Report on Boiling Heat Transfer And Boiling Equipment,a five day short course held in Pisa, Italy on October 8–12, 2007
by Paolo Di Marco
Boiling is an essential basic operation in thermal sciences.
It is the most effective heat transfer method because of
its high performance due to latent heat transport, thus
allowing to reduce size, weight and volume of heatexchange devices and improve the thermal performanceof components for the process industry and power
plants. Therefore, boiling heat transfer plays a very
important role for a wide number of applications inmany technological and industrial areas, including energy
production. As an example, subcooled boiling heattransfer can accommodate very high heat fluxes, andthis can be suitably employed in the cooling of somecomponents for fusion reactors, where it is required toremove up to 10-15 MW/m 2 . Furthermore, very
compact heat exchangers can be manufactured thanks
to the high heat transfer rate obtained with boiling heattransfer. Steam generators can be better designed if theboiling process is known in details, thus improving thethermal cycle and the plant efficiency.
The objective of this course was to provide theparticipants with today's detailed knowledge on theboiling heat transport mechanisms based on recent
research results and the most updated methods for theprediction of boiling heat transfer, its enhancement, andits applications to technological and industrial areas.
Application to compact heat exchangers was dealt withspecial care, in view of the industrial interest towards
this component, and the very recent application ofboiling heat transfer to microscale, including
microstructured surfaces, which allow very high heattransfer rates for specific applications, were treated ingreat detail.
The course has been hosted Heat Transfer ResearchInc., a well-known industrial research and development

consortium founded in 1962, with over 700 member
companies from around the world and extensive
experience in training (www.htri.net). It was addressedto scientists, professionals, engineers and graduate
students in the several fields of Engineering, Appliedand Fundamental Sciences with specific interest in
phenomena involving boiling (process industry,
refrigeration industry, energy production, heat exchanger
manufacturers, etc.) who want to get acquainted withthe traditional background and the most recent
developments of this discipline.
This course has been held annually since 2005 witha large participation, and will be repeated again in
Lausanne, Switzerland, on 6-10 October 2008 (forinformation contact the next course coordinator, Prof.

25th Zurich Short Courses on Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows
February 11–15, 2008, Zurich, Switzerlandby George Yadigaroglu
The Zurich Short Courses on Multiphase Flows havecelebrated this year their 25th edition, hosted as usual
by ETH Zurich. A record number of participants
attended this year, mainly from Europe but in increasing
numbers also from America (US and Canada), Northand South Africa, and Asia (Korea and Japan). Although
the majority of the participants came from nuclear
industries or institutions, there was a wide spectrum ofparticipation from areas as diverse as food processing,bio-medical engineering, the automobile industry, spacetechnology, information technology, building
construction, etc., a testimony to the fact thatmultiphase flows find applications in many industries.
The courses were again offered – at the rate of four
90-minute lectures per day – the first three days as acommon module, Part I, followed by two parallel
modules (Parts IIA and IIB). Finally all the participants
assembled again for Part III.
Given its success in previous years, an introductory"tutorial" text (expanded and completed this year) was
emailed to the participants a few weeks before thebeginning of the course to familiarize them with thebasic material, definitions and nomenclature and bringthem to a common basic level, so that they could moreeasily and effectively follow the course.
Part I, Bases covered the common backgroundmaterial and emphasised the latest mechanistic
understanding, modelling and computational aspects ofmultiphase flows. This part was redesigned again thisyear in a continuing effort to optimize the course. Part
IIA, New Reactor Systems and Methods, covered themultiphase phenomena in LWRs, as well as advanced
computational modelling of these systems. The latest

developments in modelling and simulation methods forcore design and accident analysis were presented. The
most recently proposed advanced reactor systemdesigns, including the near-deployment passive LWR
systems and those in Generation IV were also briefly
reviewed in relation to multiphase flow phenomena
taking place in these systems.
Part IIB, the module on Computational Multi-Fluid
Dynamics (CMFD) was followed by a (majority) ofparticipants who are interested in the application of
CFD techniques to multi-phase flows. This part of thecourse was also redesigned this year with the return ofProf. G. Tryggvason and featured also a new
introductory overview lecture by Dr. D. Lakehal. The
module covered the main interface tracking methods, aswell as other approaches like Lattice Gas Cellular
Automata. Numerous examples of applications were
given.
Finally in the last common module, CMFD with
Commercial Codes, the participants had theopportunity to learn, directly from the main commercial
code developers, about the multiphase capabilities of
their codes, which is constantly improving, as the varietyof challenging applications that were tackled worldwide
shows.
The participants particularly like the numerous
movies, videos, animations, and computer simulations,some classical, some produced very recently, that are
shown during the lectures.
The lecturers in this series of carefully organized
and coordinated modules are experts in their respective
fields, but are selected also for their pedagogical qualities.
This year they included: S. Banerjee, D. Bestion, M.L.

Considerations for Fan Selection" by Herman Chu of
Cisco Systems as well as two very well received
luncheon presentations: "The History of Liquid-Coolingat IBM" by Bob Simons of IBM and "Technology andDiscovery on the Ocean Frontier" by Dr. James
Bellingham of the Monterey Bay Aquarium ResearchInstitute.
Two industry awards were presented during SEMITHERM 24. The Significant Contributor "THERMI"
Award was presented to Prof. Dereje Agonafer of the
University of Texas at Arlington and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology for his extensive contributions
to the field of electronics cooling and packaging. As

International Conference on Multiphase Flow (ICMF 2007)
July 9–13, 2007, Leipzig, Germany
by Akiko Fujiwara
In July 9th to 13th, 2007, International Conference on
Multiphase Flow (ICMF) was held in Leipzig,
Germany. It was one of the large international
conferences including more than 500s of oralpresentation and 100s of posters. Author also attended
in a poster session.
In oral sessions, there were many presentations
about bubble behavior and bubble-bubble interaction.
Investigation about bubbles is chief object of interest inthese days. Especially, many studies of spiral or
zigzagging motion of deformed bubbles and the wakestructure of them were presented. Visualization
measurement of wake structure with fluorescent dye
and PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) measurement withhigh accuracy were introduced as experimental studies.
As numerical studies, the wake structure behind single
bubble and wake interaction induced by bubbles wereintroduced. There were lively discussions supported
by accurate experiment and sophisticated simulation.
There was session about microfluidics which author
investigates for a whole day. Most studies are proposed
about multiphase flow structure in adiabatic system.
They were reported about the potential to reproductionof the multiphase flow regime in micro scale
experimentally. And also the effect of wettability in a
microchannel was reported.
Prof. Yoichiro Matsumoto made a presentation as aplenary talk. The title of his talk was "Medical
application of micro-bubbles". He discussed thepotential of microbubbles for medical application as
contrast agent for diagnostics and treatment by using

the physical competence of microbubbles. In thepresent conference, there were several presentations
about medical application of multiphase flow. Most
interest topics were about flow in trachea and nasal
cavity in this session. The behavior of particles as dust
or medicine in trachea was investigated in both
simulation and experiment point of view.
The present conference is excellent in terms ofgathering of updated and high quality topics ofmultiphase flow. And also many renowned researchers
are gathered. It is favorable opportunity for young
researchers to join and discuss with them.
