes short presentation. The keynote lectures andthe general papers are included in the official CD-ROM
published by Editions scientifiques et Medicales
Elsevier SAS, under the ISBN 2-84299-307-1 and isalso be published by Editions scientifiques et Medicales
Elsevier SAS in the four volumes of the Proceedings.
The general papers are classified in five sections:
1. Transfer Modes under Local Thermal NonEquilibrium (Non LTE)
2. Single Phase Heat Transfer
3. Two-Phase Heat Transfer
4. Heat transfer in Nonhomogeneous Media
5. Heat transfer in Engineering Systems
Each section is divided into subsections. In Transfer Modes under Non-LTE appears an emerging topicsof the Conference, which deals with Transfer Modes at
Ultra Short Scales in Time or in Space. Radiation, generally characterized by a non-LTE field, has been also
entered in this section. The Section Single Phase Heat
Transfer mainly deals with all types of convection problems from specific experiments to direct numericalsimulations or non-conventional fluid flows. The Section Two-Phase Heat Transfer is more precisely devoted

to scientific approaches of liquid-vapor systems generally with boiling or condensation, even at the bubble ordrop scales or at a larger scale. The Section Heat transfer in Non-homogeneous Media gathers works on melting, solidification or freezing and also on porous media and on media characterized by a non-homogeneouscomposition. The last section Heat transfer in Engineering Systems gives a rather good idea of the relative
importance of the considerable number of applications
treated by the Heat Transfer Community worldwide
