26th Zurich Short Courses on
Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows
Part I: BasesPart IIA: New Reactor Systems and Methods
Part IIB: Computational Multi-Fluid Dynamics (CMFD)
Part III: CMFD with Commercial Codes
February 9–12, 2009, Zurich, Switzerlandby George Yadigaroglu
Another participation record was reached this year withattendees coming from 18 different countries, mainly
again from Europe, but also in significant numbers now
from the United States, Canada, Korea, Japan, etc.; there
were also first-time participants from Cyprus andMalaysia. The courses were hosted, as usual, by ETH
Zurich.
While the majority of the participants came again
from nuclear industries, institutes, or institutions; manyother industries were also represented, well in line with
one of the goals of the course, which is the horizontaltransfer of knowledge between various industries;
clearly multiphase flows find applications in many
fields.
The courses (four intensive 90-minute lectures perday) were, as usual, offered the first three days as an
introductory module, Part I, followed by two parallel
modules (Parts IIA and IIB). Finally all the participants
assembled again for Part III that included morepresentations this year. Discussions of the participants
during the lectures and the coffee breaks with thelecturers and among themselves were encouraged.
The course has evolved since 1984 dramatically.
The first courses included only 18 lectures in a single
module. The growth of the course reflects progress inthe basic approaches, in the interests of the various
industries and more recently the greatly renewed interest
in nuclear energy (the nuclear “renaissance”) and incomputational fluid dynamics. CFD, after having
matured in its single-phase version, is now becoming
commonplace for multi-phase applications.
An introductory “tutorial” text was emailed to all
the participants before the beginning of the course tofamiliarize them with the basic material, definitions andnomenclature and bring them to a common basic level,
so that they could more easily and effectively follow
the course. The first four chapters of a book being
published by G. Tryggvason, R. Scardovelli and S.
Zaleski (the first and third being lecturers) were also
mailed to the Part IIB participants as an introduction
and familiarization with this part of the course.
Part I, Bases covered the common backgroundmaterial and emphasised the latest mechanistic
understanding, modelling and computational aspects ofmultiphase flows. Part IIA, New Reactor Systems andMethods, covered the multiphase phenomena in LWRs
and Generation IV reactors, as well as advanced
computational modelling of these systems. The latest
developments in modelling and simulation methods forcore design and accident analysis were presented.
Part IIB, the module on Computational Multi-Fluid
Dynamics (CMFD) was followed by more than half
the participants interested in the application of CFD
techniques to multi-phase flows. This part of the course
was largely redesigned again this year to include two
introductory lectures that better situate the following
more specialized ones. The module covered the maininterface tracking methods, as well as other approaches
like Lattice Gas Cellular Automata with numerous
applications.
Finally in the last, common module, CMFD with
Commercial Codes, the participants had the opportunity
to learn, directly from four of the main commercial codedevelopers, about the multiphase capabilities of theircodes. The applications every year become moreadvanced and sophisticated as the computing power
and the capabilities of the codes are constantly
improved.
The participants particularly like the numerous
movies, videos, animations, and computer simulations,some “oldies” and some produced very recently, thatare 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 pedagogicalqualities. This year they included: S. Banerjee,
D. Bestion, M.L. Corradini, T. Frank, G. Hetsroni,
G.F. Hewitt, D. Lakehal, S. Lo, H.-M. Prasser,
G. Tryggvason, S.A. Vasquez, G. Yadigaroglu andS. Zaleski.
The participants receive an extensive set of lecturenotes, in addition to handouts produced from thestandardised PowerPoint presentations. More details

