Report on "International Seminar on Multiphase Flow Phenomenaon the Occasion of Prof. A. Serizawa's Retirement"
September 30, 2006, Westin Miyako Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan
By Tomoaki Kunugi and Zensaku Kawara
On the occasion of Prof. Akimi Serizawa's retirement,
Prof. A. Serizawa told us that he would like to offer an
opportunity of being scientifically encouraged fromthe world famous and active researchers in multiphaseflow science and engineering fields to the young
researchers, students and of course the veterans.
According to Prof. A. Serizawa's suggestion, we
held an international seminar on multiphase flow
phenomena. We believed that the Japanese researchers
learned the state of the art and the prospective view ofthe multiphase flow phenomena, and also establishedsome new connection with the scientific leaders in themultiphase flow fields through this seminar.
The International Seminar on Multiphase Flow
Phenomena was held on September 30, 2006 at theWestin Miyako Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan. We invited six
leading scientists, and they gave the lectures regarding
the various multiphase flow phenomena, theexperimental methods, the numerical modeling andsome attractive "two-phase flow" arts. The attendee
was around 100 people including many younger
researchers and students. The seminar program was asfollows:

Report on the
6th ECI International Conference on Boiling Heat Transfer, ICBHT-6
May 7–12, 2006, Spoleto, Italy
by Gian Piero Celata
The 6th International Conference on Boiling Heat
Transfer, has been organized by the Institute of Thermal
Dynamics of ENEA on behalf of ECI, Engineering
Conferences International. Dr. Gian Piero Celata (ENEA,
Italy) has served as Conference Chair, with Prof. Paolo
Di Marco (University of Pisa, Italy), Prof. John R.
Thome (EPFL, Switzerland), Prof. James Klausner(University of Florida, USA), and Prof. Masanori
Monde (Saga University, Japan) as co-Chairs.
This Conference is following previous editions in
Santa Barbara, CA, USA (1992), Banff, Canada (1995),
Irsee, Germany (1997), Girdwood, Alaska, USA (2000),
and Montego Bay, Jamaica (2003), and has establisheda three-years basis run.
It is a specialist Conference, devoted to thedevelopment of pool boiling and forced convective
boiling, thus representing a significant reference for theinternational scientific community in this field.
A total of 138 abstracts have been received with anacceptance of 126. Eventually 93 full-length manuscripts
have been received and 77 have been presented in theoral format at the Conference. More than 85 delegates
attended the Conference, from more than 20 Countries,
12 from Asia, 12 from Americas (considering US, Brazil
and Canada), and the remaining from Europe, as
expected, with Germany top ranking with 12 delegates,-2-

As far as the technical contents of the Conference isconcerned, in addition to the traditional topics of boiling,such as bubbles, critical heat flux, enhancement of boilingheat transfer, falling film flow boiling, flow boiling, heatexchangers , mixtures, natural circulation, numericalmodeling, phase change, pool boiling, rewetting &quenching, spray-jet cooling, new emerging and frontiers
areas have been given a specific attention, such as boilingin microsystems and boiling in microgravity
environment.
The Conference had been organized in five days,
during which the 77 contributing papers have beenpresented in plenary session, besides the 7 keynote
lectures. In spite of the intense and tight technicalprogram, discussion has been extensive and animatedboth after each presentation and during the social timesuch as coffee-breaks, lunches and dinners. In order toprovide the longest time for discussion, social time has
been arranged in the conference site, the Cloister of San
Nicolò, kindly offered by the Spoleto commune.
Talking in terms of the scientific outcome it is maybe
worthwhile commenting the overall discussion related
to the emerging and frontiers topics. In particular, boilingin microsystems has evidenced how the geometricconfinement represents a scaling effect which cannot
be neglected. It is evident that when the bubble size iscomparable with the system geometry (such as thechannel diameter) bubble dynamics and motion will bestrongly affected by the geometric constraint. Therefore,
the whole knowledge pertaining to flow pattern, heattransfer, pressure drop, etc., is definitely bounded tobe revised with specific experiments and new predictive
tools, being the extrapolation of the conventional scale
know how expected to be inadequate for the microscaleprediction.
As far as microgravity boiling is concerned, wherebubble dynamics and motion is strongly affected by
the gravity level (though in forced convection the gravity
influence is also linked to the weight of inertial forces
with respect to buoyancy force), the main problem isthe scarce availability of homogeneous experimental
data. This is mainly due to the reduced opportunity of
low gravity testing (parabolic flights, drop towers,
sounding rockets, international space station) both forthe high costs associated with and for the continuous
reduction of research funds at the international level.
Notwithstanding, it is evident the need to go on
producing new homogeneous and integrated
experimental data, better if in cooperation withinternational teams to possibly get a better picture ofboiling behavior in microgravity.
The traditional sessions already described haveprovided a very good view of the current international
research on boiling, thus providing a very good reference
for the years to come.
The next, 7th International Conference on Boiling
Heat Transfer will be held in Spring 2008 in
Florianopolis, Brazil, and Prof. Julio Cesar Passos willbe the Conference Chair.

