Another paper presented an experimental research on
enhancement of the critical heat flux in water-based
nanofluids. The advanced CFD studies were represented
by papers dealing with the Large Eddy Simulation (LES)of turbulent flow in PWR fuel assemblies andcomputation of droplet-laden turbulent channel flow.
The last accent of the Workshop was a panel study on"Physical Modeling and CFD as a tool for simulation of
two-phase flows and heat transfer in nuclear fuelassemblies: feasibility and needs".

were addressed in which a three-dimensional bubble
tracking model was combined with a two-dimensional
two-fluid model to predict void fraction profiles in subcooled boiling. Applications were demonstrated where
sub-cooled boiling model was applied to predict thermalhydraulic behavior of a hot sub-channel in a fuel rod
assembly. Also, an approach to deal with the predictionof the critical heat flux in the sub-cooled boilingconditions was demonstrated. Finally, additional
validation of existing models of sub-cooled boilingagainst detailed measurements was presented.
Another topic addressed by several papers was thesimulation and modeling of the annular dispersed twophase flows in fuel assemblies with spacers. The drop
dynamics and deposition rates were modeled using theEulerian-Lagrangian approach, in which the influenceof flow obstacles was treated in a mechanistic way.
In the second day of the workshop certain aspectsof the experimental and advanced CFD approaches were
presented. One paper was covering an overview of
instrumentation used for two-phase flow measurements.

3D S.UN.COP TRAINING COURSES
http://dimnp.ing.unipi.it/3dsuncop/
January 22 – February 9, 2007, Texas, USA
by Alessandro Petruzzi
The 3D S.UN.COP (Scaling, Uncertainty and 3D
COuPled code calculations) training aims to transfer
competence, knowledge and experience from recognizedinternational experts in the area of scaling, uncertainty
and 3D coupled code calculations in nuclear reactor
safety technology to analysts with a suitable nuclear
background. Among the main objectives are:
¾ To diffuse the use of international guidance;¾ To homogenize the approach in the use of computercodes (like RELAP, TRACE, CATHARE, ATHLET,IMPACT) for accident analysis;¾ To disseminate the use of standard procedures for
qualifying thermal-hydraulic system code calculation;¾ To promote Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU)
methodologies in thermal-hydraulic accident analysis
through the presentation of the current industrial
applications and the description of the theoreticalaspects of the deterministic and statistical uncertainty
methods as well as the method based upon the
propagation of output;¾ To spread available-robust approaches based on
BEPU methodology in Licensing Process;¾ To address and reduce User Effects;¾ To realize a meeting point for exchanges of ideas
among the worlds of Academy, ResearchLaboratories, Industry, Regulatory Authorities andInternational Institutions.
The framework in which the 3D S.UN.COP
seminars have been designed may be derived from Figure
1, where the roles of two main international institutions(OECD and IAEA) and of the US NRC (and theregulatory bodies of other countries) in order to address
the problem of user effect are outlined.
The training is open to research organizations,companies, vendors, industry, academic institutions,
regulatory authorities, national laboratories, etc. The
seminar is in general subdivided into three parts andparticipants may choose to attend a one-, two- or threeweek course. The first week is dedicated to thebackground information including the theoretical bases
for the proposed methodologies; the second week isdevoted to the practical application of the methodologies
and to the hands-on training on numerical codes; thethird week is dedicated to the user qualification problem
through the hands-on training for advanced user andinclude a final exam. From the point of view of the
conduct of the training, the weeks are characterized bylectures, code-expert teaching and by hands-onapplication. More than thirty scientists are in general
involved in the organization of the seminars, presenting
theoretical aspects of the proposed methodologies andholding the training and the final examination. A
certificate of qualified code user is released toparticipants that successfully solve the assigned
problems during the exams (Figure 2).

