Chair’s Message Javid Bayandor

The Fluids Engineering Division (FED) held two major recurring events

in the past fiscal year: the Fluids Engineering Division Summer Meeting (FEDSM 2017), and the Fluids Engineering Track of the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE 2017). First and foremost, almost one year after our unforgettable visit to Hawaii during FEDSM 2017, the volcanic eruptions continue to ravage its beautiful Big Island; on behalf of the FED membership I would like to wish the great people of the Island safety and a fast recovery from this natural calamity. With integral help from its six Technical Committees (TCs), symposium organizers, session chairs, and most importantly from its supportive membership, the FED was able to develop comprehensive technical programs that included workshops, plenaries, panel discussions, graduate and undergraduate student

competitions, and the newly instituted fluids visualization competition and general conference luncheon keynotes. The technical sessions have continued to become more competitive and focused on many traditional as well as emerging areas of fluids engineering. An overview of the Division activities from August 2016 to July 2017 is provided in this newsletter. Professor Francine Battaglia, of the University at Buffalo - The State University of New York, was approved to serve as the second Journal of Fluids Engineering (JFE) Technical Editor by the ASME Technical Committee on Publications and Communications (TCPC) in November 2017, having previously assisted JFE for over one year. She and Dr. Malcolm Andrews will now be working closely to lead the Journal into new frontiers as the Editors of JFE. In late 2016 and mid-2017, the fluids engineering community lost two dear friends and colleagues: Professor Jonathan Hugh Watmuff and Professor Kirti “Karman” N. Ghia. Their decades of dedication to furthering science and engineering as well as outstanding service, teaching, and mentoring will leave a lasting impression on the advancements of the field and the quality of our future engineers. FED is proud to have presented Professors Watmuff and Ghia with lifetime achievement awards posthumously. The awards were in recognition of a lifetime of dedication and contribution to the field of fluids engineering and outstanding education of our future generation. The awards were accepted during the FEDSM 2017 banquet by Mrs. Donna Watmuff and Professor Urmila Ghia (proxy, Ms. Annette Volk), in which both gave a very moving acceptance speech. FED actively solicits new ideas from its membership that can help bring the traditional conference format to a new level. Initiatives such as interactive presentations (old poster sessions), speed networking, student design competitions, and international panel discussions via the internet – which can bring together experts from across the world virtually through electronic means, and many other engaging and relevant ideas will be of particular interest to the Division. Members who wish to propose and/or lead such new activities are strongly encouraged to join one of the Division technical committees, within which they can discuss and pursue their new ideas and proposals. With many exciting changes in programs and initiatives that are being implemented at the Division level, I invite you to plan to submit your latest research progress or reviewed work to the upcoming IMECE and FEDSM 2019. These events are planned to be held in November 2018, and July 2019 in Pittsburg, PA and San Francisco, CA, respectively. It is with your active support of the Division that we continue to remain as one of the key ASME divisions. I thank you for your active involvement in and commitment to the educational and professional goals of FED and look forward to meeting you during our upcoming event, FEDSM 2018, in Montreal. Javid Bayandor Executive Committee Chair Fluids Engineering Division

Report on ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering Malcolm Andrews and Francine Battaglia

2017 was a busy year for the ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering (JFE). Highlights for the year will demonstrate the journal’s successes.

