12th Japan-Korea Symposium on Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics and Safety（NTHAS-12）
October 30 -November 2, 2022, Phoenix Seagaia Resort, Miyazaki, Japanby Yutaka ABE
NTHAS-12 (The 12th Korea-Japan Symposium
on Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics and Safety) was heldfrom October 30 to November 2, 2022, at the Phonix
Seagaia Resort in Miyazaki Prefecture. A total of 181
participants (80 from Japan and 101 from Korea)
attended the symposium, and 105 papers werepresented in addition to 2 plenary lectures and 4
keynote lectures.
This symposium has been held biennially in Japanand Korea alternately for more than 20 years since thefirst symposium was held in Pusan, Korea in 1998 by
the Thermal Hydraulics Division of AESJ and KNS in
Japan and Korea. The conferences have been very
successful in terms of quality of technology andnumber of participants, providing a unique opportunity
to discuss the latest technical information from Japanand Korea as well as to interact with colleagues fromneighboring countries.
Originally, the conference was to be held every
two years, alternating between Japan and Korea. Thus,initially, this NTHAS-12 was scheduled to take placein 2020. Unfortunately, the year 2020 was also thebeginning of the global COVID-19 corona pandemic.
The NTHAS-12 was forced to be postponed repeatedly
due to the COVID-19 corona pandemic. After twoyears of postponement, it was decided to held theNTHAS as a FACE-TO-FACE Style Symposium inMiyazaki in 2022.
Although the coronary outbreak is now undercontrol, the scale of the meeting was comparable toprevious NTHASs, even though the situation still does
not allow for optimism. In particular, this was an

opportunity to reaffirm the depth and certainty of theties between Japan and South Korea in the field ofnuclear thermal hydraulics.
Thanks to the efforts and dedication of theparticipants from Japan and Korea as well as all thepeople involved in this symposium, we were able tohold a successful conference.
I would like to express my gratitude once again.

10th International Conference on Conveying and Handling of Particulate Solids
5-9 July 2022, Salerno, Italyby Koichiro OGATA
The 10th International Conference on Conveyingand Handling of Particulate Solids was held on 5-9
July 2022 at the Grand Hotel Salerno, Italy, as a faceto-face meeting style. The University of Salerno
hosted the conference, kindly chaired by Professor
Massimo Poletto and Dr. Diego Barletta. The scope ofthe conference is particle science and technology forproducing and handling particulate materials such as
chemicals, ceramics, minerals, foods, pharmaceutics,
biomass fuels and additive manufacturing and so on.
The research fields extended over the solid flow,mechanical behaviour of bulk materials, powder

testing, mixing, segregation, and modelling in theindustrial sectors. The conference gathered about 200
participants from around the world in centered Europe
although researchers from Japan, the US, Australia andChina could not come to the conference due to thepandemic. The program includes 7 plenaries, 26
keynotes, and 150 presentations and posters.
Plenary talks were given by- Prof. Heinrich Jaeger (University of Chicago, USA)
- Prof. Dingena Schott (Delft University ofTechnology, The Netherlands)- Prof. Chuan-Yu Wu (University of Surrey, UK)

I was impressed by these talks focusing on theunderstanding of fundamental behaviour of particulatematerials, the modelling using the assessment of theparticle physical properties, the experiments, and thesimulation techniques. Particularly, the DEM
simulation was used in much research as a valuabletool to understand the mechanism of particle behaviour.
The research topics were categorized into 10
tracks: Track 1. Pneumatic and mechanical conveying,Track 2. Multiphase flow and fluidization, Track 3.
Powder testing and characterization, Track 4. Particle
design and manufacturing, Track 5. Compaction andtableting, Track 6. Thermomechanical behaviour ofgranular materials, Track 7. Agglomeration andGranulation, Track 8. Dust and aerosol emissions,
Track 9. Particle deformation, Track 10. Wear andattrition. Each track had 1 to 3 sessions with 3 to 5
presentations. In my research field, there was anexciting presentation on evaluation and modellingcohesive powder flow for the understanding ofindustrial powder handling processing.
The next CHoPS will be held in a European
country in 2025. The international committee member
will decide the place in the committee’s meeting in thenear future. I was the only participant from Japan at theconference and I look forward to seeing many of you
there.

The 11th International Conference on Multiphase Flow will be held in Kobe, Japan from April 2-7, 2023 at Kobe
International Conference Center. The 1st ICMF was held in Tsukuba, Japan in 1991 and then the 2nd was again in Japan,
Kyoto in 1995. Since then, ICMF has been governed by the ICMF Governing Board, and has been held every three years
in the three geographical regions in the order of Europe, America and Asia-Oceania. ICMF has been playing a very important role in multiphase flow R & D communities as the world’s largest conference on multiphase flow. ICMF will
provide you with state-of-the-art knowledge on all the aspects of multiphase flow, a good chance of deepening a friendshipand research collaboration, and new beginnings as well!
