 Eurotherm Seminar No. 114 - Nanoscale and Microscale Heat Transfer VII
The Eurothem Seminar No. 114 was the Nanoscale and Microscale Heat Transfer VII conference. It
was held in Palermo (Italy), from 29th May to 3rd June, 2022, as a purely on-site event. It was theseventh event of a series of successful conferences taking place every two years, the last one being
held in 2018 (the 2020 edition did not take place because of the Covid crisis) in Levi (Finland). The
organizing committee was constituted by Riccardo Messina and Philippe Ben-Abdallah from theLaboratoire Charles Fabry, CNRS, Palaiseau, France, Svend-Age Biehs from Carl von Ossietzky
Universität, Oldenburg, Germany and F. Xavier Alvarez from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona,
Spain. The conference has welcomed 8 invited presentations in the form of 4 pedagogic tutorial talks(D. Donadio, F. Giazotto, P. Hänggi and C. Henkel), 4 keynote presentations (S. Fan, B. Gotsmann,
M. Martín-González and B. Li), and contributed (both oral and poster) presentations. Morespecifically, 49 oral presentations have been delivered, divided in the following thematic sections:
Near-field radiative heat transfer and TPV conversion devices, numerical methods in conduction,interface phenomena, scanning thermal microscopy, conduction, cooling, energy-conversion andthermal devices, heat transport at atomic and molecular scale, thin film and 2D materials, far-fieldradiation. 44 poster presentations have been on display during the entire duration of the conference.
This, in conjunction with a poster session, has allowed to foster discussion and scientific exchange
between all participants.
Four years after the previous edition of the same conference, this event has been indeed a great
occasion to gather and discuss both fundamental and more applicative topics on heat transfer and themicro- and nano-scale. One of the main aims of this conference, namely to reinforce the bond between
the phononic and photonic communities, has been indeed met during the event. It has been possible
to discuss and explore all open problems and challenges in the topic of nanoscale and microscale heattransfer, and the next edition (2024) of the conference has been scheduled to be organized inBarcelona, Spain.

Scope and Background of Conference
Heat transfer, a major academic discipline originating from seminal studies of thermal nonequilibrium phenomena, has grown to include the science of transport phenomena for ions, electrons,
and chemical species. Thus it deals with essential fundamentals such as energy, materials, food andwater, and also with a range of technologies that support modern lifestyles. Heat transfer is now avitally important field, as scientists and engineers face difficult challenges: the SARS-COV-2
pandemic diffusion, development of cutting-edge technologies for highly efficient energy systems,
massive information/communication equipment, high-value-added manufacturing, and comfortableliving environments, to name but a few. Due to its enormous scope and impact, heat transfer is often
called “thermal science.”
The International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC), nicknamed the “Heat Transfer Olympics,” is theworld’s premier conference for scientists and engineers in the heat and mass transfer researchcommunity, who convene every four years to exchange the latest information. Previous conferences
have greatly enhanced mutual exchanges of knowledge and experience, and nurtured new and/orinterdisciplinary research areas. Future conferences should realize an increasingly important mission:
to foster international cooperation and facilitate the exchange of ideas among colleagues in order tosolve urgent problems and improve peoples’ lives in the years ahead.
To pursue these aims, we invite forward-looking scientists, engineers, and researchers from all over
the world to attend IHTC-17. In addition to exploring traditional research areas, IHTC-17 also asks
an important question (asked already at IHTC-15) so that we may better serve society : “What is therole of thermal science in meeting societal challenges?” Clearly, we face major issues such as
ensuring sustainable development, healthy ageing, sufficient food for all, and economic growth, andwe need to develop scientific and technological solutions. To do this, we should shape our current
and future roles more concretely, and start to formulate an interdisciplinary framework forcollaboration among colleagues active across a wider range of physical, life, and information sciences.
Paper Submission
Abstracts for IHTC-17 should be submitted on-line via the IHTC-17 web page. They will initially bereviewed by the regional International Scientific Committee (ISC) members. Once an abstract has
been accepted, the full-length manuscript will be requested by the due date. The full-length
manuscripts will then be reviewed by reviewers assigned by the regional ISC members. A copyrighttransfer form must be submitted with the final manuscript. All papers will be presented in a poster
paper format venue with a short oral presentation. Approximately 50 keynote papers will be presented
as oral papers. Each accepted manuscript (also keynote papers) must have at least one paid registeredauthor before a paper can be presented and be published in the conference proceedings. The
registration fees are published on the conference website, and it should be noted that the fees for faceto-face participation and online participation, when applicable, will be the same.

