May 8-12, 2022, Online.
by Yuichi MURAI
Japan-U.S. Seminar on Two-phase Flow Dynamics 2022 (JP-US STPFD) was held during May 8-11 in
U.S. or May 9-12 in Japan, 2022, upon online. Theseminar was chaired by Prof. Steven Ceccio (University of Michigan), co-chaired by Prof. Yuichi Murai(Hokkaido University), program-chaired by Prof.
Xiaodong Sun (University of Michigan), program-cochaired by Prof. Shuichiro Miwa (The University ofTokyo), and honorary chaired by Prof. Mamoru Ishii(Purdue University). The seminar was organized byCollege of Engineering, University of Michigan, coorganized by The Japanese Society of Multiphase Flow,and sponsored by LaVision, Inc., and Department of
Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences, College of Engineering, University of Michigan.
This collateral seminar is 12th edition since 1979,
the year of nuclear power accident happened in Three-Fig. 1 Snapshot of online seminar (max 58 people)
Mile Island. With this origin, the series of seminar has
been dealing with two-phase flow problems mainly fornuclear reactor safety. Our seminar also contributed tothe problem-solving for Fukushima Daiichi accidents
happened in 2011. In the last decade, necessity of investigation for gas-liquid interfacial dynamics expanded in seeking solutions also for environmental
problems. Calling experts working in these areas from

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.57 (2022) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flowboth countries, the present seminar was programed todiscuss future perspectives of research from thermofluid physics of two-phase flow to engineering designsof various practical devices. We had the following
technical sessions in the present seminar; bubble motion, drag and flow mixing, two-phase experiments,cavitation and its application, drag reduction, advanced instrumentation and measurement techniques,
CHF and boiling heat transfer, and two-phase flow inrod bundle.
The seminar had 19 presentations from Japan and23 from U.S. with the plenary lecture by Prof. Mamoru
Ishii (Purdue University) and three keynotes by Prof.
Yuka Iga (Tohoku University), Dr. J.R. Buchanan, Jr.
(Naval Nuclear Laboratory), and Prof. Tomio Okawa(The University of Electro Communications). Ongoing nationwide research program in U.S. and Japanwere presented by Prof. Gretar Tryggvason (JohnsHopkins University) and Prof. Yuichi Murai (Hokkaido University), respectively. All the presentations
were held in a single room on Zoom (Fig. 1). Furthermore, all the online participants enjoyed virtual laboratory tour (Fig. 2) visiting virtually to ten laboratories;
Hokkaido University, Purdue University, Kobe University, University of Michigan, Kumamoto University,
North Carolina State University, Shizuoka University,

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Muroran institute of Technology. During the seminar, we had 58
people participation into the online seminar room intotal connected from both countries.

The next Japan-U.S. Seminar will be held in Tokyo in 2025, chaired by Prof. Shuichiro Miwa (TheUniversity of Tokyo). I look forward to seeing manyof you there.
