M.C. Roco* Multiphase flow has grown as an interdisciplinary area in science, engineering and technology in the second part of this century. Its methods of investigation have been proposed by various research groups from physics, engineering, medicine, agriculture, mathematics, astronomy and other disciplines. Specific technologies have been developed in processing industries, materials synthesis, bioengineering, mining, nuclear power, propulsion, coal conversion and other areas. Most of these activities are still fragmented, with noticeable differences, from nomenclature to the generic research goals. Multiphase flow usually includes dynamics of systems of particles, bubbles and droplets in fluids. However, numerous other topics such as melting and solidification, filtration, boiling, and geotechnical phenomena, use the methods and technology of multiphase flow. A focused activity to channel the pertinent information and improve interactions between various disciplinary groups has become necessary. For this purpose, the Information Center for Multiphase Flow (ICMF) has been established under the auspices of the Japan Society of Multiphase Flow (JSMF), with international participation. The Center aims to streamline and enhance the information obtained from various sources in academia, industry and government, from different disciplines and countries, to the participating subscribers. This would support the growth of the field as a whole, help develop interdisciplinary research and international collaboration. By considering the current variety of topics, separation on disciplines and subgroups, and the need for collaboration in the field, the Center should be welcomed by all researchers and practitioners. It may play a synergistic role in promoting the science and technology of multiphase flow. Interdisciplinary The idea of this Center has germinated for some time.  activities of various professional societies in the U.S., Europe and Japan, and particularly the First International Conference on Multiphase Flow in Tsukuba in 1991, have increased the awareness in this regard. The offer of the JSMF committee to administer the Center, in collaboration with correspondents from other countries, has been essential and generous. The importance of interdisciplinary and international collaboration has increased in recent years. A larger proportion of the new discoveries takes place at the interface between disciplines. International interactions has become an integral part of the research activity because of the globalization of science and engineering, higher cost of research (see nuclear magnetic resonance or neutron scattering facilities for multiphase flow visualization), improved communication (including fax and electronic mail), and convergence of the scientific and technical capabilities of the industrialized nations. Several needs for improved communication in multiphase flow research, education and engineering are listed below: Channeling selected information from a variety of dispersed sources 0 such as universities, national laboratories, industry, professional societies, governments, from different countries, to the potential users. Initiation of interdisciplinary activities focused on either 0 experimental, analytical or numerical methods specific for multiphase flow. o  Providing convenient educational means to the people entering the field of multiphase flow. This may be regarded as a human resources strategy for advancing the science and technology of this field.
The Response
By considering the needs and potential rewards, the creation of the Center is timely. It is expected that the most rewarding activities will be selected by the Center after receiving input from all interested participants. Here are suggestions for several activities, besides the current Newsletter, which are achievable in short term: An important mean of communication should be the existing e-mail 0 system (INTERNET), including specialized "Bulletin boards". The Center should organize specialized technical groups on focused 0 topics in research, education, or state-of-the-art industrial applications. Development of data bases useful in multiphase flow research, such as 0 materials properties, on experimental and numerical methods. Establishing periodical contacts with other professional societies in 0 order to facilitate the flow of information. In long term, the creation of an Institute of Multiphase Flow could be a good investment. The institute would network researchers and users, sponsor workshops and short-courses, stimulate exploratory research in new areas, and fund several in-house survey projects. Samples of activities in the U.S. Vithout attempting to present a comprehensive view, I will briefly describe three professional activities in the U.S. with which I am currently involved. The Nultiphase Flow Technical Committee (MFTC) of the of the American 0 Society of Mechanical Engineering (FED/ASME) has three subcommittees on "Gas-Solid Flow", "Liquid-Solid Flow" and "Gas-Liquid Flow".  It organizes two main conferences per year at the ASME Vinter Annual Meeting (the following meeting is in New Orleans, Nov. 28-Dec. 3, 1993, and the conference chairman is M.L. Billet, 814-238-0136) and FED/ASME Summer Meeting (the following one is in Lake Tahoe, June 19-23, 1994; same conference chairman). MFTC has currently in preparation a balanced conference program, including a series of international symposia (Liquid-solid flow, June 1994; Gas-solid flow, June 1995; Gas-liquid flow, June 1995; Cavitation, April 1994), other recurring symposia (Multiphase transport in porous media, Nov. 1993; Multiphase in manufacturing, Nov. 1994; Multiphase flow in wells and pipes, Nov. 1994, others), and current interest symposia (Numerical methods in multiphase flow, June 1994;  Parallel computing in multiphase flow, Nov. 1994;  Flow visualization in multiphase flow, June 1995; others). The well established Cavitation and Multiphase Forum will be organized in June 1994 by Oki Furuya and Joseph Katz. An "Open Forum on Multiphase Flow" will be initiated in June 1994 at the meeting in Lake Tahoe, where the speakers will have the opportunity to present research in progress. Only abstracts will be required six months in advance. The main goal of the committee is to broaden the participation in the ASME activities of engineers and scientists from different fields of multiphase flow and particle technology, particularly young professionals, and to increase the interaction with other professional societies from the U.S. and abroad. Another important objective is to maintain the high quality of the papers presented and published n the ASME proceedings and the Journal of Fluids Engineering. A special emphasis is given to symposia on emerging areas of research. The Particle Technology Forum (PTF) has been established by the 0 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) in 1993 in order to promote the science and education of particulate systems. The forum conduct an international biennial conference, the first one being in August 17-19, 1994, in Denver. For further information about PTF, one may contact John Bloomer at AIChE headquarters, 345 East 47th Street, New York, N.Y. 10017, Tel. 212- 705- 7652. o  In the last years, several new university courses in the area of multiphase flow have been offered in the U.S.  A group of universities, including the University of Houston, University of Pittsburgh and University of Florida, have jointly planned a four-course sequence in this area. Other universities offer only a specialized course in this field. Illustrations of courses scheduled in 1993 are: "Fine Particle Synthesis and Transport" at the Yale University (D.E. Rosner), "Fundamentals of Gas-Droplet/Gas-Particle Flows" at the Vashington State University (C.T. Crowe), "Multiphase Flow and Heat Transfer" at the University of California in Santa Barbara (short course by S. Banerjee and G. Hetsroni), "Particle-Fluid Mechanics" at the Johns Hopkins University (M.C. Roco), and "Theory of Flotation" at the Columbia University in New York (C.C. Harris). I would like to convey the warmest thanks to the JSMF committee chaired by It opens an Professor G. Matsui for organizing the Information Center. opportunity for researchers and engineers working in multiphase flow to expand their technical information, find what is exciting around the world, and develop collaborations. I am confident that the results will be seen soon through our active participation.

