Japan-US Seminar on Two-Phase Flow Dynamics; Hokkaido, Japan

该奖项将支持美国科学家和工程师参加将于2017年6月22日至24日在日本北海道札幌北海道大学举行的日美两相流动力学研讨会。这是1979年开始的系列讲座的第11次。研讨会的目标是加强对两相流动力学的理解，并加速改进测量技术和预测计算模型的发展。多相流存在于许多工业过程中，包括传统锅炉和核反应堆中的沸腾传热、液体燃料的雾化、通过多孔介质的流动、过滤和分离以及某些类型的催化反应器。多相流存在于自然发生的过程中，包括空气-海洋界面的热量和质量传递、云的形成和降水、沙尘暴、雪崩和海岸沉积物运输。研讨会的目标是传播最新的研究成果，建立新的合作关系，并提高学生在多相流现象方面的培训。会议将包括一系列主题演讲和研究报告。会议主题将集中在蒸发流、微尺度两相流、气泡群、数值挑战、气液界面动力学、气泡剪切流、测量技术的进展、流动可视化、高速界面流。研讨会还将包括参观美国、日本和欧盟的实验室和报告两相流研究活动。将为新兴科学家和初级教师提供支持，目的是吸引年轻研究人员参与多相流科学。

CBET - 1705474PI: Tryggvason, Gretar This award will support participation of US scientists and engineers at the Japan-US Seminar on Two-Phase Flow Dynamics, which will be held June 22-24, 2017 at Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. This is the 11th seminar in a series that started in 1979. The goal of the seminar is to enhance progress in understanding two-phase flow dynamics and to accelerate the development of improved measurement techniques and predictive computational models. Multiphase flows are found in many industrial processes, including boiling heat transfer in conventional boilers and nuclear reactors, atomization of liquid fuels, flow through porous media, filtration and separations, and certain kinds of catalytic reactors. Multiphase flows are found in naturally-occurring processes, including heat and mass transfer at air-ocean interfaces, cloud formation and precipitation, sandstorms, avalanches, and coastal sediment transport. The goals of the symposium are to disseminate recent research findings, establish new collaborations, and improve the training of students in multiphase flow phenomena. The meeting will consist of a series of keynote lectures and research presentations. Sessions topics will focus on evaporating flows, microscale two-phase flows, bubble swarms, numerical challenges, gas-liquid interfacial dynamics, bubbly shear flows, advances in measurement techniques, flow visualization, high-speed interfacial flows. The seminar will also include laboratory tours and reports on two-phase flow research activities in the US, Japan and EU. Support will be provided to emerging scientists and junior faculty members with the goal of engaging young researchers in the science of multiphase flows.
