Successful Outcome of the 10th World Filtration Congress in Leipzig
April 14–18, 2008, Leipzig, Germany
by Harald Anlauf
The international particle filtration and separation
community met at the new Leipzig Congress Centerfrom 14-18 April 2008 for the 10th World Filtration
Congress. This major event was hosted by the VDI
Society for Chemical and Process Engineering GVC.
The GVC is an member of INDEFI (International
Delegates on Filtration and Separation), the international
association which awards the WFC and which counts
professional associations from Belgium, China, England,
France, Japan, Austria, Scandinavia, South Africa,
Taiwan, Hungary and the USA in addition to Germany
amongst its members. The WFC is held once every four
years.
The Congress was attended by 750 delegates from45 nations, with 2400 visitors attending the related
Exhibition that hosted 150 exhibitors. During the weeklong WFC, participants at both events intensively
discussed the latest findings in the field of filtering andseparating particles from liquids and gases. Six wellattended short courses were offered the day before theCongress, dealing with topics from the areas of cakeand cross-flow filtration, centrifuge technology, gas
purification, multi-phase flow simulation, and particle
measurement technology. After a welcome address by
the Lord Mayor of Leipzig, Burkhard Jung, the Congress

was officially opened on 14 April 2008 by Dr. Harald
Anlauf from the University of Karlsruhe. The Chairmanof the international scientific committee, Prof. Eberhard
Schmidt from the University of Wuppertal, provided
an overview of the diverse programme featured 370
technical presentations, overview contributions andposter presentations.
The UK's Filtration Society used the platform of
the Congress opening to bestow its highest honour,
which this year was awarded to the German scientists
Dr. Mark Beiser (Pall), Dr. Ates Erk (BASF), Prof.
Dietmar Lerche (LUM) and Dr. Titus Sobisch (LUM)
for their groundbreaking work in the field of
sedimentation analysis. The keynote address, on the
topic of “Filtration in the Context of Globalization andTechnological Innovation”, was given by Prof. Richard
Wakeman from the University of Loughborough (UK).
The lectures held in 7 parallel events provided acomprehensive overview of the current status of almost
all processes related to mechanical particle separationand filtration. They covered ongoing developments inthe fundamental physical understanding of complex andboundary layer-determined separation processes as wellas current developments in device and application
technology. 6 overview presentations on topics such as

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.31 (2008) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flowcake, depth and cross-flow filtration, gas purification,filter media, and numerical simulation techniques enableddelegates to receive a concentrated overview of the
cutting edge of technology in the respective area.
Contributions focusing on practical aspects of the entire
spectrum of filtration and separation technology
provided operators of filtration and separation plants
with insights into other areas of application beyond thelimits of their own specialization. Device manufacturers
were exposed to a broad range of existing areas ofapplication for their specific technologies.
In relation to the latest trends, two developments
were especially noteworthy. Membrane-based
separation processes have become established as acompletely normal and mature separation technology
on a broad front. In combination with other separation
technologies, they often offer ideal process solutions.
It has also become clear that the use of numerical flow
simulation (CFD) has become an indispensable tool for
describing separation processes and designing separation
devices in spite of the continuing need for ongoingdevelopment. Modern measurement techniques foranalyzing or characterizing the systems which are to be
separated also play an important role, of course. This
became clear from the remarkable number ofmanufacturers of devices for measuring particles thatexhibited at the Exhibition which took placeconcurrently.
The Society of Austrian Chemists (GesellschaftÖsterreichischer Chemiker, GÖCH) was elected with
an absolute majority to host the 11th World Filtration
Congress, to be held in Graz April 14-18, 2012.
Following the election, the new Congress president,
Prof. Wilhelm Höflinger from the Vienna University ofTechnology, will assume chairmanship of INDEFI for
the next four years. Prof. Gerd Mauschitz, also fromthe Vienna University of Technology, was elected as
Chairman of the international scientific committee for
WFC11.
The next large international event in the field of
mechanical particle separation is the FILTECH 2009
Conference and Exhibition, which will again take placein Wiesbaden from 13-15 October 2009. Interested
colleagues are invited to submit abstracts for presentation
until December 31, 2008. More information can be foundat www.filtech.deDr. Harald Anlauf

by JP Meyer
The 6th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid
Mechanics and Thermodynamics (HEFAT2008), washeld in Pretoria, South Africa as part of the Universityof Pretoria’s 100-year celebrations “A century in theservice of knowledge”.
For this conference and proceedings, all papers were
peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and almost
150 papers were accepted. The review policy was that
only original research papers that were recommended
unconditionally by two reviewers who are distinguishedsubject specialists in the field of the relevant paper
were accepted.
A large number of papers were submitted, and it
was possible to select only papers of a high standard
for publication in the proceedings.
The papers in the proceedings were read in 17
parallel lecture sessions over a period of three days
during which five keynote papers were presented. The
large number of scheduled presentations contributed
without a doubt towards creating a meaningful forum
for discussing the latest developments as well as forkeeping abreast with the state of the art in heat transfer,
fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
The common objectives of the conference were to
bring together scientists and engineers, and for inspiring
us to uncover, share and glean more knowledge in orderto tackle humankind’s future problems. Furthermore,

