The 7th International Symposium on Fluid Control, Measurement and Visualization (FLUCOME’03)
was the latest in the well established series of
FLUCOME International Symposia. The first
FLUCOME conference was held in Japan in 1985. Since
then, it has been held every three years at various placesin the world including: Sheffield (United Kingdom), San
Francisco (USA), Toulouse (France), Hayama (Japan)
and finally Sherbrooke (Canada). The objective of the
Symposium is to provide a forum for communicationand information exchange in the broad field of fundamental aspects of fluid flow.
The Symposium was organized by the Universityof Napoli Federico II. The University of Napoli dates
back to the year 1224, when Federico II of Swabia, heirof both the Roman-German Empire and the Kingdomof Sicily, decided to create an institution whose main
aim was to build up a strong and skilful team of experts

to assist in ruling over his huge empire which included
Southern and Northern Italy, Switzerland, Austria,
Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Eastern and Southern France.
Federico II, named marvel of the world because of
his wide knowledge and broad interests, was multilingual from childhood, understanding Latin, Greek, Italian and Sicilian dialects, German, Arab and Hebrew; he
was a very clever and stubborn emperor, but also a
poet, an amateur philosopher, interested in astrology,
geography and science.
FLUCOME’03 was held in Sorrento, Italy, fromthe 25th to the 28th of August 2003. The 7th Symposium attracted, by far, one of the largest number ofparticipants in the history of the meeting. More than
300 scientists, coming from the five continents andspecifically from about 30 countries all over the world,
plus over 70 accompanying persons, attended the Symposium. The majority of the participants came fromJapan, Italy, United Kingdom, United States ofAmerica, Korea, Germany and France.
The success of the Symposium has to be mainly
ascribed to the patient work of the members of theInternational Steering Committee which included many
distinguished scientists in the broad field of fluid flow.
This is the best opportunity to thank all of them once
again.
The popularity of the meeting is a true reflection of
the growing importance of fluid flow research and of
the ability of its practitioners, as demonstrated by the
CD ROM Proceedings (ISBN 0 9533991 4 1) which
was edited by me and Prof. Ian Grant of Heriot-Watt
University. The Proceedings took full advantage of thepowerful electronic image capture and manipulation
tools which have lately become available and are now
central in the work of many scientists.
In the CD ROM Proceedings, an editorial step forward by using new developments in electronic publishing was taken to give authors the opportunity to present
their work in full colour and to include some moving
images. Since the fluid flow speciality largely embodies
visual observation of dynamic processes, the digital
images, gave the opportunity to convey an immediate
impression both of the science and the excitement, experienced by the researchers in their individual
endeavours. The CD publication clearly illustrated boththe high quality of the submission and the blurred position between art and science which the fluid flow research holds.
The use of the electronic communication and media
for conference paper submission and program development also allowed for a high level of dialogue between
participants and editors making possible, for the resulting proceedings, a degree of homogeneity in paper
appearance which normally would be attainable only ina journal environment.
The 237 papers, from many of the world’s leading
laboratories, which are contained in the CD ROM, areindexed and the full text is searchable for keywords oraccording to the Symposium Program. An archive copyof the CD is lodged in the National Library of Scotland.
Anyone interested in obtaining a copy of the CD ROM
Proceedings of FLUCOME’03 may contact:

The Symposium actually commenced on Sundaynight, August 24, with a warm Welcome Reception,
which was held in the Hilton Sorrento Palace Hotel
where all the participants had the chance to meet old
friends and/or to make new acquaintances.
The Opening Ceremony was held on Monday, August 25, early in the morning, with a hearty welcome
from the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering of the
University of Naples Federico II, Prof. Vincenzo Naso,
who conveyed also the greetings of the Rector of the
University.
At the beginning of each working day, a speaker,
selected among renowned specialists in different fieldsof fluid flow, delivered an authoritative lecture in Plenary Session. Prof. Wolfgang Merzkirch of Universityof Essen discussed Fluid Mechanical Problems in Flow
Metering, Prof. Ching-Jen Chen of Florida A & M University described Some Aspects of Nanotechnology,
Microtechnology and Biomedical Applications, Dr.
Antonello Cogotti of Pininfarina Industries treated From
Steady-State to Unsteady Aerodynamics andAeroacoustics. The Evolution of the Testing Environment in the Pininfarina Wind Tunnel while Prof. Ben T.
Zinn of Georgia Institute of Technology reported on
The Real Time Control of the Lean Blow Out Limit in
Pre-Mixed Combustors for Reduced NOx Emissions.
On the last day, Prof. A. Tamir of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev entertained the audience by considering The Interaction Between Art & Science: From Mona
Lisa to Einstein.
Prof. W. Merzkirch addressed two major problems
in flow metering, the first one concerning the generationof the signals that are processed to obtain the values ofthe volumetric flow rate and the second one regarding
the performance of a flow meter in a not-fully developed flow. Two examples were discussed in detail.
Prof. C. J. Chen described some aspects of the development in micro systems using magnetic nano particles to detect biological components for medical andclinical use. The magnetic nano particles were encapsulated in a specific protein that mixed in the fluid solution. The advances in micro devices such as micropumps was also treated.
Dr. A. Cogotti reported on the continuous development of the testing environment in the Pininfarina windtunnel which allows investigations on full scale car
models. He treated the problems of having a rollingroad under the car, of decreasing the overall tunnel noise
so as to perform acoustic measurements and of reproducing the real on-road conditions including a controlledlevel of turbulence.
Prof. B. T. Zinn discussed an active control sys--2-

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.22 (2004) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flowtem, to detect lean blow-out precursors and to stabilize
the combustor behaviour while maintaining low NOx
emissions, based on optical and acoustic measurements.
The control redistributes the fuel between the main
premixed flow and a pilot injector and can accomodate
also variations in flow conditions.
The fifty two Technical Sessions held during the
Symposium covered the following topics: Aerodynamics, Bioengineering, CFD Applications, CFD Methods,
Combustion, Compressible Flows, Cylinder Flows, Flow
Control, Flow Measurements, Flow Metering, Flow Visualization, Fluidics, Heat Transfer in External Flows,
Heat Transfer in Internal Flows, Hydraulics, Jets, Machine Flows, Micro Flows, Mixed Convection, Natural
Convection, Optical Methods, Particle Image
Velocimetry, Pneumatic Components, Pneumatics, Separated Flows, Synthetic Jets, Tunnel Testing, Turbulence,
Two Phase Flows, Unsteady Aerodynamics.
Finally, on Friday August 29, many participants
spent a delightful day cruising in the bays of Naples
and Salerno. The yacht departed from Sorrento harbour
and, amongst other things, made stops at Faraglioni
rocks of Capri, “li Galli” islands and Positano. A“marinara Neapolitan lunch” was served on board.
During its Sorrento assembly, the FLUCOME International Steering Committee decided that, from now
on, the Symposium will occur on a biennial basis (i.e.
every two years and not every three as it was before)
and that the 8th International Symposium will takeplace in Chengdu, China, from the 22nd to the 25th ofAugust 2005. Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province which is the home to giant panda and 85% of theseanimals are found in the habitat of the northwest mountains of this region.
The Symposium Chairman is Prof. Qing-Ding Wei
of Peking University who is already actively working
to repeat, if not to improve, the success of Sorrento’s

meeting. Further information is available by contacting
qdwei@pku.edu.cn.
Therefore, let me say to all the participants in the
7th Symposium: Arrivederci in Chengdu on 2005 forthe 8th FLUCOME Symposium.
