Japan-U.S. Seminar on Two-phase Flow
Dynamics 2017 was held during June 22-24, 2017 at
Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan. The seminar
was chaired by Prof. Michitsugu Mori (Hokkaido
University), Prof. Gretar Tryggvason (University ofNotre Dame), and vice-chair Prof. Yuichi Murai(Hokkaido University). The seminar was co-sponsoredby JSMF, JSME-Hokkaido Division, AESJ-Hokkaido
Division, and National Science Foundation.

researchers from Japan and the US. Keynote
presentations were given by Prof. Steven Ceccio(University of Michigan) on bubbly shock propagation,
Prof. Shu Takagi (University of Tokyo) on bubble
clusters to vortical structures in turbulent bubbly flows,
Prof. Akio Tomiyama (Kobe University) on modelingand numerical simulation of bubbly flow in bubble
column, and Prof. Xiaodong Sun (University ofMichigan) on liquid velocity field measurement
around Taylor bubbles.

(ETH-Zurich). In the evening of the second day,seminar banquet was held at the 20th floor of Century
Royal Hotel near Sapporo station. Special remarks
were given by Mr. Justin Tull of U.S. Consulate
General, and Vice President of Hokkaido University
Prof. Nishii.
Participants also enjoyed theperformance given by Japanese Folk Song Group of
Hokkaido University, “Minken-Wadachi.” Finally,
candidate site of the next Japan-U.S. Seminar wasannounced by Prof. Ceccio of University of MichiganAnn Arbor.

The Japan-U.S. seminar 2017 brought fruitful
discussions among researchers from various
disciplines, and reaffirmed its value with a rich history
dating back to 1970s. On behalf of local organizing
committee, I would like to end this column withspecial thanks to all the participants and staff members
who made this seminar possible.

The seminar also included laboratory tour as a partof the program and participants had opportunities to
see the currently ongoing two-phase flow related
experimental programs at Hokkaido University at
Fluid Dynamics and Flow Control Laboratory, Nuclear
System Safety Engineering Laboratory, and Wind
Tunnel Laboratory. On second day of the seminar,
special session was organized on the reports oncurrently ongoing two-phase flow research activities
in Japan, US, and EU given by Prof. Yuichi Murai,
Prof. Gretar Tryggvason, and Prof. Yasushi Takeda

The 3rd International Conference on Numerical Methods in Multiphase Flows
June 26-29, 2017, Tokyo, Japanby Shu Takagi
The 1st ICNMMF was held in Penn State University(USA) in 2012, and the 2nd was in Technical
University of Darmstadt (Germany). The idea behind
this conference series is to have an international highlevel meeting, focused on numerical aspects withrespect to the latest developments and needs in CFD
for multiphase flows. Our intent is to bring together theinternational community in a focused technicalThe 3rd International Conference on Numerical
Methods in Multiphase Flows (ICNMMF-III) was
held at The University of Tokyo, Institute of Industrial
Science, (Komaba-II campus), Tokyo, Japan, from
June 26 to 29, 2017. The co-chairpersons of thisconference are Prof. Akio Tomiyama (Kobe
University) and myself ( Shu Takagi (The Universityof Tokyo)).

exchange environment.
This time, we had more than 160 attendants and morethan 130 presentations including 18 invited speakers( 6 Plenary Speakers and 12 Keynote speakers ) .
Plenary talks were given by-

Prof. Tim Colonius (California Institute ofTechnology, USA),
Prof. Jacobus Derksen University of Aberdeen, UK),
Dr. Djamel Lakehal (ASCOMP, Switzerland),Prof. Dominique Legendre (Institut de Mécaniquedes Fluides de Toulouse, France),
Prof. Andrea Prosperetti (University of Houston,USA),
Prof. Hiroyuki Takahira (Osaka Prefecture( in alphabetical
University, Japan)

sequence )We had many participants from foreign countries,
124 participants from 25 countries. As was expected,
the quality of the talks was very good and I got manye-mails after the conference saying that the quality ofthe talks, especially by the invited speakers wereexcellent.
Compared with the previous ICNMMFs, I had an
impression this time that more emphasis was on theinterpretation of the numerical results. The ICNMMF
had originally the purpose of sharing the detailknowledge for the development of accurate androbust numerical schemes. In some sense, this has
been achieved in the last 2 conferences and thepurpose
objectives are gradually moving to the next stage, thatis how we utilize the developed scheme to understandthe multiphase flow physics. So, I amvery muchlooking forward to seeing what kinds of new analysis
will be given in the next ICNMMF.
Finally, I would like to thank to all the Local
Organizing Committee members, Scientific Program
Committee members and supporting stuffs for the
conference. Special thanks are to Prof. Akio
Tomiyama for co-chairing the conference, Prof. Takeo
Kajishima as a chair of scientific committee members
for finalizing the program and Kosuke Hayashi forwebsite and general stuffs.
The next conference, ICNMMF-IV, will be held in
Houston chaired by Prof. Andrea Prosperetti(University of Houston). I look forward to seeing you
there.