the purpose was to provide a forum for specialists inheat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics fromall corners of the globe to present the latest progressand developments in the field. This not only allowed
the dissemination of the state of the art, but will serve
as a catalyst for discussions on future directions andpriorities in the areas of heat transfer, fluid mechanics
and thermodynamics. The additional purposes of thisconference were to introduce Africa to the rest of theworld and to initiate collaboration in research.
In 2002, the 1st International Conference on Heat
Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics(HEFAT2002) was hosted in the Kruger National Park,
South Africa. In 2003, the 2nd International Conference
on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics andThermodynamics (HEFAT2003) was hosted at theVictoria Falls, Zambia. The 2004 conference(HEFAT2004) was in Cape Town and the 4th conference(HEFAT2005) took place in Cairo, while the 5 thconference (HEFAT2007) was at Sun City, South Africa.

University of Technology. Throughout that past time
the number of participants and scientific centres they
represent have been consecutively growing.
Historically, during the first conference 39 papers were
presented, during the second, third and fourth editions
35, 67 and 74 papers, respectively. However, interestin the fifth edition (2008) has been outstanding, in fact,
the latest edition of the Conference gathered more papers
than ever before - 124 accepted papers were presented
by delegates from 28 countries: Austria, Australia,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic,
Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan,
Korea, Kuwait, Lithuania, Malaysia, The Netherlands,
New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Slovenia, Switzerland,
Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, USA. Thanks to aconsiderably reduced fee we also enabled young PhD
students to participate in the Conference.
This 3 and a half day Conference was inaugurated
by Dr Ramesh K. Shah (India) who delivered the opening
address. Subsequently, the conference program included
the distinguished plenary lecture delivered by G. P.

Podowski(USA), M.E. Poniewski (Poland), M. Sommerfeld(Germany), R.K. Shah (India), J.R. Thome(Switzerland), A. Ullmann (Israel), C-C. Wang (Taiwan).

The contributed papers were presented at regularsessions via predominantly poster presentations and a
few stand-up oral. On the overall the papers presented
cover a broad spectrum of topics ranging fromhydrodynamics through boiling and condensation,
innovative and advanced experimental techniques,
numerical modelling of complex fundamental aspects ofmultiphase systems to studies of practical problems
and their industrial applications. There werediscussions, assessments, intense and suggestive critics
following many oral and at poster presentations. The
number of papers presented and variety of subjects
considered confirm the continual progress and grow ofresearch works in the field.
Two-volume book contains the Proceedings1 of thefifth edition (2008) of the Conference where the plenary
lecture paper, all keynote papers and all contributed
papers are included. The presentation of all the papers
in the Proceedings is in the full text and organized suchthat at beginning of volume 1 the Keynote papers (15papers) are given headed by the Plenary Lecture paper.
Subsequently the Conference Papers (108 papers)

XCFD4NRS“Experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics for Nuclear Reactor Safety”
September 10–12, 2008, Grenoble, France
by Dominique Bestion
XCFD4NRS, “Experiments and Computational Fluid
Dynamics for Nuclear Reactor Safety” is an OECDNEA & IAEA Workshop, which was hosted andorganized by CEA in Grenoble (FRANCE) on
September 10-12, 2008. Following CFD4NRS, held in2006 in Garching (GERMANY), it was a forum fornumerical analysts and experimentalists to exchange
information in the field of Nuclear Reactor Safety (NRS)
related activities relevant to Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) validation, with some emphasis
placed on new experimental techniques and more focus
on two-phase CFD applications.
XCFD4NRS aimed at providing a better evaluationof the maturity of CFD codes for NRS applications.
Emphasis was put on the definition and application ofBest Practice Guidelines and on an adequate validation
using “CFD-grade” experiments. New measurement
techniques of interest for this validation have also beenpresented.
59 papers were presented covering several topics
such as Mixing and dilution problems, Containment
thermalhydraulics, Boiling flow and CHF investigations,
Pressurized Thermal Shock, Advanced Reactors, andvarious accident analyses. Results of three Working
Groups of OECD-CSNI on application of CFD to NRS
were also presented by the coordinators. 5 Keynote
Lectures were presented by V. Teschendorff (GRS), T.
Schulenberg (FZK) and Professors S. Banerjee (Univ.
New York, USA), Y. Hassan (Univ. of Texas A&M)
and T. Hibiki (Purdue Univ.). More than 140 people
attended the workshop, coming from 15 European
countries, USA, Japan, Korea, ...
Progress has been noticed on some instrumentation
techniques, on BPG application, on the quality of somevalidation results. Conclusions were drawn on the needto further develop measurement techniques, to define
more precise BPG specific to each NRS application,and to develop uncertainty evaluation methods.
A follow up workshop to be held in 2010 will be
proposed to OECD-WGAMA, which could beorganized in the USA.
