The 11th Pacific Symposium on Flow Visualization and Image Processing
December 1 -3 , 2017, Kumamoto, Japan
by Akimaro Kawahara
The 11th Pacific Symposium on Flow
Visualization and Image Processing (PSFVIP-11) was
held during December 1-3, 2017 at Kumamoto
University, Kumamoto, Japan. The symposium waschaired by Prof. Shuichi Torii (Kumamoto
University). The symposium was hosted by the
Pacific Center for Thermal Fluid Engineering andKumamoto University with cooperating societies of
The Japan Society for Multiphase Flow, The Japan
Society of Mechanical Engineers, The AcousticalSociety of Japan, The Visualization Society of Japan,
The Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics and Heat
Transfer Society of Japan.
First three symposiums were on the Hawaiian
Islands in 1997, 1999, 2001, while the fourth was inFrance at Chamonix in 2003 and the fifth was on an
island near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia in
2005. The sixth symposium returned to Hawaii.
Following the Symposium in Kaohsiung (2009),
Moscow (2011), Busan (2013), and Naples (2015).
The objective of this symposium is to provide an
opportunity for world-wide researches and engineers
in all areas of flow visualization, image processing
and related techniques to exchange knowledge andnew experience in the spirit of collaboration andfriendship. Papers dealing with current researchranging from fundamental principles and techniques
to applications on the above topics are appropriate.
Topics include, but are not limited to, flow fieldvisualization, surface flow visualization, computer

assisted techniques, graphical display of data, digital
image processing and CFD studies.
The technical program in PSFVIP-11 consisted of
6 keynote lectures, 22 oral sessions with 100
presentations and 2 poster sessions with 15
presentations in three days. The keynote speakers
were as follows:
Prof. Koji OKAMOTO (The University of Tokyo,
Japan), Prof. Choongsik BAE (Korea Advanced
Institute of Science and Technology, Korea), Prof.
Irina ZNAMENSKAYA (Lomonosov Moscow State
University, Russia), Prof. Gennaro CARDONE(University of Naples Federico II, Italy), Prof.
Tai-Wen HSU (National Taiwan Ocean University,
Taiwan)andDr.
Friedrich
LEOPOLD(French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis,
France).
We had many participants from foreign countries,
160 participants from 11 countries. The PSFVIP-11
brought fruitful discussions among researchers fromvarious disciplines, and reaffirmed its value.

Finally, I would like to thanks to all the reviewer,
session chairs, all the participants and staff members
who made this symposium successful. Special thankis to Prof. Hironori Satioh (Sojo University) as aco-secretary and Hiroyuki Yoshikawa (Kumamoto
University) as a local committee member for his
devotion and contributions to PSFVIP-11.

In the symposium banquet, “Kumamon” who is theofficial mascot character for Kumamoto Prefecture,
greeted all participants warmly. After that, theparticipants also enjoyed “Yamaga Lantern” dance
performed by students of Kumamoto Prefectural
Kamoto Agricultural High School. Finally, candidate
site of the next symposium (PSFVIP-12) wasannounced by Prof. Herchang Ay (National
Kauohsiung Unversity of Applied Sciences, Taiwan).

ISMTMF focused on the advanced measurement
techniques and extended to complex multiphase flow
systems. It covers wide subjects from basic science toindustry aiming at new findings of multiphase fluid
dynamics as well as responding to requirements in
multiphase industries. The first ISMTMF wasinaugurated in Nanjing, China, in 1995. The forum
has been held every two to three years, including
those in Beijing (1998), Fukui (2001), Hangzhou(2004), Macau (2006), Okinawa (2008), Tianjin(2011), Guangzhou (2013) and Sapporo (2015).
Together, these events have helped promote scientificand technical communications well as foster
collaboration.
In ISMTMF’17, the topics included fundamentals
of multiphase flow measurement techniques,experimental
methods,
novel
sensorsandmeasurement methods, micro/nano technology,
information technology for multiphase flow, optical,
non-intrusivetechniques,
tomography
andvisualization techniques, and ultrasound techniques
for multiphase flow.
In the present 10th symposium, a total of 151
accepted technical papers, including 5 plenary papers.
There were 148 technical papers presented during thethree-day symposium, including five plenary lectures
given by Profs. Martin Sommerfeld, Cameron Tropea,
Tianshou Zhao, Yuichi Murai and Hui Hu. Total
number of the participants was 201 come from ninecountries/regions including China, France, Germany,
Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Macau, Taiwan and USA,
which has been the largest number ever in this series.
For the participants to enjoy Hong Kong’s food, asymposium banquet with lion dance performance inthe evening on December 5 has been arranged.
A mini-excursion was to take 140 participants on
three buses to Hong Kong local tour including thePeak and Repulse Bay. The 11th ISMTMF is to beheld in Zhenjiang, China, in 2019.
