Chair’s Message Keith Walters

Dear Colleagues,

This is an exciting time for the Fluids Engineering Division (FED). The past year has been a notable and successful one, and the coming year is shaping up to be another. It is a time of organizational change within ASME, and I'm optimistic that the changes will be to the long term benefit of FED. As Chair of the FED Executive Committee (EC), I'm happy to have the opportunity to update you on the past year's activities, and to give a brief summary of what's to come. In 2015 the Fluids Engineering Division's signature event, the annual summer meeting, was held in cooperation with our colleagues from fellow societies KSME (Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers) and JSME (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers). The ASME-JSME-KSME Joint Fluids Engineering Summer Conference (AJK 2015) was held July 26-31, 2015, at the Coex Center in Seoul, Korea. KSME was the host society, and Prof. Nahmkeon Hur of Sogang University served as KSME conference chair.

Prof. Chisachi Kato of the University of Tokyo served as JSME conference co-chair, and I served as ASME conference co-chair. The conference program included 455 technical presentations and 297 full conference papers. There were 559 registered attendees from 25 different countries, with the largest number coming, not surprisingly, from Korea, Japan, and the United States, respectively. In addition to the 33 technical tracks, there were eight conference wide presentations by distinguished lecturers. ASME sponsored three of these, including Prof. Shapour Azarm from the University of Maryland and Prof. Paul Durbin from Iowa State University. Dr. Promode Bandyopadhyay of the U.S. Navy Undersea Warfare Center, recipient of the 2015 Fluids Engineering Award, rounded out the slate of impressive ASME speakers. Despite a Korean outbreak of the MERS virus that likely kept some potential participants from traveling, the conference was a tremendous success. It is clear from both conference surveys and from my own conversation with attendees that the venue, technical program, and social program were very well received. I would like to express my gratitude and congratulations to our KSME hosts, and I look forward to the opportunity for ASME to match the high standard that has been set when we serve as the host society for AJK 2019. In 2015 FED once again had a strong presence at the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE), held November 12-19 in Houston, TX. The Fluids Engineering Systems and Technologies track was sponsored by FED and chaired by Dr. Yu-Tai Lee. The track included 16 symposia and fora and 110 technical presentations. The division also once more sponsored the Young Engineer's Paper contest, chaired by Prof. Terry Beck, which continues to be an excellent showcase for talented young researchers in our field. Looking forward to the upcoming year, final preparations are being made for the 2016 FEDSM meeting to be held July 10-14 in Washington, D.C. This year we are once again co-locating with the Summer Heat Transfer Conference, sponsored by the Heat Transfer Division, and with the International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minchannels. This year's conference is particularly special as we will be celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Fluids Engineering Division, and several special events have been planned in recognition of this milestone. If you haven't yet made your plans to attend, I strongly encourage you to do so. IMECE will be held November 11-17, 2016, in Phoenix, Arizona, and FED will once more sponsor one of the tracks. Check the IMECE website launch to get the technical schedule information and other conference details. You will also want to start planning ahead for the 2017 FED Summer Meeting, which will be held July 28 to August 4 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village in Kona, Hawaii. For this meeting FED will once more be "on our own", with no partner societies or co-located conferences. The last such meeting was 2013 in Lake Tahoe, and we are looking forward to matching the success of that meeting with another outstanding venue and conference program. Finally, as many of you are aware, ASME has recently taken a close look at its own operating model, and as a consequence has undergone organizational and policy changes in an effort to better position the society for the needs of its members in the 21st century. Transitions of this sort can often be bumpy, and a sense of uncertainty can arise among those who are impacted. I want to take this opportunity to assure the FED membership that the Executive Committee is working together with ASME staff and volunteers to ensure that our division emerges from these changes stronger and better prepared to serve our technical community. As the new structure of ASME has taken shape, and as more information has been made available regarding ASME's objectives and strategy, I have been encouraged that the future of FED is bright. There will of course be concerns, and I don't want to minimize those, but I hope all of our members will commit to working together for the division. In upcoming meetings we will work to keep members in the loop regarding the new structure of ASME. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to let the EC know of any questions, concerns, or suggestions that you might have.