Page | 3

During 2017, JFE had a total of 827 submissions (up 16% from 2013), of which 384 were assigned to Associate Editors (AE) after a preliminary review. Of these papers, 19% were accepted, 16% rejected, and 34 papers are still in progress. The average time papers are under review is 100 days. These statistics compare well with 2016, including a slight improvement in the review time for submissions by an average of 12 days. In November 2017, the Journal of Fluids Engineering welcomed Professor Francine Battaglia as a Technical Co-editor working with Malcolm Andrews. She can be contacted by email fbattagl@buffalo.edu or through the editorial office email (jfe.editorialoffice@gmail.com). We are pleased to report that that the impact factor increased from 1.28 to 1.44 (+12%). A variety of factors can be attributed to the increase, including asking authors to provide current citations to JFE, and the excellent work from past and present Associate Editors to improve the speed that papers are reviewed. It is important that the journal be cited correctly—in particular, the journal citation must read “ASME J. Fluids Eng.” for Thomson Reuter to properly count the cite. If an incorrect cite is given, the author and journal receive a lower cite count. The editorial office and all the JFE Associate Editors are sensitive to the issue. In July 2017, Professor Arindam Banerjee from Lehigh University and Professor Jun Chen from Purdue University joined as associate editors. In October 2017, we welcomed Professor Ioannis Nikolos from the Technical University of Crete (Greece), and Professor Devesh Ranjan from Georgia Tech. In January 2018, we welcomed Professor Philipp Eppel from Coburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany). Dr. Shawn Aram from the Naval Surface Warfare Center rounded out our new AE additions in April of 2018. Professor Kwang-Yong Kim from Inha University and Professor Elias Balaras from George Washington University agreed to continue as AE’s for a second term. During 2018, associate editor Dr. Bart van Esch finished a second term (2012-2018). We will miss working with Dr. van Esch. Individually, he brought specialized expertise that served the journal very well during these last 6 years. His years of experience and wisdom markedly enhanced the performance of the journal on every paper he directed through the review process. JFE is committed to producing a high-quality journal—especially with increasing submissions. Our editors continue to use a policy of “pre-screening” papers when they are first submitted. This allows us to provide timely feedback to the authors whose manuscripts are obviously deficient. Such deficiencies typically include: poor English; formatting; “work-in-progress” rather than a completed submission; “observational” conclusions rather than careful analysis and discussion; and the use of commercial software to create a “report” rather than an archival set of results of value to the JFE readership. Currently, papers with extensive word-for-word overlap from previous publications or with extremely poor quality are also removed or rejected during the preliminary review process. Associate Editors are encouraged to pre-screen with more technical depth prior to assigning papers to reviewers, and to let authors (or the editorial office) know of any deficiencies that might significantly impact the likelihood of a successful review. The spirit of these pre-screenings is to provide faster feedback to authors and to provide better turn-around on papers sent to reviewers. We also encourage authors whose conference paper has been ranked “journal quality” to consider extending their paper, reformatting it to JFE’s requirements, and submitting it to the Journal. Many conference papers report “work-in-progress” and typically need additional results before they become of archival value. Thus, the submission of a conference paper straight to the Journal (after the conference) is likely to be unsuccessful under a pre-screen or review. Closer coupling of conferences to the Journal prove beneficial to both. One last significant change concerns excess page charges. These charges are not currently being applied; thus, the previous limit of 9 journal pages is not currently in effect. Authors should be careful about submitting excessively long papers since readers might lose interest.

In closing, we thank the editorial board of Associate Editors and the editorial office for all their hard work. Please feel free to contact the editorial office at jfe.editorialoffice@gmail.com if you have questions or concerns. Malcolm Andrews and Francine Battaglia Technical Editors