The Australasian Heat and Mass Transfer Conference (AHMTC) is typically a bi-annual
research forum in Australia and New Zealand organised under the auspices of the Australasian Fluid andThermal Engineering Society (AFTES) for disseminating new knowledge to the Heat and Mass Transfer
research community. This conference series covers both fundamental and applied topics in the broad areas ofconvection, conduction, radiation, turbulence, multi-phase flow, combustion, drying, heat exchangers,
computational methods, experimental methods, and other significant thermal processes in environmental andindustrial settings.
The 12th Australasian Heat and Mass Transfer Conference (12AHMTC, https://12ahmtc-eng.sydney.edu.au/) was
initially planned for July 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in Sydney, it was postponed to2022. Thanks to the improved pandemic situation in Australia and globally, the 12AHMTC was successfully
held in person on 30 June – 1 July 2022 at The University of Sydney, New South Wales. For many of theparticipants, the 12AHMTC was the first in-person conference for more than two years. The 12AHMTC
attracted significant interest from researchers and research students. In total 80+ abstracts and 60+ full papers
were received. Among them, 42 papers were accepted for presentation over the two-day conference. In addition,
there were 4 keynote and invited lectures given by high-calibre researchers including Prof Atsuki Komiya (Tohoku University), Possibility of Mass Diffusion Control: Effect of Pore Sizeof Separated Membrane Prof Gary Rosengarten (RMIT University), When Surfaces Matter: Using Nano-scaled Surface
Features to Control Macro-scale Transport Prof Emilie Sauret (Queensland University of Technology), Hybrid Lattice Boltzmann Method for
Viscoelastic Fluid Flow Instabilities and Elastic Turbulence Dr Nicholas Williamson (The University of Sydney), Turbulent Vertical Natural Convection Boundary
Layers – Insights Gained from DNS up to Grd = 1.8×108
The 12AHMTC was attended by over 50 participants. A significant number of the participants were research
students. The conference presented two Best Student Presentation Awards, judged by an Award Committee.
The winners of the Best Student Presentation Awards at the 12AHMTC are Ms Sneha Murali, Monash University
 Mr Bihai Sun, Monash University
The success of the 12AHMTC is a result of the combined efforts of the many involved. Primarily I wish toacknowledge the deep commitment from the Local Organising Committee members: Professors Steven
Armfield and John Patterson, Associate Professor Michael Kirkpatrick, Dr Kapil Chauhan, Associate Professor
Victoria Timchenko and Professor Guan Yeoh. I also gratefully acknowledge the participation by the keynote
and invited speakers and thank them for their outstanding presentations, and further extend my thanks to all
the other authors who presented their work, without whom we would not have the conference.
The next AHMTC conference (13AHMTC) will be hosted by Curtin University in 2025.

