Dear Participants and Colleagues,
We would like to let you know that a dedicated website for the IHTC-15 plenary
panel is now online:
http://www.ihtc-15.org/IHTC-15-plenary-panel.shtml
The late Prof. Nobuhide Kasagi was the panel Moderator. Unfortunately, after
completing the panel session on August 14, 2014, he began receiving continuous
medical care, and passed away on July 29, 2015.
We edited his last work, as shown on the website, which presents the main topics
discussed as well as important information that Panelists and Attendees provided
during the session. Please explore the links to panelists’ slides and presentations,
important messages, and the vigorous discussions from the floor. A video of theentire panel session is also available. We have arranged postscripts for a short
introduction to the panel session, and a diagram showing the relationships among
the panelists’ messages and floor discussions so you can get a quick overview.
We are very grateful to Prof. Kasagi for his outstanding contributions, and hopethat this marks a significant milestone for the society of thermal science andengineering going forward.
Yours sincerely,
Hideo Yoshida, Hiroshi Iwai and Kazuya Tatsumi
IHTC-15 Executive Committee, Kyoto, Japan