Overview of ITherm 2006
May 30–June 2, 2006, San Diego, CA, USA
by Bahgat G. Sammakia, Tien-Yu Tom Lee
The tenth Intersociety Conference on Thermal, andThermomechanical Phenomena and Emerging
Technologies in Electronic Systems, ITherm 2006 washeld in San Diego, California. ITherm 2006 is sponsoredby the Components, Packaging and Manufacturing
Technology (CPMT) Society of the Institute ofElectrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and cosponsored by the Heat Transfer Division K-16
Committee on Electronics Cooling, and the Electronics
and Photonics Packaging Division (EPPD) of theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
ITherm continues to attract outstanding papers inthe broad areas of thermal management, mechanics andmaterials, and emerging technologies in electronic
packaging. Out of 320 abstracts initially submitted, thepeer review system has yielded about 200 papers fororal and poster presentations. While ITherm continues
to be strong in the traditional areas of thermal
management and mechanical aspects of electronic
packages and systems, and continues to seek papers in
new and emerging areas with the inclusion of sessions
on nano-scale phenomena, MEMS, and 3D and green
packaging.
About 200 papers were presented at ITherm 2006
in sessions along three tracks: Thermal Phenomena (22Sessions), Mechanics sessions (9 sessions), Emerging
Technologies (8 sessions), and five panel discussions.
Among these 39 technical sessions, 27 are in Oral
Presentation sessions and 12 sessions are in Poster
Sessions. Emerging Technologies was a new addition
to ITherm 2002 and 2004 to address themultidisciplinary nature of today's electronic
components and systems. With this addition, ITherm
2006, while keeping its traditional roots in thermal
aspects of electronic systems, diversified into nonthermal areas and into the multidisciplinary aspects oftechnologies of the future.
The first day of ITherm 2006 covered sixteen shortcourses. The Technical Program started on the second
day of the conference with a keynote speech on"Nanoscale Electronics: Challenges and Opportunities",by Dr. Alain E. Kaloyeros, Vice President and Chief
Administrative Officer of the College of Nanoscale
Science and Engineering, The University at AlbanyState University of New York. The technical sessions
on this day covered a wide spectrum of interesting topics
in Thermal Phenomena, Mechanics, and Emerging
Technologies. Three panel discussions, "Computational
Challenges for Emerging Electronics", chaired by
Sandeep Tonapi and Bahgat Sammakia, "Passive CoolingTechnologies for Micro Electronics" chaired by Unni
Vadakkan, and "Challenges in Chip/Processor Level
Thermal Engineering", chaired by Mehdi Asheghi and
Dereje Agonafer will be held. During luncheon, theITherm 2006 Achievement Award was presented toProfessor Robert Moffat who delivered a keynote
lecture on "A Stay of Execution for Air-Cooling". The
second part of the afternoon sessions was dedicated tovendor exhibits (no technical sessions), which are
combined with ECTC.
The second day of the Technical Program beganwith a keynote talk by Dr. Cristina H. Amon, Professor
and Director of Institute for Complex Engineered
Systems, Carnegie Mellon University, on "HierarchicalModeling of Nano-scale Thermal Transport:
Applications to Microelectronics". The sessions on thisday covered a diverse range of topics in Thermal
Phenomena. The sessions on Mechanics and Emerging
Technologies continued, and two panel discussions,"Current Trends/Challenges in Data Center ThermalManagement" chaired by Don Beaty, and "Integration
Issues in 3D Packaging", chaired by Dereje Agonafer
and Bahgat Sammakia were held. A luncheon speech
titled "Performance Scaling in Microelectronic Devices
and the Resulting Challenges" was presented by Bob
Sankman, Intel Corporation. Poster sessions were in
the entire afternoon and the best poster paper awards
will be selected and given at that time.
The last day of the conference began with a keynote
address, "The Engineering of Small Scale Thermal
Systems: A National Science Foundation Research
Perspective", by Dr. Alfonso Ortega, National Science
Foundation. The rest of the day was devoted to sessions
from each of the three Tracks. During the lunch break
the best paper awards and recognition of the ITherm
Program Committee, took place. Recently elected
ASME, IEEE, IChemE Fellows and NAE members fromthe ITherm community were also recognized.
We were very fortunate to have internationallyrecognized experts serving on the ITherm 2006 Program
Committee. It is mainly due to the dedication, hard
work, and perseverance of the Chairs and Co-Chairs of
the sessions that an excellent program was put together
for ITherm 2006. We would also like to thank many ofour peers, who have generously given their time to review
the manuscripts and help improve the quality of thepapers included in the program. Acknowledgements
also go to our International Liaisons for their help in
promoting ITherm worldwide. We thank Ms. Patricia"Kelly" A. Sutton, for directing us through a maze of-4-

