Professor Geoffrey Frederick Hewitt
1934 -2019
Yelena Shafeyeva
President of Begell House, Inc. Publishers, USA

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Geoff Hewitt passed away peacefully on January 18, 2019.
Professor Hewitt dedicated over 60 years to research, teaching and made significant contributions to thefields of multiphase flow and heat transfer by pioneering and developing the foundations for multiphaseflow systems, particularly referencing to channel flow and heat transfer. Those follow a wide range ofapplications from nuclear reactors to process heat exchange, from hydrocarbon recovery to multiphaseflow metering.
Geoff received his PhD from Manchester University in 1957. Later that same year, he joined the UK
Atomic Energy Authority at Harwell Laboratory. In 1968, he founded Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Service (HTFS) and, in 1976, was appointed Division Head at UKAEA.
His academic carrier began in 1985 in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College
London, where he took a part-time position as a professor. By 1996, he became a full-time professor andfounded the Imperial-led Transient Multiphase Flows (TMF) program.
Geoff was actively engaged in international heat transfer and multiphase flow communities, and for his
contributions, was recognized and honored as:• Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1985
• Fellow of the Royal Society in 1989
• Foreign Associate of the US National Academy of Engineering in 1998
• President of ICHMT, 2007-2010
He received many international awards: the Donald Q. Kern Award (AIChE), the Max Jakob Memorial
Award (ASME), the Luikov Medal (ICHMT), the Nusselt-Reynolds Prize (ExHFT), the 2007 ICMF
Senior Multiphase Flow Award, the Imperial College Medal, the MM Sharma Medal (IChemE), and the
Global Energy Prize at the World Economic Forum.
He participated in many conferences, delivered lectures around the world and worked closely in consulting
for industrial outlets. He published over 500 papers and reports, numerous books and edited many book series. He is the founding editor of the Heat Exchanger Design Handbook, HEDH, (now HEDH Multimedia),
The Encyclopedia of Heat and Mass Transfer, (now Thermopedia) and Journal of Multiphase Science andTechnology, MST, now under editorial leadership of the Japanese Society of Multiphase Flow.
Geoff has graduated over 50 PhD students; he made many friends and allies around the world and was
beloved by all. In his honor, Geoff’s family and friends have created the Professor Geoff Hewitt Student Hardship Fund through which his original gift has now been given to students; we aim to follow
his lead and continue his legacy by creating a fund to support students in financial hardship. The fund ismanaged by Imperial College and we hope you will join us in supporting the fund by making a gift at:
www.imperial.ac.uk/giving/donate/professor-hewitt.
Geoff will be greatly missed, as his colleague and co-editor Dr. Dusan P. Sekulic wrote:“The heat transfer community lost a legend. His guidance, professional and personal ethics and uncompromising rigor will live through an impact that this great man has directed toward all of us.”8

The long-term vision of the American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE) is to be a leadingorganization that brings thermal and fluids engineers together to exchange ideas and present results for
an impact on new, emerging, and challenging problems in research and technology. ASTFE is focused oninternational collaborations, strong interactions with industry, and providing a dynamic atmosphere foryoung and upcoming researchers and engineers in this field. It continues to be an agile organization thatis focused on the grand challenges in thermal and fluids engineering. While there is particular interest in
new and emerging applications, traditional research topics are included. The society is driven largely by
the members and their interests, rather than by the management, and strong efforts are made to link withindustrial needs in these areas.
Several international conferences have been organized by ASTFE in the March-April time frame. The firstmeeting was held in New York City in 2015, with over 300 participants. This was followed by conferencesin Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2017 and in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2018, each drawing over 400 participants. A substantial portion of the presentations came from abroad and a significant industrial presence wasobserved. In all of these conferences, TEC (Technology Entrepreneurship Communication) talks focusedon innovation, entrepreneurship, and communication. The conference this year will be held in Las Vegas
during April 14-17, 2019. Again, about 400 participants are expected to present contributed, keynote, plenary, and invited talks. Several panels will also discuss topics of current and future interest.
ASTFE has established a Fellow rank for the members to recognize individual achievements in the field.
A Thermal and Fluids Engineering Award has also been established to recognize substantial contributions tothermal and fluids engineering. Both of these are part of the honors bestowed by the society on its members
for their contributions. Best paper awards are also presented at the conferences.
The society, together with the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Korea Society of Mechanical Engineers, plan to have a joint conference, known as the Pacific Rim Conference, every 4 years.
The first meeting was held in 2016; the second one will be held in Maui, Hawaii, in December 2019. Similarly,
ASTFE collaborates with the Indian Society of Heat and Mass Transfer to organize a joint conference inIndia every 2 years. The first conferences were held in January 2016 and in December 2017. The third one
will be held in December 2019. A strong participation of about 800 attendees has been obtained at these conferences. ASTFE has also collaborated with other international and national societies and has co-sponsoredconferences around the world.
The presentations at these conferences are included in the Begell House digital library; selected articles havebeen published in special issues of archival journals. Several Begell House journals are affiliated with theSociety and authors are encouraged to submit their articles to these journals. Special courses and workshops
have also been sponsored by ASTFE. One such workshop on multiphase flow has been offered twice andhas been very successful.
The Society is interested in expanding its reach and enhancing its impact through greater international collaborations, additional workshops, special courses, and greater interaction with industry. Interested students,
educators, engineers, and researchers are urged to become members. The annual membership fees are nominal, but it allows ASTFE to inform the members about future conferences, workshops, courses, and otheritems of interest to the community. It also allows the members to seek advancement to the Fellow level.
