Ottobre 15-20, 2000, Banff, Alberta, Canada
by Gian Piero Celata
The United Engineering Foundation Conference on
Heat Transfer and Transport Phenomena in
Microsystems has been held in Banff, Alberta, Canada,
during 15-20 October 2000.
The Conference, focused on heat trasnfer and transport phenomena in microchannels and microstructures
has been very well attended (more than 80 participants)
with an even distribution of attendees among North
America (32 people from the US and 1 from Canada),
Europe (26 people, 10 from Germany, 8 from France,
3 from Sweden, 2 from UK and Italy, and 1 from Romania), and Asia (25 people, 13 from Japan, 6 from
China, 3 from South Korea, 2 from Taiwan, and 1 from
Hong Kong). Participation from industry has been limited but qualified (15 people, mainly, but not only, fromthe US).
A total of 55 papers have been presented orally inplenary sessions, besides 7 keynote lectures, deliveredby distinguished scientists, dealing with the following
topics: single-phase heat transfer, heat & fluid flow,heat transfer applications, pressure drop, industrial applications and MEMS, boiling phenomena, thermalradiation, material and thermophysical properties, molecular dynamics
Details about the program can be found in internet
at the web page of the United Engineering Foundation(www.engfnd.org)
The objective of the Conference was to update thestate-of-the-art in heat transfer and transport phenomena with reference to extreme conditions, microscaleand nanoscale, both from the geometrical (size below
1 mm) and the time scale (extremely fast phenomena).
Apart from contributing papers, the state-of-the-art isprovided by the 7 excellent lectures delivered by Prof.
A. Majumdar (Recent Developments in Microscale
Temperature Measurement Techniques), Dr. J. Brandner(Microstructure Devices for Applications in Thermaland Chemical Process Engineering), Prof. B. Palm
(Heat Transfer in Microchannels), Prof. F. Volklein(Thin Film Thermal Conductivity, Measurement,
Phonon Modeling, and Microdevice), Prof. G. Chen
(Nonequilibrium Phonon and Electron Transport in
Heterostructures and Superlattices), Prof. Z.Y. Guo(Size effetc on Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics
in MEMS), and Prof. S. Nishio (Attempts to Apply
Micro Heat Transfer to Thermal Management). A Round
Table on Micro/Nano-Scale Thermophysical Engineering outlined the main features of these two scale levelsof analysis and study.
Current studies reveal that heat transfer and transport mechanisms in micro-geometry and extremely
short time-scale may be sensibly different from thosobserved in 'conventional' size and time scale.
Conclusions which can be drawn from the Conference depends on the research approach. The theoretical approach is definitely advanced, especially withmolecular dynamics modelling, mostly popular andused in Japan. It allows detailed analysis of thermal
phenomena and processes which are extremely fast(nanoseconds) or concentrated in microscopic geometries (thermal analysis of the microstructure)
The experimental approach, especially the fundamental research devoted to heat transfer and fluid flowin microchannels, would seem rather 'pioneeristic', often evidencing the lacking of adequatetools and welldefined experimental procedures. Among the participants there was a common and general feeling (andagreement) that is necessary to define shortly accurate
methodologies for the measurements and test procedures, in order to better make the results comparable,
as they are very often contradictory. Also the availability of microsensors and adequate measurement techniques is essential for the correct development of thebasic research. Maybe, a change in the mentality of thereseacher, used to deal with macroscopic problems, may
be useful to get better quality results.
Talking in terms of technological development, in
terms of capability to produce microcomponents (micro-heat exchangers, etc.) it is to be said that the current status is satisfactory. This is probably due to dragoffered by the electronic industry, where miniaturisation
always played an important role on the developmentsin this field.
The Banff Conference has represented an important event in this field, offering relevant time for the
discussion (during and, especially, after the presentation), which is the most typical feature of the United
Engineering Foundation Conferences; very specialistic and residential events.
At the end of the Conference, participants expressed
their intention to have a second Conference on the same
topic in two years, i.e., in the year 2003.