Meeting Report"The Second International Conference on
Transport Phenomena in Micro and Nanodevices"
June 11–15, 2006, Il Ciocco Hotel and Conference Center, Barga, Italy
by Mohamed Gad-el-Hak
Interest in micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems(MEMS and NEMS, respectively) has experienced
explosive growth during the past few years. Global
funding for nanotechnology R&D quintupled from$432 million in 1997 to $2.2 billion in 2002. In about
a decade, it is estimated that nanotechnology markets
will represent $340 billion per year in materials, $300
billion per year in electronics, and $180 billion peryear in pharmaceuticals.
The rapid progress in fabricating and utilizing
MEMS and NEMS has not been matched bycorresponding advances in our understanding of theunconventional physics involved. Providing such
understanding is crucial to designing, optimizing,
fabricating, utilizing and controlling improved minutedevices. Following the successful first meeting thatwas held in Kona Coast, Hawaii, 17–25 October 2004,
the "Second International Conference on Transport
Phenomena in Micro and Nanodevices" took place inBarga, Italy, 11–15 June 2006. Like the first workshop,
the second one in the series was planned with theprimary objective of improving our fundamental
understanding of the physics of transport phenomena
in micro- and nanodevices. Assisted by a 15-member
international organizing committee, Mohamed Gadel-Hak of Virginia Commonwealth University was thetechnical chair of the meeting.
The conference was held in the fabulous Il Ciocco
Hotel and Conference Center nearby the village ofBarga and the historical city Lucca, Italy. The meetingbrought together 71 researchers from 22 countries, allinterested in all aspects of transport phenomena in
MEMS and NEMS. That is the transport of mass,
momentum, energy and quantum particles in devices
with characteristic lengths as small as 1 micrometerand 1 nanometer, respectively. Potential applications
included micro- and nanosystems involving particulate
and other multiphase flows, mixing, combustion,energy conversion, computing, biochips, photonics,
etc. Also included were microfabrication involving
transport phenomena, such as spin coating, etching,
CVD, etc. Quantum dots and circuits, electronictransport through organic and inorganic materials,
molecular electronics, control of electronic
wavefunctions in molecules, quantum computations
and single-electron devices were also discussed.
The number of attendees was by design less than
100 to maintain a workshop atmosphere where future
research directions in the subject field are identified
for the benefit of the community in general. There
were no parallel sessions, but there were plenty ofopportunities for fruitful discussions. A unique aspectof this workshop was bringing together two
communities that hardly know much about each other,those of quantum transport and classical transport.
The meeting emphasized quantum transport tocomplement classical transport (such as mass,
momentum and energy flux in solids and fluids), all of-5-

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.27 (2006) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flowcourse as taking place in minute devices. Even inclassical transport, the continuum-based Navier–Stokes equations—with either the traditional no-slip
or slip-flow boundary conditions—work only for alimited range of Knudsen numbers above whichalternative models must be sought. These include
molecular dynamics (MD), hybrid methods, Burnett
equation, Boltzmann equation, Direct Simulation
Monte Carlo (DSMC), and other deterministic/
probabilistic molecular models. The two disparate
research communities of quantum and classicaltransports hardly know much about each other andthe subject conference was a very important step
rectifying this. Guided by an outstanding scientificcommittee, the meeting attracted first-rate researchers
from around the world. All speakers were invited thus
ensuring a meeting of the highest quality.
Sixty-one presentations were delivered during theconference, and a panel discussion was held at the end
to summarize the results and to decide on the future of
the subject matter. The primary results from thismeeting are included in a CD proceedings containing
50 papers and 3 presentations. Selected papers will be
published in a special issue of the journal Nanoscaleand Microscale Thermophyiscs Engineering, expectedaround August 2007.
The third meeting in the series is now planned forthe summer of 2008, and a likely venue is either of thetwo islands Mallorca, Spain, or Madeira, Portugal.

