CSP - 9th International Conference on Multiphase Flow -ICMF 2016
Abstract
Since 1991, the International Conference on Multiphase Flow (ICMF) is the largest international forum to present and discuss progress in research, development, standards, and applications of the topics related to multiphase flows. The 9th edition of ICMF will be held in Firenze (Italy), May 22-27, 2016; and will be devoted to all aspects of Multiphase Flow. The following main scientific topics have been identified: Bio-fluids; bubbly flows; boiling, condensation and evaporation; cavitation/nucleation; collisions, agglomeration and breakup; colloidal and suspension dynamics; computational techniques for multiphase flows; droplet flows; environmental and geophysical flows; experimental methods for multiphase flows; fluidization; fluid-structure interactions; granular media; industrial applications; interfacial flows; instabilities; micro- and nano-scale multiphase flows; mixing; modelling of multiphase flows; multiphase flow in heat and mass transfer; non-Newtonian multiphase flows; particle, bubble and drop dynamics: particle-laden flows; reactive multiphase flows; turbulence in multiphase flows. Clearly, almost all these topics are of central interest for the US Naval or Marine Corp Science & Technology Plan. The technical program of ICMF 2016 features oral presentations, posters and videos, including 5 plenary lectures by: Christine HRENYA (University of Colorado Boulder, USA); Joseph KATZ (Johns Hopkins University, USA); Detlef LOHSE (Technical University Twente, Netherlands); Kazuyasu SUGIYAMA (Osaka University, Japan); StŽphane ZALESKI (University Pierre et Marie Curie, France); and 10 keynote lectures by: Yutaka ABE (University of Tsubuka, Japan); Dieter BOTHE (Technical University Darmstadt, Germany); Mickael BOURGOIN (University of Grenoble, France); Joseph DUFEK (Georgia Tech. University, USA); Ho-Young KIM (Seoul University, Korea); Dominique LEGENDRE (IMFT, France); Omar MATAR (Imperial College of London, United Kingdom); Giovanna VITTORI (University of Genova, Italy); Evelyn WANG (MIT, USA); Roberto ZENIT (Universidad Nacional Aut—noma de MŽxico, MŽxico). Other special events include vendor exhibits and the ICMF Junior/Senior Award. We expect that more than 1000 experts and professional researchers from all over the world will attend and make presentations of their research results and recent advancements. Main objectives of IMCF2016 are to share and promote the exchange of new ideas, results and techniques, but also to extend social networking. To these objectives, the conference will bring together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, university faculty, and researchers across government and industry to share the latest developments in the field of Multiphase Flows. The outcomes will be: oral and poster presentations (about 1000), conference proceedings, possibly journal articles in Special Issues. ICMF2016 can definitely foster collaboration between U.S. Navy personnel and the international scientists and technologists around the world who will attend. ICMF 2016 will be the perfect venue to identify new technologies, promote and address the needs of the Navy and Marine Corps and enhance the S&T priorities of ONR, particularly in the Power and Energy focus area. Funding is here requested in the frame of the Collaborative Science Program that financially supports international workshops and conferences.
