Second International Conference on Porous Media and its Applicationsin Science, Engineering and Industry
June 17–21, 2007, Kauai, Hawaii
by Kambiz Vafai
A very successful Conference on Porous Media andits Applications in Science, Engineering andIndustry was held from June 17 to 21 of 2007 in Kauai,
Hawaii, which was attended by various researchers inporous media worldwide. There were 80 participantsfrom 21 countries. The first of these conferences, which
was also very successful, was held in Kona, Hawaii in
1996. NSF and ECI sponsored this conference. There
were three keynote addresses and presentations bothoral and poster presentations in the conference. Thirteen
topical areas were covered in the conference. Thesewere: Flow Transport in Industrial Applications
 Advances in Numerical Techniques
 Experimental and Measuring Techniques Bio Transport in Porous Medium
 Advanced Mathematical Approaches to theModeling of Porous Medium Particle Migration and Deposition in PorousMedia Industrial and Environmental Heat Transfer
and Flow in Porous Media Porous Media Applied to Marine andEnvironmental Problems
 Natural and Forced Convection in Porous
Medium Conduction in Porous Medium
 Thermo-Hydro-Chemo-Mechanical Couplingin Geomaterials
 Evaporation, Condensation, Capillary Effect,
and Reactive Flow in Porous Media Multiphase Transport in Porous Mediago back to the beginning of this century. In recent decades
transport through porous media has gained considerable
attention due to its relevance in a wide range ofapplications such as thermal insulation engineering,water movements in geothermal reservoirs, heat pipe
applications, underground spreading of chemical waste,
geothermal engineering, electronic cooling, biologicalapplications, fuel cell applications, chemical catalytic
reactors, packed cryogenic microsphere insulation,
direct contact heat exchangers, coal combustors, grain
storage, nuclear waste repository and enhanced recoveryof petroleum reservoirs. Radiative heat transfer andmultiphase transport processes in porous media, bothwith and without phase change, have gained extensive
attention in recent decades. This is due to the wide
range of applicability of these research areas incontemporary technology. Furthermore, developments
in modeling transport phenomena in porous media haveadvanced in several pertinent areas, such as biology.
There was substantial participation of many attendees
during each and every presentation. This provided an
informative and highly interactive environment for all
the participants in the conference. The surveys takenfrom the attendees as well as the additional unsolicitedcomments and emails pointed to an extremely wellreceived conference by the participants. There was astrong demand for repeating this conference in coupleof years. Tentatively, the next location for thisconference is considered to be in Europe. For additional

Report on "Fundamentals of Microscale Heat Transfer:
Boiling, Condensation, Single- and Two-Phase Flows",
an International Short Course in Lausanne on June 4–8, 2007
by John R. Thome
Today there is a significant interest in research andemerging applications involving microscale single-phaseand two-phase heat transfer and flow. Our 4-day course
has now been successfully given three times (withnearly 90 participants), most recently in Lausanne from
June 4-8, 2007. It will be presented in an updated 4thedition in Lausanne, Switzerland on June 2-6, 2008 on
the campus of the EPFL. This course provides a broad,fundamental state-of-the-art review with comprehensive
treatment of both single-phase flow and heat transfer
and two-phase flow and heat transfer in microchannels.
The course is directed to heat transfer specialists in thecomputer and electronics cooling industries, theautomotive and the air-conditioning industries, themicro-reactor chemical industry, the aerospace avionics
industry, and the micro- and compact heat exchanger
industries. Furthermore, the course is addressed to Ph.D.
students, post-doctoral researchers and senior scientists
involved in this area of research.
The four course lecturers are internationallyrecognized experts in both microscale (and macroscale)research and applications:John R. Thome (Course Coordinator) is Professor
of Heat and Mass Transfer at the Swiss Federal Instituteof Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland. He lectures
primarily on two-phase flow, heat transfer and pressure
drops in microchannels (and macrochannels), on thermal
modeling of heat sinks and on CO2 heat transfer.
Iztok Zun is Professor and Head of the Laboratory
for Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics, Faculty of
Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana,
Slovenia. He lectures on the numerical simulation of
single-phase microchannel cooling elements and thestatus of numerical techniques for two-phase flows in
micro-channels of simple and complex geometry.
Gian Piero Celata is Director of the Institute ofThermal-Fluid Dynamics at the Italian national research
center ENEA and is honorary chair of the European
Two-Phase Flow Group among his many international
appointments. He focuses his lectures on the state-ofthe-art of single-phase heat transfer and fluid flow in

simple and complex geometries and on condensation
and boiling heat transfer in microchannels.
Anthony M. Jacobi is Kritzer Distinguished
Professor of the Department of Mechanical andIndustrial Engineering at the University of Illinois
Champaign-Urbana and is Co-director of the AirConditioning and Refrigeration Center. He lectures on
air-side heat transfer on compact heat exchanger coils(including prediction methods for heat transfer andpressure drop, flow visualization, turbulence
promotors, frost formation and condensate retention
effects).
Heat Transfer Research Inc. (Host) is a wellknown industrial research and development consortium
founded in 1962 and located in College Station, Texas
with about 700 member companies from around theworld and acts as the host for the course.
The first and third editions of this course were heldat the EPFL in Lausanne in 2006 and 2007 and wereattended by participants representing 19 different
countries (from Europe, Japan, North America, SouthAmerica and Turkey).
The second edition of this course was held in Dallas,
Texas in early 2007 at the Radisson Hotel in a slightly
shorten version and was attended by participants from
North America, Europe and South America.
The new fourth edition of the course will be held in
Lausanne from June 2-6, 2008 (see preliminary
program below). For information to attend the course,
contact the course coordinator (John Thome) or one ofthe other lecturers. The course lectures are updated foreach new edition of the course to account for the rapid
advances taking place in this new, dynamic discipline.