16th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties and THERMO International 2006
July 30–August 4, 2006, Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.
by W. M. "Mickey" Haynes
The 16th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties
was held in Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A. from July 30 toAugust 4, 2006. This conference was part of a majorinternational forum designated as THERMOInternational 2006, which also included the 19thInternational Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics(ICCT) and the 61st Calorimetry Conference (CalCon).
This is the first time that these three conferences havebeen held jointly at the same site and was scheduled asa one-time event. The technical program of THERMOInternational 2006 consisted of joint sessions as well as
independent sessions each of the individual conferences.
Because of the overlap among areas of interest ofthese individual conferences and because each of theconferences was slated for North America this year,
they were joined to create this unique event. THERMOInternational 2006 provided opportunities forresearchers and practitioners worldwide to meet anddiscuss a broad spectrum of scientific problems in thefields of thermodynamics and thermophysicalproperties for a wide variety of systems together withapplications in chemistry, biology, chemical engineering,mechanical engineering, physics, and other areas ofscience and engineering.
This event was organized and sponsored jointly by
the National Institute of Standards and Technology, theAmerican Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), theHeat Transfer Division Division of the American Societyof Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), andthe International Association of Chemical
Thermodynamics. There were approximately 1000
presentations on the program, representing 750
speakers from 54 countries and 2000 authors from 62
countries. The participation at the conference was
global, with about 75% of the approximately 700

attendees from outside the U.S. The featured work
impacts some of the larger themes and policy issues of
our time: energy efficiency/self-sufficiency, hydrogenbased economy and alternative fuels, global warming,ozone depletion, informatics, simulation, biophysics,
etc.
The Touloukian Award, a major honor within
ASME and the Symposium on Thermophysical
Properties for outstanding achievement inthermophysical properties research was presented to
Dr. Anneke Sengers of NIST. The Touloukian Award
was awarded "for advancing the theoreticalunderstanding of thermodynamics of pure fluids andmixtures near critical points, and for applying that
understanding to improve practical predictions andcorrelations of the thermodynamic properties forindustrial processes and electrical power cycles." Before
the award was presented, Nobel Laureate Prof. Carl
Wieman of the University of Colorado gave the
Touloukian Memorial Lecture, "A Scientific Approachto Teaching Science." The Rossini Award of ICCT waspresented to Prof. Alexandra Navrotsky from the
University of California at Davis, and the Huffman
Award of CalCon went to Prof. Earl Woolley of Brigham
Young University.
The keynote address for THERMO International
2006 entitled "Thermophysical Property

August 13–18, 2006, Sydney, Australia
http://ihtc-13.mech.unsw.edu.au/
ihtc13@unsw.edu.auby Graham de Vahl Davis
The Thirteenth International Heat Transfer Conference
was held in Sydney, Australia under the joint auspicesof the Australasian Fluids and Thermal Engineering
Society and Engineers Australia on behalf of theAssembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences(AIHTC). The International Heat Transfer Conference
series has existed for over 40 years, with conferences
being held every four years since 1962. IHTC-13 was
the first conference to take place in the southernhemisphere.
The goal of the conference was to provide a forum
for the exposure and exchange of ideas, methods andresults in heat and mass transfer. Papers on all aspects- both fundamental and applied - were presented. The
29 session topics are listed below.
Over 1200 abstracts were submitted. Not all
abstracts were accepted, and not all accepted abstracts
were turned into papers by their authors. After careful
reviewing by members of the International ScientificCommittee, who came from the 18 member countriesof the AIHTC, 657 contributed papers were acceptedand presented. As has been the custom in recent IHTCs,
these were all by poster presentation. Eight poster
sessions, each lasting two to three hours, were held
during the week, including an Open Forum for thepresentation of recent (unreviewed) work.
In addition to the contributed poster papers, there
were 33 invited lectures. These included: the Fourier
Lecture by the President of the Assembly, Professor
Jean-Marc Delhaye of France; the inaugural James P.
Hartnett Memorial Lecture by Professor D. Brian
Spalding of the UK; the Max Jacob Award Lecture byProfessor Ping Cheng of China; and the Donald Q.
Kern Award Lecture by Professor Sanjoy Bannerjeeof the United States. The remaining 29 keynote
speakers came from most of the Assembly member
countries.