The 12th Multiphase Flow Symposium '93 was held at Kyushu University, Fukuoka JAPAN on July 15 ~ 16, 1993. Usually it is very hot in this season in Fukuoka, fortunately, however, it was cool due to the unusual weather in this whole summer in the west of Japan. Some participants enjoyed to see the very lively " Yamagasa Festival ", one of the three big Yamagasa Festival in Japan. The 27 contributed papers out of 64 papers were presented in the nine morning sessions of the first day, which were roughly divided into 3 papers related to fluidized beds, 6 papers to the behavior of particles, 6 papers to liquid films or annular flows, 3 paper to the flow characteristics of a gas-liquid and a three phase flows, 3 papers to large scale multiphase flows and 6 papers to the behaviors or the generation of gas bubbles or droplets. In the 9 morning sessions in the second day 30 papers were presented. They are divided into, 7 papers related to solid-liquid two phase flows, 3 papers to swirling two phase flows, 4 papers to flow characteristics of gas-liquid two phase flows, 4 papers to two-phase flows with heat transfer, 6 papers to measurement techniques in two-phase flow, and 6 papers to the modeling of two-phase flow, which were followed by  more 4 papers to the modeling and 4 papers to two-phase flow problems in multiphase flow in the afternoon two sessions. Invited lectures were given on " Science of Multiphase Interface-Nanoscopic Viewpoints " on the first day and on " Debris Flow and Pyroclastic Flow at Unzen Volcano " on the second day, both of which stimulated our interest toward new fields of multiphase flows. In the afternoon of the first day a new type forum was held, in which 7 practical problems, i.e., Tunnel ventilation system during construction to control the density of dust, Prediction of diffusion of fine dust with water, Water jet and its application, Behavior of fine bubbles in a bath tub, A multiphase pump, Two-phase flow problems in a small scale boiler, and Two-phase flow in a nuclear reactor, were presented and discussed in a very relaxed atmosphere with drinking beer. Although interest in this symposium seems to become increasingly strong, the presentations from industries are desirable to drastically increased.

11th National Heat Transfer Conference June 24-25, 1993 - Milan, Italy UIT (Italian Union of Thermo-fluid-dynamics) organizes every year a national heat transfer conference with the participation of researchers presenting experimental or theoretical contributions in the fields of Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics. The aim of the conference is to promote a national forum to compare and exchange results obtained at University and at industry research centres. The 1993 edition was held in Milan from 24 to 25 June, 1993, and was organized by the Energy Department of the Polytechnic of Milan. The conference consisted of 4 sessions, respectively on: a) Thermo-fluid-dynamics of single-phase systems; b) Thermo-fluid-dynamics of multiphase systems; c) Computational thermo-fluid-dynamics; and d) Nuclear and conventional energy systems. A total of 46 papers was presented, including 10 papers from abroad, and about 70 people attended the conference. Two invited lectures were delivered by Prof. B. Azzopardi (The effect of pipe fittings on the structure of two-phase flow) and by Prof. L.S. Fletcher (Thermal enhancement techniques for microelectronic systems), providing an updated state-of-the-art review. Recent results obtained in the Italian academia, national industry and government labs have been presented, stimulating a fruitful discussion among participants. Main topics treated and discussed are reported herewith. Experimental investigation of the heat transfer and temperature distribution in a fluid, confined between rigid, parallel plates, and heated from below (Rayleigh-Benard convection), showing for Rayleigh number between 104 and 2.3 106 an oscillatory behaviour of the fluid temperature, starting from Ra=3.2 104 and whose frequency of oscillation increases as RA increases. Pressure drop measurements in a sudden are contraction for big diameters in air-water two- phase flow, showed a good agreement with the Chisholm model slightly modified in the expression of the void fraction. An assessment of correlations and models for the prediction of the critical heat flux (CHF) in water subcooled flow boiling over about 1900 data points, allowed to conclude that in the very high heat fluxes region modified Tong-68 correlation and Katto model are the best predictive tools available in the literature. Studies if the CHF in refrigerants binary mixtures in flow boiling demonstrated how the behaviour of the mixture in terms of the CHF depends on the CHF mechanisms, i.e. ideal behaviour (linear interpolation between the pure fluids CHF values) is observed for DNB-type mechanism, while deviations from the ideality are observed for dryout-type mechanism of the CHF. The effect of acoustic vibration on boiling incipience in pool boiling has been studied, showing that at very selective and repeatable frequencies between 180 and 200 Hz the stable convective heat transfer mode instantaneously jumps into full nucleate boiling, evidencing a strong interaction between the acoustic vibration and the boiling nucleation.