Report on MFTP-2000
International Symposium on Multiphase Flow and Transport Phenomena
November 5-10, 2000, Antalya, Turkey
by David Moalem MaronThe recent (second) conference “MFTP-2000” covered the area of two-phase flow and transport phenomena.
The first conference took place on 3-7 November
1997 and focused almost entirely on issues relating toliquid-liquid systems that were aimed at initiating specific views of liquid-liquid systems.
Some of the participants from the first conference
recommended including in the second conference someof the following aspects: the relation between academic
and industrial studies; the inclusion of microscale modeling in multiphase systems, taking into consideration
the interactions between turbulent eddies of continuous phase and the dispersed phase. Also, some participants were in agreement that the second conference
should contain more areas on sprays, droplets, which
are of paramount importance to many industrial applications.
Indeed, the second conference includes wide aspects of multiphase systems - gas-solid, liquid-liquidand solid-liquid systems, with special focus on liquidliquid. Also, some aspects were added on gas-liquidbeyond the classic subjects of flow characterization,
flow patterns, stability of transition in multiphase systems. Some attention was given to transport phenomena in gas-liquid systems and liquid-liquid systems. We
received contributions on pollution control technology

and other multiphase contacting equivalent and application of equipment.
The conference held 14 sessions with 48 presented
abstracts and 20 poster presentations. The 7 keynote
lectures were presented on a wide variety of topics byleading scientists in their fields from all over the world.
In all, participants from over 20 countries attended theconference.
In my opinion, the outcome of a successful conference is not only the framing of a good program but
also the contribution of the participants. Their involvement made the conference a fruitful and interesting one.
I wish to thank everyone – in particular, the Leading Scientists, the Organizing Committee (Prof.
Brauner, Prof. Garti, Prof. Gutfinger, Prof. Hetsroni andProf. Marmur). Special thanks are given to Prof.
Brauner and Prof. Gutfinger who worked with me
intensively in preparing the program. Also, to my secretary, Mrs. Barad.
Last, but not least, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Prof. Faruk Arinc and his colleagues
for their cooperation in making the conference such a
success.

Report on the 4th EUROMECH Fluid Mechanics Conference
November 19-23, 2000, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlandsby GertJan F. van Heijst
The 4 th EUROMECH Fluid Mechanics Conference(EFMC-4) was held at Eindhoven University ofTechnology, 19-23 November 2000. This meetingbrought together more than 300 fluid dynamics experts
from 31 different countries – mostly European, but also
from outside Europe (USA, Asia, Australia).
At the opening of EFMC-4 a few memorial addresses in honour of the former EUROMECH Presidents Prof. George K. Batchelor and Prof. David G.
Crighton were presented by Prof. Hans Fernholz (President of EUROMECH) and Profs Keith Moffatt and Tim
Pedley.
A total of eleven Invited Lectures were given inplenary sessions, and more than 200 contributed lectures were delivered in six parallel sessions. Topics
according to which these sessions were arranged were:• Turbulence• Boundary layers• Stability• Waves• Bubbles, drops and particles• Multiphase flows• Rotating flows and vortex dynamics• Buoyancy-driven flows• Simulation & numerical methods• Mixing & dispersion.
Besides, the programme included three Mini-Symposiaon• Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics• Biological fluid mechanics• Environmental fluid mechanics,
each of which was organised in the form of a numberof parallel sessions.
In addition, more than 100 posters were presented
during the poster exhibition.
The aim of the EFMC – to provide a platform fordiscussion and exchange of expertise and experience
between fluid dynamicists – has been reached convincingly. Generally, the quality of the oral poster presentations was high, probably also due to the strict selection of the papers submitted for presentation.
More than 96 participants (> 35%) were younger
than 33 years (i.e. born in 1968 or later). These young
scientists were in principle candidates for the two
EUROMECH Prizes for the best Lecture and the best
Poster: winners were Mr. Nicola Parolini (Politecnico
di Milano, Italy) with his lecture on “First Hopf bifurcation in the singular driven cavity flow” and Mrs.
Astrid Manders (Netherlands Institute for Sea Research)with her poster on “Spatial behaviour of inertial waves
in a rectangular basin with a sloping boundary”. The
winners received an official Prize Certificate and an
envelope containing 500 Euro.
In addition to providing a scientific setting, EFMC4 also provided a relaxed social ambience, including abus trip to Antwerp (B) and the conference dinner in
Oud-Turnhout (B).
The follow-up meeting – EFMC-5 – will be held in
Toulouse (Fr) in 2003.

