Recipient of the 2012
Luikov Medal

Nobuhide KasagiProfessor Emeritus, The University of Tokyo
Principal Fellow, Japan Science and Technology Agency

Dr. Kasagi has been a faculty member at the University of Tokyo since he received
PhD in mechanical engineering in 1976. He has made fundamental and appliedresearch on fluid mechanics and heat transfer with his unique synergetic experimental
and computational methodology. In his early work on turbulent heat transfer, hevisualized for the first time the thermal streaky pattern, and later developed a 3-Dparticle tracking technique and a direct numerical simulation method. These new tools
enabled him to discover coherent turbulence motions and establish the data bases ofvarious turbulent transport phenomena, which have been used as a standard
benchmark by himself and many other workers in the world. He pioneering work was
further extended to smart control of turbulent transport, two-phase flows withparticles/bubbles/cells, micro-scale thermal and fluid systems. He has also conductednational projects on gas turbines, solid oxide fuel cells, micro heat exchangers, andsmall-scale distributed energy systems.
He has actively devoted himself to various professional services such as an organizerof many international conferences and an editorial member for several international
journals, e.g., Editor-in-Chief of the Int. J. Heat & Fluid Flow from 1993-2012. He has
been recognized by many awards and honors such as the William Begell Medal, theAurel Stodola Medal, and Fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, theRoyal Academy of Engineering, the Engineering Academy of Japan, the ASME, andthe JSME.
The Luikov Medal is awarded by the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer(ICHMT) to one individual every two years for outstanding contributions to the science and art ofheat and mass transfer and for activities in international scientific cooperation in conjunction withICHMT programs. The award is dedicated to Aleksey Vasilievich Luikov, a renowned Russian
pioneer in the field of heat transfer.

Recipient of the Nukiyama
Memorial Award 2014

Gang Chen
Carl Richard Soderberg Professor of Power Engineering
Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Dr. Gang Chen is the Carl Richard Soderberg Professor of Power Engineering andHead of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology (MIT). He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Huazhong Universityof Science and Technology (HUST), China, in 1984 and 1987, respectively. Heobtained his Ph.D. degree from Mechanical Engineering Department, UC Berkeley, in1993 under the supervision of the Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien. He was the first holderof the Warren and Towneley Rohsenow Professorship at MIT (2006-2009).
Dr. Chen’s research interests center on nanoscale transport and energy conversion
phenomena, and their applications in energy storage and conversion, and thermalmanagement. He has made seminal contributions to the understanding of reduced
thermal conductivity in nanostructures structures such as quantum wells andsuperlattices via both modelling and experimental studies. He and his collaborators
exploited the unique nanoscale heat conduction physics to advance the field of
thermoelectric materials and their applications in solar thermal and waste heatrecovery. His group also developed strategies to engineer nanostructures to achieve
high thermal conductivities, including the development and demonstration thatpolymer nanofibers can be more thermally conductive than most metals, and additives
to liquids which significantly improve their thermal conductivity.

The Nukiyama Memorial Award has been established by the Heat Transfer Society of Japan in2012 to commemorate the land-mark contributions by Shiro Nukiyama as an outstanding heattransfer scientist. Nukiyama addressed the challenges of the boiling phenomena and publishedan epoch-making paper, well known as the Nukiyama curve (boiling curve). The Nukiyama
Memorial Award shall be bestowed to a scientist, preferably under 50 years of age, every twoyears in the field of Thermal Science and Engineering.

Koto— Japanese Traditional Music —Music, as a universal language of thehuman spirit, has nourished the inner lifeof people around the world sinceprehistoric times. Tonight, we are proudto present traditional Japanese kotomusic. The koto, said to have been
invented in China and introduced toJapan about 1200 years ago, has 13strings, each supported by a moveablebridge. The strings are plucked with the right hand, using three finger-mounted picks,
while the left hand subtly adjusts the position of the bridges for tuning, and alters pitch
by applying pressure to certain strings. Tonight’s Ikuta School performers are Master
KAWAMOTO Yoshiko, and Associate Masters HAYASHI Rikako and KAWAMOTO
Noriko. We hope you will enjoy the soothing yet dramatic sounds of classical kotomusic played by these outstanding performers.

Program
1. Rokudan-no-Shirabe

Yatsuhashi Kengyo(1614–1685)

Rokudan-no-Shirabe, "Melody in Six Sections," may be the most famous Japaneseclassical composition for koto. The score is written in six sections, each with 52 bars
in 2/2 time (except for the first column that has 54 bars). The tempo in each section
starts slowly, increases to a climax, then returns to the original tempo at the end. This
deceptively simple music has great depth when played masterfully.

2. Hana-to-Shoujo

Nomura Seiho(1927–2011)

Hana-to-Shoujo, "Flowers and a Girl," by Seiho Nomura, was originally scored for
koto and shakuhachi (Japanese end-blown flute). Mr. Nomura’s compositions
express traditional Japanese music styles and lyricism. This piece has a poignant
wistfulness, supported by a reservoir of inner strength.

3. Hokkai Minyo-cho

Miyagi Michiyo(1894–1956)

Hokkai Minyo-cho, "Melodies from Hokkaido Folksongs," was inspired by two
well-loved folksongs of Northern Japan, Soran Bushi and Esashi Oiwake. The
melodies are rhythmical and the mood is optimistic.

4. Godan-Kinuta

Mitsuzaki Kengyo(unk. c.1853)

Godan-Kinuta, "Melody of Kinuta in Five Sections," expresses the rhythmical soundsof kinuta, the fulling blocks upon which new cloth is beaten when produced by hand.
The interplay of the high and low pitched sounds of the kotos and the complex
rhythms give parts of this piece unusual energy and drive.

Hira-jyoushi— Japanese Pentatonic Scale —The 13-string koto is usually tuned in the hira-jyoushi pentatonic
scale, five notes per octave, as if C and F were removed from thewestern key of G minor, as shown at the right. Koto music scores
are a type of solfège notation; notes are represented by Chinesecharacters that indicate which string the player should sound.