The 2017 Fluids Engineering Division Summer Meeting Chair Report Javid Bayandor

The FEDSM 2017 was held in Waikoloa, located in the Big Island of Hawaii,

from July 30 to August 3, 2017. The event was extremely memorable thanks in particular to the special hospitality that the Hilton Waikoloa Village management and staff extended to the participants as well as the open arms with which local residents welcomed us. The FED Executive Committee, TCs, and organizers successfully developed a comprehensive technical program that included three workshops, four plenaries, and seven luncheon keynotes, and an additional 80 technical sessions. The workshops comprised of highly engaging topics on “An Introduction to the NASA FUN3D Computational Fluid Dynamics Software” delivered by Dr. Eric Nielsen from the Computational AeroSciences Branch at NASA Langley Research Center; “Computational Fluid Dynamics on Graphical Processing Units: Architecture, Algorithms and Implementation” offered by Professor Pratap Vanka from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; and “Extract-based and In-situ Methods for HPC Enabled CFD”, led by Mr. Steve Legensky and Mr. Yves-Marie Lefebvre of Intelligent Light, as well as Professor Kozo Fujii of Tokyo University of Science and Japan Space Exploration Agency (JAXA). Plenary talks covered a broad range of state-of-the-art and field review presentations. Discussion started with Dr. Eric Nielsen’s “Adjoint-Based Aerodynamic Design of Complex Aerospace Configurations,” a series of algorithms developed to assess the sensitivity of complex large-scale CFD simulations was discussed. The next plenary talk titled “An Overview of Aerospace Propulsion Research at NASA Glenn Research Center” and was delivered by Dr. Dhanireddy Reddy from the Propulsion Division of NASA Glenn. Dr. Reddy reviewed many of the propulsion related Center activities and provided important suggestions for initiating collaboration with NASA. The 2017 Freeman Scholar Award winner, Professor Sivaramakrishnan-Balachandar from University of Florida, gave the Freeman Lecture on “An Improved Point-Particle Approach that Captures Fully-Resolved Physics Euler-Lagrange Point-particle,” including a thorough review of the field’s past and emerging trends. The last plenary was dedicated to the Fluids Engineering Lecture. The 2017 award recipient, Professor Michael Plesniak from The George Washington University, presented his “Studies of Unsteady Flows Inspired by Biomedical Applications” as part of his acceptance of the ASME 2017 Fluids Engineering Award. During the 2017 event, the Division had the opportunity to institute luncheon keynotes. The talks focused particularly on new understanding of fundamental or contemporary applications of fluid mechanics. The presented keynotes ranged from “The Onset of Turbulence: Insights into the Navier-Stokes Equations” to “Dynamic Stability of Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicles with Unsteady Aerodynamic Model”, presented respectively by Professor Emeritus Carl Rathmann from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and Professor Jae-Hung Han from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Others included “The Role and Future of Turbomachinery Design” presented by Professor Mark Turner from the University of Cincinnati; “Fluid Mechanics of Sports Balls” by a Sports Aerodynamicist, Dr. Rabindra