Junichiro Shiomi, Dept. of Mech. Eng., The University of Tokyo
shiomi@photon.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp http://www.phonon.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/?lang=en
The pandemic took a heavy toll on the world, forcing us to change the way we work, learn, andinteract with others. It has been difficult time for the international academic community as well,as many of our scheduled events had to be cancelled or postponed. While there was disappointment
and confusion, especially in the initial phase of the pandemic, it was encouraging to see that the academic societies
immediately rose to the occasion and organized international conferences online, not only as an alternative to onsite but also to add values to the conferences with the help of digital transformation (DX). Such was the case with
the international heat transfer community. Some of the online conferences I attended might have been difficult toachieve prior to DX. One example was “International Colloquia on Thermal Innovations (InnoTherm)” series(http://meche.mit.edu/international-colloquia-thermal-innovations) organized by the colleagues at MIT (chairedby Prof. Gang Chen) aiming to stimulate and highlight innovations and advances in thermal energy conversion,storage, transport, and utilization. I had a pleasure to moderate a couple of sessions and was thrilled to see hundredsof participants from around the world vividly discussing across different disciplines.
Learning the usefulness of DX to discuss new interdisciplinary topics, Prof. Chris Dames (UC Berkeley), Prof.
Tengfei Luo (University of Notre Dame), Prof. Koji Tsuda (University of Tokyo), and I organized “NSF-JST Joint
Workshop on Thermal Transport, Materials Informatics and Quantum Computing” (https://aithermworkshop.nd.
edu) in March 2021. The workshop aimed to initiate conversations between the greater machine learning,materials informatics, quantum computing community and the thermal transport community to promoteinternational collaboration initiatives. Over the past few decades, research in thermal transport has led to significant
advancement in the understanding of fundamental physics and computational tools that can predict thermal
properties with high fidelity. However, applying such established knowledge and tools to design new materials forrelevant applications had been rather ad-hoc. With the recent prosperity of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum
computing, there is an opportunity to leverage them to further advance thermal transport fundamental science andmaximize the ability to systematically develop thermal materials and processes with desirable performance. With
this in mind, we invited speakers on four topics: data infrastructure; simulation-aided materials informatics andthermal transport; AI-driven experiments; and quantum computing. The dialogue between researchers within andbetween each topic was very productive. Constructive discussions were also held with other stakeholders such as
governments and funding agencies. The workshop output several important action plans, including acomputational round-robin study, thermal transport property database, and international autonomous
experimentation, which initiated the on-going world-wide collaborations including researchers from Europe andChina. Such a simultaneous multi-stakeholder dialogue would have been difficult without the DX.
Of course, online events have their drawbacks. Time zones have been a major issue, especially for international
conferences. Many of us have given or heard a talk in the middle of the night fighting sleepiness. Recently, there
have been hybrid conferences, where the on-site and online events are held on different days, but in such cases,
the online portion is usually rather empty. Now that, in many places, the on-site events are restarting, we are rerecognizing how precious it is to meet and discuss in person. In fact, we had so much fun in the recent National
Heat Transfer Symposium of Japan held on-site (reported on the next page)!
While I very much look forward to the resumption of international heat transfer conferences on-site, an
important question may be “Are we going back to where we were before the pandemic?” or “Are there ways toimprove on-site international conferences utilizing DX?” The world is now facing a sustainability crisis and there
are growing expectations for academia to help solve it. Not to mention, the potential contribution from the field ofheat transfer is significant, and the issues need to be tackled internationally. Such social demands have been always
there, but the urgency is more than ever with critical timelines, which calls for efficient international collaboration
rather than competition. That requires more in-depth discussion in the international conferences, but how do we

13

Thermal No. 5 September 1, 2022
do it? One idea is a “flip conference”. Like the “flip class”, DX schemes could be used to provide participants withdigital contents of presentation in advance so that they can spend more time for discussion on site. This can help
the participants understand better each other’s work and facilitate actual collaboration. Perhaps now is a goodtiming to think about transforming international conferences?
2. Report on 59th national heat transfer symposium of Japan (NHTSJ 2022)
Yoshinori Itaya Dept. of Mech. Eng., Gifu Univ., yitaya@gifu-u.ac.jp
Hirofumi Hattori Dept. of Mech. Eng., Nagoya Inst. of Tech., hattori@nitech.ac.jp
NHTSJ 2022 (https://htsj-conf.org/symp2022/index_e.html) took place in face-toface and on-line virtual ways during May 18 to 20, 2022 in Gifu (Tokai district).
Totally 338 papers were presented including 9 keynotes through 30 sessions in the symposium. The share of
number of the presentation in each session is seen in Fig. 2.1. The Best Presentation Award Session is a poster
session presented by young researchers and students, and 6 candidates were awarded. The awarded researches
were 1) 3D analysis of heat transfer in human body core, 2) molecular structure and affinity at inorganic
solid/polymer interface, 3) heat transfer of latent heat storage pellets for high temperature, 4) solid-solution photon
upconversion crystal for improving solar energy utilization efficiency, 5) spin caloritronics by sensitive lock-in
thermoreflectance of thermochromic liquid crystal, and 6) visualization of heat transport in oscillating heat pipesby neutron radiography. The top 3 sessions in which there were the most presentations were “hydrogen, fuel cell,secondary battery”, “boiling and condensation” and “understanding and control of droplet/wetting phenomena”.
The trends reflect recent needs to innovative R&D on greatly efficient energy conversion and conservation
technologies for establishing carbon neutral system. Additionally, heat and mass transfer phenomena are faced tocomplicated systems including multiphase flow, phase change, catalytic and non-catalytic reactions,electrochemistry, electromagnetic, vibration, nano-scale dynamics etc. In the session “workshop on HTSJ
promoted research”, the research activities of groups admitted in HTSJ were reported on the following topics inthis year: 1) heat transfer using microsensors and/or devices, 2) heat and physical environment in bio-cells, 3) heattransfer for solar energy utilization and 4) turbulence heat transfer, combustion and pioneer of complex fluid for
future energy system. Those researches are expected to be greatly promoted and progress under funding for an
innovation of heat transfer in a near future. The session of “introduction of component and technology development
by companies in Tokai district” opened under the organization by researcher/engineers in industrial sector. Tokai
district is one of the largest industrial area in Japan, and several fields of industry, i.e. automobile, machinery, steel,chemical, petrochemical, energy, ceramics, aerospace etc. are concentrated and yield the greatest percentage ofJapanese GDP. Four local companies introduced their technology on 1) low density silicon thermal interface
material, 2) thermal design of printing products and electronic parts, 3) compact and light heat exchanger forvehicles and products working with low power, 4) application of 1DCAE into thermal design. In this symposium,

