speakers: Prof. Tomoaki Kunugi (Kyoto Univ.), Prof.
Gretar Tryggvason (Norte Dame Univ.), Prof.
Michitsugu Mori (Hokkaido Univ.), Prof. Michio
Sadatomi (Kumamoto Univ.), Prof. Seungjin Kim(Pennsylvania State Univ.), and Prof. Tomoji
Takamasa (Tokyo Univ. Marine Science andTechnology). They made memorial presentations inthis seminar. The technical sessions were composedof the following topics: (i) Dynamic changes to theinter-facial structure or flow regime, (ii) Local
three-dimensional phenomena near the interface anddetailed CFD of two-phase flow, (iii) Dynamic
system behaviors and instabilities, (iv) Detailed local
instrumentation and experiments, (v) Ongoing Ph.D.

by Tomomi Uchiyama
The International Conference on Jets, Wakes andSeparated Flows 2015 (ICJWSF 2015) was held at
KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm,
Sweden from June 15th to 18th, 2015 (Photo 1). The
conference was chaired by Professor Laszlo Fuchs(KTH). It takes over the tradition established by the
successful meetings commenced in Toba (2005)
chaired by Prof. Shakouchi (Mie University, Japan)
and continued in Berlin (2008) chaired by Prof.
Paschereit (TU Berlin, Germany), Cin-cinnati (2010)
chaired by Prof. Gutmark (University of Cincinnati,
U.S.A.) and Nagoya (2013) chaired by Prof. Sakai(Nagoya University, Japan). The ICJWSF 2015 waspartially cooperated by the Japanese Society for
Multiphase Flow.
The objective of this conference is to explore jets,
wakes and separated flows by discussing the newdevelopments in the mechanics, the physical models,
and the engineering applications. More than 160

International Conference on Multiphase Flow 2016
Firenze, Italy, May 22 - 27, 2016www.aidic.it/icmf2016/index.html

Conference Overview
The first edition of ICMF was held in Tsukuba (Japan) in 1991. The second edition took place in Kyoto (Japan)
in 1995. During this conference, it was decided to establish an International Governing Board which oversees the
major aspects of the conference and makes decisions about future conference locations. Due to the great importance of the field, it was furthermore decided to hold the conference every three years successively in Asia
including Australia, Europe including Africa, Russia and the Near East and America. Since the first edition ICMF
has grown into the largest conference in the field of multiphase flow.
The 9th conference will be held in Firenze (Italy) and will be devoted to all aspects of Multiphase Flow. We are
expecting more than 900 experts and professional researchers from all over the world will attend and makepresentations of their research results and recent advancements. It will be a great opportunity to share and promote
the exchange of new ideas, results and techniques, but also to extend social networking.

2013: Jeju (Korea) - M.H. Kim (Chairman)
2010: Tampa (USA) - J. Sinclair Curtis and S. Balachandar (co-Chairmen)
