of the PAPERS TO BE PRESENTED

at THE 3rd WORLD CONFERENCE ON

EXPERIMENTAL HEAT TRANSFER, FLUID MECHANICS, AND THERMODYNAMICS

Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

FOREWORD

The following pages contain abstracts of papers to be presented at the 3rd World Conference on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamics, which will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii during the week of October 1 to November 5, 1993. Over 220 papers will be presented at the Conference, most in poster sessions to encourage fruitful interchanges with authors. The number of papers and the variety of subjects addressed, attest to the continued vitality and vigor of experimental work. A decade ago there were those who predicted that large scale computational codes would go a long way toward eliminating the need for experiments. What has emerged though, is the true nature of the symbiotic relationship between experiment and computational simulation.

The two previous Conferences were held in Dubrovnik, Croatia (then Yugoslavia). The first was held in September, 1988, and the second in June, 1991. Recent world events in that region makes us painfully aware that the somewhat sterile endeavors of scientific investigation are not isolated from the tragedies that fill our world.

Those wishing more information, refer to the Announcement follow- ing the Abstracts.