Mehta; and “Efficient Heat Exchanger Designs Using Additive Manufacturing and Siemens Automated Design Exploration Technology” by Siemens PLM’s Messrs. Aaron Godfrey and Jim Ryan, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Drs. Adrian Sabau and Yarum Polsky; as well as “Visions of Exascale CFD” presented by Mr. Steve Legensky from Intelligent Light; and “An Advanced Loop Heat Pipe for Cryogenic Applications” by Drs. Jentung Ku of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Triem Hoang of TTH Research, Inc. In 2016, the Fluids Engineering Community lost a dear friend, Professor Jonathan Hugh Watmuff. Jon’s dedication to furthering the field, his expertise, grasp of foreign and advanced concepts and, more importantly, passion for fluid mechanics and education of the next generation was second to none. The FED was honored to have Jon’s family (wife, Donna, and daughter, Madeline), friends, past students, and colleagues come together to commemorate Jon and his legacy during the “Symposium in Memory of Dr. Jonathan Watmuff.” The presenters shared their memories of Jon from different stages of his stellar career as a fluid mechanics researcher at Princeton University, experimental fluid dynamist at NASA Ames Research Center, and sub- and supersonic aerodynamics and fluid mechanics advisor and professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Jon’s recent research interests included laminar-turbulence transition, turbulence and coherent structures, flow control, and buffet loading of airframes. During Jon’s memorial session, Rabindra Mehta shared “Jon Watmuff's Legacy at NASA Ames Research Center”, Michael Plesniak discussed “Surface-Mounted Obstacles Immersed in Extremely Pulsatile Flows”, referencing Jon’s relevant activities, Brandon Horton, Yangkun Song, and Javid Bayandor presented “Full-Scale Aircraft Water Ditching Investigation using Lagrangian Based Compressible Fluid Solid Interaction”, the work Bayandor started in collaboration with Jon several years ago. His graduate advisees, Dr. David Pook and Mr. Robert Carrese, and colleague, Professor Pier Marzocca gave the final tribute by presenting “In Memory of Dr. Jonathan Hugh Watmuff: Experiments with Passion and Purpose”. The Division is further saddened immensely by the passing of Professor Karman Ghia in June 2017. Karman was a familiar and friendly face at all our FED meetings going back several decades. His absence among us will be felt dearly. A deserving commemoration is currently being planned and will be held during the upcoming IMECE 2018. The Division’s Graduate Students Steering Committee (GSSC), as detailed in the relevant section of this newsletter, selected ten submissions from among many by students who contributed to the FEDSM graduate scholarship track. GSSC was delighted to see an exceptionally sharp rise in the number of submissions in 2017 and encourages graduate students to continue to apply for consideration for the FED ‘Scholar of the Year Award’ in future years. As part of this award, students will be assigned to one of the six FED TCs to serve for one year and benefit from the graduate mentoring program that the Division has developed for our scholarship recipients. It has been a great honor to serve as the founder and chair of GSSC for the past six years and get to know many young talents that contribute to the Division. As my term comes to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the past GSSC committee members, Dr. Keith Walters and Dr. Khaled Hammad, for several years of exceptional and dedicated service to this important cause, tailored to encouraging and engaging our hard working graduate students. I would also like to welcome the new GSSC Chair, Dr. Judith Bamberger, and wish her and her committee every success in strengthening the program and rewarding the high quality work of our next generation engineers. In closing, I like to sincerely thank all the authors, contributors, participants and sponsors -School of Engineering and Applied Science of George Washington University and Intelligent Light, TC chairs and vice chairs, symposium organizers, reviewers, judges, and session chairs. Special thanks is extended to the ASME staff, particularly Ms. Jamie Hart, our Conference Manager, for her care and attention to detail with supporting this event. Organizing FEDSM 2017 has been the result of hard work and dedication of all of you, contributing to the success of the conference.

Micro- and Nano-Scale Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee Jiang Zhe, Chair and

Nazmul Islam, Vice-Chair

It was another good year for micro- and nano-scale fluid dynamics at IMECE 2017. This year the

micro/nano fluid dynamics sessions had a total of 30 talks, which increased slightly from 2016. The sessions were well attended and there was excellent discussion following the talks. This year, the symposium was also able to attract a number of papers and talks from outside the United States. The 2017 Microfluidics forum was organized by Hongwei Sun from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, with help from Mohammad Robi Hossan from the University of Central Oklahoma and Michael Schertzer from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Robi Hossan is taking the lead for 2018, with help from Jacek Wrobel from Poltech Research and Engineering. The Micro & Nano Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee (MNFDTC) also participated at FEDSM 2017 held in the Hilton Waikoloa Conference Center, in Waikoloa, Hawaii. We had 5 sessions with a total of 22 papers/presentations. 15 of our presenters were present. We had one invited talk. But seven of our 22 presenters did not show up. The FEDSM Microfluidics and Nanofluidics Symposium was organized by Jiang Zhe and Hongwei Sun from the University of Akron. Invited talks are an important part of the MNFDTC. At the FEDSM 2017 meeting, Yi Zuo from the University of Hawaii gave an exciting talk on microdroplet analysis and instrumentation, as well as on his entrepreneurial experiences. The talk received high praise from the audience. The speaker was brought in by the keynote committee composed of Jiang Zhe, Nazmul Islam, and Hongwei Sun. The 2017 invited talk was orchestrated by Mohammad Robi Hossan and Jae Sung Park (of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln). The Microfluidics Summer Forum made two recommendations for FED’s Knapp and Moody awards. They were selected from the papers presented at IMECE 2017 and FEDSM 2017. The 2017 award committee consisted of Nazmul Islam (University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley) and Mohammad Robi Hossan (Central Oklahoma University). They will make recommendations in 2018 as well.