24th Zurich Short Courses on Modelling and Computation of Multiphase Flows
March 12–16, 2007, Zurich, Switzerlandby George Yadigaroglu
The 24th edition of these courses has been conducted,
hosted again by the Swiss Federal Institute ofTechnology in Zurich. This year there was an increased
number of participants from Europe (possibly linked
to the renewal of interest in the nuclear technology, butthere were also participants from a host of otherindustries: energy technology, petroleum, chemical, foodprocessing, information technology, metallurgy, etc.).
An increasing number of overseas participants are also
attending these courses now; there were numerous
participants from Japan, Korea, India, USA, Canada,
Mexico, South Africa and Australia. By now, some 1500
participants attended the Zurich courses.
The courses are organised in a modular form as
intensive introductory courses for persons having basic
knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, andnumerical techniques, but also serve as advanced courses
for specialists wishing to obtain the latest information.
Inter-industry transfer of multiphase flow knowledge
is one of the aims of the courses that are attended byscientists and engineers coming from a variety ofbackgrounds and industries.
As usual, Part I, Bases covered the common
background material and emphasised the latest
mechanistic understanding, modelling andcomputational aspects of multiphase flows. An
introductory "tutorial" chapter was emailed this year
to the participants to familiarize them with the basic
material and bring them to a common basic level before
the beginning of the course. Lectures on advanced twophase flow instrumentation were added to the course
this year.
Part IIA, New Reactor Systems and Methods covered
the multiphase phenomena in LWRs as well as advanced
computational modelling of these systems. The stateof-the-art and beyond in modelling and simulation
methods for core design and accident analysis waspresented and then the most recently proposedadvanced reactor system designs, including the neardeployment passive LWR systems and those in
Generation IV were reviewed, in particular in relation

to multiphase flow phenomena.
Part IIB, the module on Computational Multi-Fluid
Dynamics (CMFD) reflects the growing interest in theapplication of CFD techniques to multi-phase flows.
This part of the course was again expanded to covermost new computational techniques. It included an
introductory lecture and lectures on the Volume of Fluid(VOF) method, the ghost-fluid, level-set and phasefield methods, Lattice Gas Cellular Automata, as well
as reviews of applications of all these.
Finally the relatively new module, CMFD with
Commercial Codes completed the course and was wellreceived again: the participants had the possibility tomeet the main commercial code developers who
presented the multiphase computational capability of
their codes that is constantly improving.
Numerous movies, videos, animations, andcomputer simulations, some classical, some produced
very recently, were offered again to illustrate thephysical phenomena and the numerical techniques.
The lecturers in this series of carefully organizedcourses are experts in their respective fields but are
selected also for their pedagogical capabilities. This year
they included: S. Banerjee, D. Bestion, M.L. Corradini,
G. Hetsroni, G.F. Hewitt, D. Lakehal, S. Lo, J.-M.
Prasser, G. Scheuerer, S.A. Vasquez, G. Yadigaroglu andS. Zaleski.
The participants received an extensive set of lecturenotes and copies of all the standardised presentations.
The course language was English. The exact scheduleand contents of the lectures can be found in the Course

History of the Conference
The International Conference on Multiphase Flow (ICMF) first was held in TSUKUBA, Japan in 1991 and thesecond ICMF took place in KYOTO, Japan in 1995. During this conference it was decided to establish an
International Governing Board which takes care about the major aspects of the conference and decides about
the future 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. Hence, ICMF 98 was held in LYON, France; ICMF 2001 in NEW ORLEANS, USA and ICMF
2004 in YOKOHAMA, Japan. In Yokohama the Governing Board decided to have the ICMF 2007 in LEIPZIG
Germany.

Scope of the Conference
The conference will be devoted to all aspects of Multiphase Flow. Researchers from all over the world should
gather in order to introduce their recent advances in the field and thereby promote the exchange of new ideas,
results and techniques. The conference should be a key event in Multiphase Flow and support the advancementof science in this very important field. The major research areas relevant for the conference are:• Elementary processes for particles, droplets, bubbles and nano-particles (dispersed Multiphase Flows)• Interaction phenomena in dense dispersed multiphase flows (collision, agglomeration, coalescence)• Discontinuous multiphase flows (annular, slug, wavy and stratified flows, flow pattern regimes andinstabilities)• Multiphase flows with phase change (boiling, evaporation and condensation, reactive flows)• Numerical methods for multiphase flows (Euler/Euler, Euler/Lagrange, DNS, LES, VOF, interface tracking
population balance, molecular modelling)• Instrumentation for multiphase flow analysis (holography, tomography, LDA, PDA, imaging techniques)• Applications (chemical engineering, biotechnology, nuclear engineering, combustion, automotive, nanotechnology, life science, environment)
