Fluid Phenomena in Energy Exchanges Section—IAHR
Chair: Yassin Hassan
PAST & PRESENT ACTIVITIES:
Two Working Group on Advanced Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics Meetings were
held:
 2001 in Obninsk, Russia—activities included fluid flow and thermal
hydraulics in reactor components cooled by liquid metals, gases and water.
 2004 the meeting was about “Hydrodynamics and heat transfer in single
and two-phase flow of liquid metals”.
 October 2005, Avignon, France special session on heavy metal fluid flow
transport and thermodynamics. During NURETH-12.
* Co-sponsored the Symposium on the Advances in the Modeling Methodologies of
Two-Phase Flows Meeting (SHF/IAHR), Lyons, France, November 24-26, 2004.
* Co-sponsored a NASA conference on the computation Fluid Dynamics, 2005.
* Delivered a tutorial seminar on computational fluid dynamics applications at
ICONE-2004, 2005, 2006, 2007.

Delivered a tutorial related to multiphase flow and transport phenomena
cosponsored by Fluid Engineering Division of ASME, 2005.

Several reports are issued related to these meetings (See below).

International Symposium on Fluid, Control, Measurement and Visualization:
FLUCOME 2007, Tallahassee, Florida, September 2007.

Two special sessions related to Nuclear Applications organized at 32nd IAHR
Venice Congress with 10 technical articles to be presented orally.
Future Planned Activities:
:

It is the time to focus on to reduce CO2 emission and thinking about solving
the shortage of potable water by considering a mix of options including
nuclear. This activity is suggested by one of the section members.

Other activities as Benchmarks Exercises in CFD (Mixing in various
components and situations)

Update the section webpage.

Seminars at various conferences

Strength the relations with other organizations to enhance the multisplinary
activities.

Participation at IAHR Congress, August 2009 by sponsoring several sessions
related to Multi-phase Flows and co-sponsoring sessions with Numerical
Modeling and Instrumentations sections.