The Microfluidics Summer Forum has three awards: the Best Paper Award, the Best Oral Presentation Award, and the Best Student Presentation Award. Brian Dincau, Arian Aghilinejad, Jong-Hoon Kim, and Xiaolin Chen (all from Washington State University, Vancouver) were awarded the Best Oral Presentation Award. Their work was titled “Characterizing the High Reynolds Number Regime for Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) Devices.” Anna Jensen (MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Cambridge, MA) and Michael G. Schrlau (Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY) were awarded the Lewis F Moody Award for their paper entitled “Observing Fluid Flow Through Carbon Nanotube Arrays and Nanoporous Membranes.” Huicong Jiang and Hua Tan (Washington State University, Vancouver, WA) won the Knapp Award for their paper entitled “One-Dimensional Simulation of Droplet Ejection of Drop-on-Demand Inkjet.” To select the best presentations and papers, feedback from session chairs was collected and compiled by our technical committee. IMECE 2018 will be held in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Organizers are currently processing the papers and sessions for this event. The Micro & Nano Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee is looking forward to the meeting and broadening the impact of the division. FEDSM 2018 will be held in July 15-20, 2018, at Montreal Canada. Nazmul Islam will organize our sessions, with the help of co-organizer Mohammad Robi Hossan. Respectfully submitted by Jiang Zhe (MNFDTC chair, Professor, University of Akron), and Nazmul Islam (MNFDTC vice-Chair, Associate Professor, Univ. of Texas, Rio Grande Valley).

Multiphase Flow Technical Committee Joseph Katz, Chair and Marianne Francois, Vice-Chair Multiphase flows are common in a variety of engineering,

environmental, and biological systems. Typical examples include gas flows transporting liquid or solid aerosols, liquid flows containing bubbles, solid particles, or living cells. This field of study also includes flows involving phase changes such as cavitation, boiling, and condensation. The objective of the Multiphase Flow Technical Committee (MFTC) is to advance our knowledge in all aspects of these fields. Over the years, the broad interests of the multiphase research community have ranged from detailed understanding and modeling of specific phenomena to the characterization of multi-component complex systems to the development of theoretical, computational, and experimental methods for investigating them. The sessions sponsored by MFTC are aimed at bringing the members of the multiphase flow community together to present and discuss recent advances in this field in two meetings. While MFTC contributes to IMECE, which takes place in Pittsburgh, PA this year, our primary venue is FEDSM. For the upcoming 2018 FEDSM meeting in Montreal, Canada, MFTC is involved in organizing the following series of sessions: • Experimental, Multiscale, and numerical Methods for Multiphase Flows (10 papers, 2 sessions). • Cavitation and Phase Changes (9 papers, 2 sessions). • Gas-Liquid, Gas-solid, and Liquid-solid flows (15 papers, 3 sessions). • Performance of multiphase flow systems (6 papers, 1 session). • Bubbles droplets and aerosol dynamics (8 papers, 2 sessions). • Erosion, slurry, sedimentation (9 papers, 2 sessions). At IMECE 2018, MFTC will sponsor the following meeting: • 14th Forum on Recent Developments in Multiphase Flow.

