FROM: Ran Holtzman, Coventry University, 22/11/21
SUBJECT: InterPore 2022 conference: mini-symposium on "Interfacial
phenomena in multiphase systems" (MS6-B) 
EVENT DATE: 30 May - 02 June 2022 in Abu Dhabi (hybrid mode)
DETAILS: https://events.interpore.org/event/40/page/287-minisymposia
The existence of fluid-fluid interfaces poses numerous scientific
complexities to multiphase flow problems at different scales. This
challenge is relevant to many porous media applications, in particular
in geoscience and engineering ones. Examples can be found in foam and
(chemical) EOR methods, in conventional and unconventional subsurface
formations. As for its specific multidisciplinary nature, we establish a
separate mini-symposium on this subject, aiming to bring together porous
media scientists of different applications and disciplines (numerical,
experimental and real field experts) to share their state-of-the-art
findings and challenges in this mini-symposium. 

FROM: Richard Underhill, Frazer-Nash Consultancy Ltd, 16/11/21
SUBJECT: Thermal hydraulic analysis for SMRs and AMRs: A how to guide
EVENT DATE: 14/12/21, 14:00-15:30
DETAILS:
https://fnc.eventsair.com/thermal-hydraulic-analysis-for-smrs-and-amrs-a-how-to-guide/rego/Site/Register
Don't miss the opportunity to hear about and get free access to a set of
nuclear thermal hydraulic publications that will be available from the
IMechE website. These ten documents describe the state of the art in the
analysis, confidence and uncertainty methods for single phase heat
transfer and natural convection for advanced nuclear technologies
(water, high temperature gas, liquid metal and molten salt). 

This event will introduce the purpose of the six technical volumes and
four case studies, outline the content and discuss how they are intended
to be used for industrial applications. The seminar will be presented by
the expert team that produced the material as well as those in the
Advanced Nuclear community who have already benefitted from the work
undertaken. This work was funded by the UK Government Department for
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) as part of the Nuclear
Innovation Programme (NIP). Further information on the project and
additional publications are available on the project website [5].

CLOSING DATE: 2/12/21 

FROM: Dan Butcher & Hao Xia, Loughborough University, 22/10/21
SUBJECT: Fully-funded PhD studentship (UK Residents); International
tuition fee only (international applicants)
TOPIC: Aerodynamics of hydrogen fuelled trapped vortex combustor
concepts
DETAILS: Low carbon solutions for power generation are of significant
interest in order to meet legislative targets such as net zero by 2050.
Trapped Vortex Combustors (TVCs) use a cavity to 'trap' or 'lock' in a
large rotating vortex in a stable manner, hence can be more efficient
with less emission. The PhD project will investigate aerodynamic
characteristics of such configurations using LES and will have
collaboration with TU Delft (Netherlands) and Sandia Laboratory (USA).