Seven discussion panels were organised. In each,
three to five speakers made presentations;contributions were then invited from the floor. The
topics were DNS/LES; Heat Transfer Education;
Dynamic Control; Optimisation for Sustainability;
Nuclear Applications; Meshless Methods; Virtual
Reality and CFD.
IHTC-13 welcomed 836 delegates from 55
countries. The largest number – 133 – came fromJapan. Other countries sending large numbers ofdelegates included China (63), France (56), Germany(41), South Korea (58), UK (30) and USA (113). There
were 63 delegates from the host country, Australia. A
pleasing feature was the number of student delegates:
146, including 17 from Japan and 18 from Australia.
The conference was held in the beautiful harbourside city of Sydney in almost perfect weather: thetemperature ranged between a daily minimum of 9-13
ºC and a maximum of 20-25 ºC. There were clear blue
skies for all but about 30 minutes on the Tuesday,
when 16 mm of rain and hail fell – at a time whendelegates were (or should have been!) indoors listening
to a lecture.

10th International Congress on Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems (ICLASS-2006)
August 27–September 1, 2006, Kyoto, Japanby H. Gen Fujimoto
The 10th International conference on Liquid
Atomization and Spray Systems was held in Kyoto
Citizens Amenity (Kyoto Terrsa) from 27th August to
1st September 2006. The first ICLASS was open inTokyo in 1978 advocated by the late Dr. P. Eisenklaumof Imperial College. The succeeding locations of theconference were Madison (USA) in USA in 1982,
London in UK in 1985, Sendai in 1988, Gaithersburg in
USA in 1991, Rouen in France in 1994, Seoul in Korea
in 1997, Pasadena in USA in 2000 and Sorrento in Italy
2003. The 10th Conference was held in Japan after 19
years succeeding to Sendai. The number of participants
was 353. Second thirds were the foreigners. It is verymuch rare case in the international conference opened
in Japan.
The first day was only the registration and thewelcome reception where about a hundred attendees
gathered. At the second day, the opening ceremony washeld firstly, thereafter, all the sessions were started in
the five rooms. The main title of the sessions were"Fundamental Research of Atomization","Characteristics of Steady Spray and Unsteady Spray","Combustion of Steady Spray And Unsteady Spray","Measurement Technique of Atomization", "Soot
Formation through Reciprocating Engine" and so on.
The main presentations were as follows:
Key-Note Speech Three key-note speeches were
given.
1. Prof. G. Gouesbet (Rouen University)"Laser Scattering Theory and Practice: Beyond
Velocity and Size Measurement Techniques"
2. Prof. G. Reishl (Vienna University)"The Characteristics of Particulate Motor Viechle
Emission by Electrostatic Measurement Technique"
3. Emeritus Prof. H. Hiroyasu (Hiroshima University)"Professor Yasusi Tanasawa's Achievements, theInternational Conference on Liquid Atomization andSpray Systems, and the Tanasawa Award"
The late Prof. Y. Tanasawa was just the pioneerin the field of liquid atomization. However, almost
all the researchers do not always his works because
he had very few papers written by Japanese. Thus,

Prof. H. Hiroyasu introduced his works by English.
Invited Speech Only one invited speech was given.
Prof. N Chiegier (Carnegie Mellon University)"Challenges for Future Reseach in Atomization andSpray Technology"
General Presentation The number of the general
presentation was 227. From Asian countries the number
was 111 in which 68 was from Japan, from European
countries the number is 94 and the American countries
the number was 22. The number of sessions was 73.
Round Table Discussion The three kinds of roundtable discussion were held to discuss the hot issues
relating to the atomization field. The titles were "Ultra
Fine Spray", "New Spray Modeling" and "Global View
of Atomization and Spray Systems".
Tanasawa Award The Award is the memorial award
for the achievements of the late Prof. Y. Tanasawa. It is
given to just the best paper presented at the former
ICLASS. Prof. H. Hiroyasu gave the winner of the Awardat the Get-together Party.
Best Presentation Award The Award was set for the
first time in the history of ICLASS Conference. Twoyoung presenters received the Award. The winners will
be open in the official site (http://comb.doshisha.ac.jp//iclass2006/) near future.
Excursion The excursion was hold at the last day.
The contents were the visit Horiba which is the vary
famous maker of the instruments of the analyzer of
exhaust gas emission through a reciprocating engine andthe visit Byudouin.
Exhibition 11 companies collaborated to exhibit theirnewest instruments and 7 companies to do theircatalogue. The exhibition was very much useful for all
the participants.
Partners' Program The program was planned for thepartners of attendees during the conference to introduce
the traditional culture in Kyoto such as the tea ceremony,
the no-play and the flower arrangement. About 20
persons attended the program.
Students Community It is very much important foryounger researchers to exchange their opinion relating
to researches and the others. The organizing committee
supported their community for the first time in thehistory of ICLASS. About 30 students joined thecommunity.
Lastly I would like to express my sincere thanks to
many persons who collaborates the great success of
ICLASS 2006 in Kyoto.