Page | 11

Please join us at the different presentations. We welcome and continuously look for new and active members, and new ideas for future meetings. Membership in the committee is open to individuals with an interest in any and all aspects of multiphase flow research and applications. Many new members have joined us recent years and have contributed substantially to the organization of the upcoming meeting. Please feel free to contact the current chair, Joe Katz, at katz@jhu.edu or the current vice-chair, Marianne Francois, at mmfran@lanl.gov for more information, questions, or ideas. Starting from the IMECE meeting this year, Marianne Francois will become the chair of FMTC, and Robert Kunz will replace her as a vice-chair.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee Elia Merzari, Chair and

Jingsen Ma, Vice-Chair

The focus of the Computational Fluid Dynamics Technical

Committee (CFDTC) is the field of computational fluid dynamics and related areas. Areas of interest to the CFDTC include but are not limited to the development of algorithms for use with CFD, advanced techniques for the numerical representation of fluid flow, quantification of numerical error, verification, validation and uncertainty for CFD, practices and procedures for the accurate application of CFD, high performance computing, turbulence modeling and simulation and fundamental research and applications. Membership is open to anyone who is interested in participating in the activities of the CFDTC. The CFDTC meets twice a year at the summer FED meeting and in the fall at the IMECE meeting. At the summer FED meeting 2017 in Hawaii, the CFDTC sponsored 3 symposia. These were: Symposium on Applications and Development in CFD, Symposium on DNS, LES, and Hybrid RANS/LES Methods, and Symposium on Algorithms and Applications for High Performance CFD Computation. At FEDSM 2018, due to the re-organization of the division submittal system, we have focused on three symposia, for which we have received nearly 100 abstract submissions: the flagship Symposium on Applications and Developments in CFD, the Symposium on DNS, LES, and Hybrid RANS/LES Methods, and the Symposium on Fluid Structure Interaction. Several Keynote presentations are planned at the conference as well. At the IMECE meeting the CFDTC sponsors and co-sponsors 3 topics: Symposium on CFD Algorithms and Applications for Flow Optimization and Controls, Forum on Multiphase Flow with Bio-Applications (co-sponsor), International Symposium on Measurement and Modeling of Environmental Flows, and a Panel on CFD/EFD Choice - A Dilemma for Industries (co-sponsor). The CFDTC also started hosting in 2017 a new panel in collaboration with the heat transfer division titled: “Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Roundtable: Navigating the Code Landscape.” The aim of the symposium is to discuss the use of different codes to simulate heat transfer in fluid systems with CFD codes and current best practices. The Symposia and Panels are intended for widening the participation of the CFDTC and cultivating the inter-disciplinary interactions between the CFDTC and the other disciplines at the IMECE. In addition, at the IMECE 2018 meeting CFDTC will also co-sponsor a “Kirti (Karman) Ghia Celebration of Life Symposium” in recognition of Professor Kirti (Karman) Ghia’s significant contributions to the ASME fluids community, which is planned as a one-day memorial symposium with sessions consisting of technical presentations, as well as sessions with “memories” talks.

The CFDTC actively participates in the graduate student paper competition program. We encourage students to submit to this competition. In addition to receiving significant recognition, students that receive this award will benefit with close interaction with the CFDTC leadership. We believe the CFDTC’s involvements with the student scholars will have very positive impacts on their future professional developments. We remind our members that it was recently decided to institute a committee-level best paper award. In fact, one of the topics that emerged frequently in our discussions within the CFDTC was the desire to improve paper quality in the sessions organized by the CFDTC. One possible mechanism to achieve the desired goal of increasing high quality submissions is to improve our recognition program for our authors. Nominations for this year award are due by September 15th, 2018 to Dr. Ning Zhang (nzhang@mcneese.edu). We solicit nominations in particular for papers submitted to CFDTC symposia at FEDSM 2018 and IMECE 2017, but all CFDTC papers submitted in the two years prior to the deadline are eligible. Winners will be announced at IMECE 2018. We note that the winners may also be considered as nominees from the CFDTC for the Knapp/Moody awards at the discretion of the CFDTC’s honors and awards representative Dr. Ning Zhang, in consulting with the CFDTC Chair and the Vice Chair. We welcome you to be part of the CFDTC by coming to our TC meetings, presenting at our symposia, or volunteering to help in CFDTC activities.