The main objective of the Society of Thermal Engineers of Yugoslavia (founded in 1962, today The Societyof Thermal Engineers of Serbia https://www.drustvo-termicara.com/) was/is to establish/promote better
cooperation and exchange of the fundamental/applied knowledge in the field of heat and mass transfer between
research/educational institutions and industry in the country, region and the world through International
Conferences and Journal. The realization of these tasks in the period 1968-1993 was performed by editing
Journal TERMOTEHNIKA (in Serbian, since 1975) and the most important by initiating organization of theInternational Center for Heat and Mass Transfer with Head office in The Institute of Nuclear Sciences“VINČA”, leaded by Professor Zoran Zarić as general secretary (1968-1985) and Professor Naim Afgan as
scientific secretary (1968-1985) and general secretary (1985-1993). The list of 47 international scientificevents/meetings/ organized by ICHMT in that period and Proceedings can be found at
http://thermalscience.vinca.rs/pdfs/papers-2020/TSCI200628265S.pdf.

Due to international sanctions against Yugoslavia since May 1992 (until 2001), and induced problems
for the scientific research institutions, Prof Simeon Oka, based on long term international cooperationof the Laboratory for Thermal Engineering and Energy with a number of worlds’ reputed Institutes
and Universities, had initiated and started since 1997 to edit international journal Thermal Science
with scientific papers from relevant international community. Despite numerous difficulties andbarriers, Editorial Board lead by Prof Simeon Oka, supported also by International Advisory Board(26 reputed scientists from Sweden, Denmark, Canada, Russia, Netherland, Estonia, Belarus,
Germany, North Macedonia, USA, Japan, Italy, and United Kingdom), had succeeded to pass a longway, and create excellent Open Access International Scientific Journal with a brand name
THERMAL SCIENCE.
Initial scope of the Journal in the areas: (a) fluid mechanics (primarily, turbulent flows), heat andmass transfer, combustion and chemical processes, (b) multiphase and multicomponent flows, (c)high temperature flows with chemical reactions, (d) processes in fluidized systems, (e) renewableenergy sources, (f) energy efficiency and sustainable development and (g) thermal processes, taking
place in conventional and modern technologies, was lately was lately widened on previously
unknown systems - cooling of electronic devices, flows and heat transfer in micro canals, flows andheat transfer of nanofluids, the production of micro and nanofibers, and processes in the atmosphererelated to the climate change. THERMAL SCIENCE in recent years, included new scientific areas inwhich the number of papers is constantly growing, and which have been initially opened in
Supplements and Special Issues:o Nanofluids, processes in them and their use in new technologies,
o Processes during the formation and production of nanofibers,o Physical models of fluid flow and thermal processes by using fractal mathematics,

Thermal No. 5 September 1, 2022
o Fractal mathematics and application of fractal methods in solving equations
describing fluid flows and in thermal processes,o Processes in the atmosphere and origins of the climate change.
Starting from 2009, when THERMAL SCIENCE received its first Impact Factor and was included
on the Web of Science, the authors' interest in publishing papers in the journal has been growing
rapidly from 80 to 500 per year (Table 1). According to the values of the Impact Factor, THERMALSCIENCE is in the top 50% journals in its field. The most famous databases: Web of Science,
SCOPUS, EBSCO, ProQuest, DOAJ, CNKI and COPERNICUS, announce data on papers publishedin THERMAL SCIENCE.
