he International Information Center for Multiphase Flow NEWSLETTER No. 58, March 2023 The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flow 12th Japan-Korea Symposium on Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics and Safety  (NTHAS-12) October 30 -November 2, 2022, Phoenix Seagaia Resort, Miyazaki, Japan by Yutaka ABE NTHAS-12 (The 12th Korea-Japan Symposium on Nuclear Thermal Hydraulics and Safety) was held from October 30 to November 2, 2022, at the Phonix Seagaia Resort in Miyazaki Prefecture. A total of 181 participants (80 from Japan and 101 from Korea) attended the symposium, and 105 papers were presented in addition to 2 plenary lectures and 4 keynote lectures. This symposium has been held biennially in Japan and Korea alternately for more than 20 years since the first symposium was held in Pusan, Korea in 1998 by the Thermal Hydraulics Division of AESJ and KNS in Japan and Korea. The conferences have been very successful in terms of quality of technology and number of participants, providing a unique opportunity to discuss the latest technical information from Japan To Join ICeM: Everybody, who is interested in Multiphase flow, is welcome to join ICeM.

and Korea as well as to interact with colleagues from neighboring countries. Originally, the conference was to be held every two years, alternating between Japan and Korea. Thus, initially, this NTHAS-12 was scheduled to take place in 2020. Unfortunately, the year 2020 was also the beginning of the global COVID-19 corona pandemic. The NTHAS-12 was forced to be postponed repeatedly due to the COVID-19 corona pandemic. After two years of postponement, it was decided to held the NTHAS as a FACE-TO-FACE Style Symposium in Miyazaki in 2022. Although the coronary outbreak is now under control, the scale of the meeting was comparable to previous NTHASs, even though the situation still does not allow for optimism. In particular, this was an opportunity to reaffirm the depth and certainty of the ties between Japan and South Korea in the field of nuclear thermal hydraulics. Thanks to the efforts and dedication of the participants from Japan and Korea as well as all the people involved in this symposium, we were able to hold a successful conference. I would like to express my gratitude once again.

The University of Salerno hosted the conference, kindly chaired by Professor Massimo Poletto and Dr. Diego Barletta. The scope of the conference is particle science and technology for producing and handling particulate materials such as chemicals, ceramics, minerals, foods, pharmaceutics, biomass fuels and additive manufacturing and so on. The research fields extended over the solid flow, mechanical behaviour of bulk materials, powder 2 by Koichiro OGATA testing, mixing, segregation, and modelling in the industrial sectors. The conference gathered about 200 participants from around the world in centered Europe although researchers from Japan, the US, Australia and China could not come to the conference due to the pandemic. The program includes 7 plenaries, 26 keynotes, and 150 presentations and posters. Plenary talks were given by - Prof. Heinrich Jaeger (University of Chicago, USA) - Prof.  Dingena  Schott  (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands) -  Prof. Chuan-Yu Wu (University of Surrey, UK) - Prof. Raffaella Ocone (Heriot-Watt University, UK) - Dr Pierre Jop (CNRS/Saint-Gobain, France) - Dr Andrea Benassi (Chiesi Farmaceutici, Italy) - Prof.  Jochen Schmidt (University Erlangen, Germany) I was impressed by these talks focusing on the understanding of fundamental behaviour of particulate materials, the modelling using the assessment of the particle physical properties, the experiments, and the techniques.  Particularly, simulation the DEM simulation was used in much research as a valuable tool to understand the mechanism of particle behaviour. The research topics were categorized into 10 tracks: Track 1. Pneumatic and mechanical conveying, Track 2. Multiphase flow and fluidization, Track 3. Powder testing and characterization, Track 4. Particle design and manufacturing, Track 5. Compaction and tableting, Track 6. Thermomechanical behaviour of granular materials, Track 7. Agglomeration and Granulation, Track 8. Dust and aerosol emissions, Track 9. Particle deformation, Track 10. Wear and attrition. Each track had 1 to 3 sessions with 3 to 5 presentations. In my research field, there was an exciting presentation on evaluation and modelling cohesive powder flow for the understanding of industrial powder handling processing. The next CHoPS will be held in a European country in 2025. The international committee member will decide the place in the committee's meeting in the near future. I was the only participant from Japan at the conference and I look forward to seeing many of you there.

The 1st ICMF was held in Tsukuba, Japan in 1991 and then the 2nd was again in Japan, Kyoto in 1995. Since then, ICMF has been governed by the ICMF Governing Board, and has been held every three years in the three geographical regions in the order of Europe, America and Asia-Oceania. ICMF has been playing a very im- portant role in multiphase flow R & D communities as the world's largest conference on multiphase flow. ICMF will provide you with state-of-the-art knowledge on all the aspects of multiphase flow, a good chance of deepening a friendship and research collaboration, and new beginnings as well!