1st European Conference on Microfluidics - µFlu2008
December 10–12, 2008, Bologna, Italy
by Stéphane Colin and Gian Luca Morini
The first European Conference on Microfluidics, which
was organized by the Hydrotechnic Society of France(SHF), the University of Bologna and the National
Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) of Toulouse, hasbeen held in Bologna, Italy, from 10 to 12 December,
2008.
This event has gathered 265 participants from 33
countries, two times more than for µFlu2006, the 3rd
French Conference on Microfluidics which was behind
this first European Conference. During three days, 176
communications have been presented in 10 thematic
sessions.
With regard to rarefied microflows of simple gases orgaseous mixtures, the last theoretical models which
cover slip-flow, transition and free-molecular regimes,
were compared and discussed in the light of recent
experimental measurements.
A significant number of works relative to liquid
and two-phase microflows, with a large part devoted
to thermal aspects, were also presented. Generating andhandling of micro drops, on surfaces as well as inside
microchannels, are particularly active topics at thepresent time in the microfluidics community. The
control of liquid flows by means of electrokinetic forces,
specially adapted to microscale, formed the subject ofa series of original works.
New microfabrication techniques applied to thedesign of fluidic microsystems (micro-actuators,

micromixers, lab-on-a-chip…) were also detailed inpresentations which have been appreciated by themechanical community.
Furthermore, the multidisciplinary of microfluidics
was clearly demonstrated through works devoted tochemical or bio-chemical applications, for whichmicrodroplets may play the role of biological orchemical microreactors.
Finally, a special session was devoted toexperimental techniques for analysis and visualizationof microflows, among which microPIV and holographic
microscopy techniques.
Wide time slots were reserved for open discussions
around posters, in order to complete debates engaged
during oral presentations. The interest of industry for
microfluidics was in evidence during scientific talks,
as well as around industrial stands.
The second European Conference on Microfluidics will
be held in Toulouse, France, in December 2010.

3rd ECI International Conference on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Microscale
September 21–26, 2008, Whistler, Canada
by Gian Piero Celata
The 3rd ECI International Conference on Heat Transfer
and Fluid Flow in Microscale has been held in Whistler,
Canada on 21-26 September 2008, after the previous
two editions in Banff, Canada (October 2000) andCastelvecchio Pascoli, Lucca, Italy (2005). The
Conference has been chaired by Gian Piero Celata, andco-chaired by Nobuhide Kasagi, Masahiro Kawaji, John
Thome and Ken Breuer. The Conference has beenorganized in oral plenary sessions, and a total of 53
papers and 8 keynote lectures have been presented,

with a participation of 65 delegates coming fromnumerous Countries, testifying the large world networkof heat transfer and fluid flow in microscale area.
Keynote lectures have dealt with:

R. Lindken, Experimental and numerical investigationof the symmetry-breaking and flow bifurcation in a

Y. Utaka, Contribution of micro-layer in boiling heattransfer
The 53 papers have been grouped in the following
sessions: condensation, flow boiling, fluid flow, twophase flow, heat exchangers, heat transfer, measurement
techniques, microfluidic systems, nanofluids, andcollected in a CD-ROM. A selection of about 25 papers
will be published in two special issues of the Journals‘Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science’ (Guest
Editor: Gian Piero Celata) and ‘International Journalof Heat and Fluid Flow’ (Guest Editor: Nobuhide
Kasagi).
From the technical viewpoint the following conclusions
can be drawn:a) Single-phase heat transfer and fluid flow: it looks
now established that macroscale knowledge can be
successfully applied to microscale taking into
consideration all scaling effects, such as viscous
dissipation, axial conduction, thermal entrance
length,.....

b) Two-phase flow with and without phase change: inthis case the bubble confinement due to the pipe
diameter reduction is largely affecting the flow withrespect to large pipe diameters. The less accurate
theoretical knowledge of two-phase flow phenomena,
more complex than single-phase flow ones,
microchannel flow is calling for a more extensive
experimentation both fundamental and applied.
c) Measurement techniques: they have been strongly
developed over the last years also for two-phasesystems, especially PIV techniques and capacitanceprobe, thus offering more tools for a deeper insight.
d) Industrial applications: they start growing in asystematic way, and some systems based on
microchannels (see e.g., the lecture given by Deborah
Pence on fractal-like flow networks) prove to be ofinterest for the multipurpose application and the highefficiency.
The Conference will be repeated on a 2-3 years basis.