POST CONFERENCE REPORTBETECH 2001
14th International Conference on Boundary Element Technology
March 12 - 14, 2001, Orlando, Florida, USA
by Karen Neal
BETECH 2001 was the 14th International Conferencein the series on Boundary Element Technology; taking
place from 12 - 14 March 2001 at the University ofCentral Florida (UCF), USA. The meeting was coorganised by this Institution and the Wessex Instituteof Technology (WIT), UK, and sponsored by the International Journal of Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements (EABE), the International Society ofBoundary Element Methods (ISBE) and the Wessex
Institute Foundation.
The BETECH conference series provides an established platform for the exchange of ideas between
Boundary element researchers, research code developers and Industrial users to discuss novel advances in
the Boundary Element Method (BEM).
CONFERENCE OPENING
Professor Brebbia opened the meeting, welcoming
the delegates to BETECH 2001. He pointed out thatthe conference had been arranged this year in the USA

to provide a forum for those colleagues who could notparticipate in the 23rd International Conference on
Boundary Element Methods, which is being held in
Greece later this year.
He went onto speak about the vitality of BEM research, how BETECH 2001 attracted a number of wellknown researchers as well as younger participants, andthrough this unique combination how BEM researchcontinued to prosper.
He said: “BEM has now come of age as the technique is well established and highly respected by thecomputational mechanics community. This development is in great part due to the pioneering efforts of the
BEM Conference Series first started in 1978 and the
BETECH Seminars, which commenced in 1985. The
career of Alain Kassab himself demonstrates, in myopinion, the vitality of BEM research. I first met Alain
when he joined the Faculty of UCF as a Junior Professor, he is now not only a Full Professor, but also a world
recognised authority in BEM.”-9-ICeM NEWSLETTER No.16 (2001) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flow

Professor Brebbia stressed that there were many
pioneers and BEM scientists at the BETECH meeting
but he was only able to mention the achievements of a
few in the time available. In particular he highlighted
the work of those giving keynote addresses saying:“First and foremost, our friend and colleague Alex
Cheng to whom I will refer in more detail when introducing his lecture. The diversity and originality of his
output makes him one of the foremost BEM researchers in the world.
The other keynote speaker, Derek Ingham, who has
contributed so much to our better understanding of how
to apply BEM to fluid dynamics and general field problems. Richard Bialecki from the University of Gliwice,
the third keynote speaker. He is now visiting UCF and
has in the past visited many other institutions, including WIT when he started his original work on heat transfer, particularly in radiation problems. Henry Powerhimself, co-organiser of this meeting and, until recently,
a WIT staff member, where he worked for nearly 10
years. He has now been appointed to a Professorial chairin the well known University of Nottingham. This iswell-deserved recognition of his work on fluid dynamics using BEM.”
Following this Professor Brebbia said, “I would also
like to mention another occasion for rejoicing. Thisconference sees the launching of a long expected bookby our friend and colleague, Giora Rosenhouse of theTechnion. The topic of the book is “Active Noise Control” and although not essentially a BEM book, it is an
important contribution, which can open new areas ofresearch for our community. Acoustics is one of themost interesting and successful areas of application for
BEM. Giora’s book follows the recent launching in
Cambridge (BEM 22) of two other volumes written by
Tim Wu and Otto von Estorf, both on BEM for Acoustics.
The above mentioned activities are only a few ofmany, which demonstrate the importance of these conferences as a focus for the exchange of ideas and thepromotion of new initiatives. All these books, as wellas many projects and other activities have originatedthrough personal contacts, which took place at the BEM
meetings.
A time may come when meetings on BEM may not
be needed, in the same way, as there is little need ofgeneral FEM conferences nowadays. I think that thiswill be a very welcome development as having no needof more battles, will mean that we have won the war!!”
Professor Brebbia then proceeded to introduce Alex
Cheng, the main keynote speaker at the meeting. He
recalled, “I became aware of Alex’s work through his
implementation of the application of statistical methods using boundary integral equations.” This was a topic

that they discussed when meeting for the first time at aconference in Vermont in 1984. “Since then” he said,“we have continued to be in constant contact, collaborating through a series of initiatives, including theorganisation of several major international conference,book series projects; working together as Co-Editors
of EABE and in many other ways.”
Professor Brebbia continued, praising the high quality work Alex produced and his considerable output interms of papers in learned Journals, chapters in books,
editor of different state of the art volumes and more
recently, author of a well received monograph.
Following the keynote address from Professor
Cheng on a topic, which he has carried out much pioneering work. Professor Brebbia thanked Professor
Cheng for his clear exposition and his support of BEM.
He then proceeded to present the “Eminent Scientist
Award” medal to Alex Cheng for his contribution to
the development of the method. The medal is only
awarded to scientists of the highest reputation and integrity.