Fluid Measurement and Instrumentation Technical Committee Martin Wosnik, Chair and

Stamatios Pothos, Vice-Chair

Within the ASME Fluids Engineering Division (FED), the Fluid Measurement and Instrumentation

Technical Committee (FMITC) focuses on measurement and instrumentation issues relevant to fluid flows. Modern fluids engineering deals with a broad range of problems: from comparatively simpler cases, such as isothermal, incompressible, single phase flows of Newtonian fluids to non-Newtonian multiphase flows with heat and mass transfer, from the nanoscale to the macroscale. Experimental measurements and instrumentation are required in all cases to verify new theories, to certify the performance of fluid machinery, or to obtain fundamental information on processes to guide and validate analytical and numerical models. The FMITC was originally organized under the Coordinating Group for Fluid Measurements (CGFM) to foster technical and professional development activities in the area of fluid measurements in both laboratory and field. FMITC is responsible to organize, promote, and present symposia, forums, and panel discussions on fluid measurements. The committee meetings of FMITC are held twice a year at FEDSM. The date and time of the committee meetings are announced in the conference program. Elections for FMITC chair and vice-chair will be held at the committee meetings during FEDSM in Montreal, Quebec, July 15-20, 2018. Chairs and vice-chairs serve for two year terms; it has been customary for the vice-chair to be elected to a term as chair after two years. If you are interested in getting involved in the FMITC and have suitable background and experience to help move the FMITC forward, please contact Martin Wosnik or Stamatios Pothos, and attend the FMITC committee meeting in Montreal.

Under the new format of FEDSM, FMITC has been organizing an FMITC conference track, first at FEDSM 2017 in Waikoloa, Hawai’i, and now at FEDSM 2018 in Montreal. FMITC-sponsored symposia include various Fluid Measurements and Instrumentation topics, Uncertainty Quantification as well as symposia on Wind Energy and other renewable energy topics.

FED Flow Visualization Competition and Prize

FMITC recently initiated the new FED Flow Visualization Competition and Prize. Flow visualization has a long tradition in fluids engineering, from Leonardo Da Vinci’s sketches of flowing water, through well-publicized images of canonical flows in many facilities over the past century, to the modern-day quantitative flow visualization techniques in experimental and computational fluid dynamics. While the capabilities of the technology and techniques at our disposal have drastically increased, the challenge remains to process and represent data in most meaningful way, to help better describe physical insight that can ultimately lead to progress in the field. The inaugural Flow Visualization Competition and Prize was held at FEDSM 2017 in Hawai’i. We received 17 video entries, each accompanied by a short description, as requested by the submission guidelines. A total of 8 judges were recruited, balancing experimental and numerical backgrounds, and avoiding conflicts of interest. Entries were scored based on four criteria: (1) visual appeal, (2) originality of the work, (3) effort and difficulty in obtaining the results, and (4) quality of the description of the flow visualization and physical insight. All videos were edited into one video file with video titles (41 minutes long), and were played on the two big screens during the awards banquet. The winners of the inaugural competition were: 1st Place Winner ($500 prize and certificate): HIGH-SPEED X-RAY IMAGING OF AN AIRBLAST ATOMIZER TJ Heindel, JK Bothell, D Li, and TB Morgan, Iowa State University, Aliseda and N Machicoane, University of Washington, AL Kastengren, Argonne National Laboratory 2nd Place Winner ($300 prize and certificate): TURBULENCE IN DOMAINS OF CLOSE PACKED SPHERES LH Fick, YA Hassan, Texas A&M University, O. Marin, E. Merzari, Argonne National Laboratory 3rd Place Winner ($200 prize and certificate): DPIV STUDY ON WEIS-FOGH MECHANISM AT REYNOLDS NUMBER OF ~10,000 JS Han and JH Han, KAIST, Republic of Korea