I would like to acknowledge the outstanding effort of our ASME FED volunteers, including the Technical Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs, the Honors and Awards Committee, the Freeman Scholar Committee, the Newsletter Editor, and the Technical Editor and Associate Editors of the FED sponsored journals—Journal of Fluids Engineering, Journal of Nanotechnology in Engineering and Medicine, and Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification. You will find information on these and other activities in the remainder of the newsletter. I am also grateful for the outstanding support of the ASME Staff, who continue to be instrumental in allowing us to advance our fluids engineering mission. If you haven't already, please visit the community.asme.org website and join the Fluids Engineering Division group. This will give you access to more information from FED, including past newsletters and information regarding division leadership and organization. Thank you for your interest in and support of FED. I hope to see you soon at an upcoming event. Best regards, D. Keith Walters Executive Committee Chair Fluids Engineering Division FED 90th Anniversary

The Fluids Engineering Division (FED) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) was founded in 1926 and was originally named the Hydraulic Division of the ASME. Following the advances and trends in the field, the name of the Hydraulic Division was changed to the Fluids Engineering Division in 1963. At present, celebrating its 90th Anniversary, FED has members that represent almost every country, and covers many industries which have either direct or indirect connection with fluids engineering. A special article in upcoming Mechanical Engineering magazine will showcase an important highlight of the Anniversary Celebration, by documenting the history of the Fluids Engineering Division, as well as assessing its current status and future outlook. The discussion on the FED’s past and present position has been contributed by Professor Sam Martin (Chair 1980), Dr. Paul Cooper (Chair 1985), Dr. Tim O’Hern (Chair 2001) and Dr. George Papadopoulos (Chair 2007). A forecast for the FED’s future outlook is jointly prepared by the FED’s current technical committees’ chairs and vice-chairs. In 1973, FED launched its own journal, the Journal of Fluids Engineering (JFE), which is now considered one of the leading journals on the subject of engineering applications in Fluid Mechanics. Due to recent technological developments and expansion, FED has jointly sponsored the Journal of Nanotechnology in Engineering and Medicine (created in 2010) with the ASME Bioengineering, Heat Transfer and Materials Divisions, and the Journal of Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (created in 2016) with the Heat Transfer Division. An overview on the activities of FED’s three archival journals is included in the article of the Mechanical Engineering magazine.

The Fluids Engineering Division strives to meet the challenges of disseminating timely technical information by organizing technical conferences and conducting workshops and panel discussions. Every year FED organizes the Fluids Engineering Division Summer Meeting (FEDSM) while also being an integral part of the International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE), both conferences being highly regarded worldwide. Organization of FEDSM involves international collaborations with FED members in Asia and Europe in a four-year recurring cycle. In honor of our strong partnerships with Asian engineering societies, notably the Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) and the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers (KSME), it was decided following FEDSM2007 (held in San Diego) to locate this jointly sponsored conference outside of the U.S., breaking a trend of typically holding it on the West Coast to accommodate participants from Asia. Before San Diego, FEDSM1999 was held in San Francisco and FEDSM2003 in Honolulu. In 2011 JSME hosted the first ASME/JSME/KSME Joint Fluids Engineering Meeting (AJK2011) in Hamamatsu, Japan. Four years later KSME hosted AJK2015 in Seoul, South Korea. As planned, AJK2019 will once again return to the U.S. Similarly, partnerships with European engineering societies accommodate conference participants in East Coast locations, including Canada, such as the FEDSM2006 held in Miami and the FEDSM2010 in Montreal. Looking ahead, FEDSM2018 could become the first FED summer meeting to be held in Europe. During the remaining two years of the four-year cycle, FEDSM is either jointly held with the ASME Heat Transfer Division (HTD) and the International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels (ICNMM) as is FEDSM2016, or held alone such as FEDSM2017 will be. This four-year cycle stimulates not only strong FED member participation but also international collaboration, bringing the global Fluids Engineering community together. The trend is consistent with ASME’s emphasis on Globalization and the OneASME mission to strengthen the Fluids Engineering community and its impact to society as a whole. In contrast, IMECE is a multi-disciplinary event that includes topical themes supported by 17 divisions of ASME. At IMECE, the FED organizes a Track on Fluids Engineering and Systems encompassing topics and sessions that are cross-cutting and inter-disciplinary in nature. In order to revitalize previous efforts by Professors Ali Ogut (Chair 2003), Sam Martin and Urmila Ghia (Chair 2006) to document the history of FED, a proposal was made in the spring of 2015 to celebrate FED’s 90th Anniversary in connection with FEDSM2016, to occur in Washington D.C. during July 10 to 14, 2016. With the support of the FED’s Executive Committee, a steering committee was quickly assembled in May 2015 to mark this important milestone by planning a special celebration event at FEDSM2016 to recognize the personal and technical contributions of many FED members over the years. Furthermore, a collaborative effort by the steering committee, and assisted by the ASME support staff, was designing the 90th Anniversary Celebration logo that is shown at the beginning of this article. In addition, a special edition of JFE, in publication for July 2016, will include an expanded version of the Mechanical Engineering article, a look at the progress in fluid mechanics during the last 90 years, and contain manuscripts covering a range of topics prepared by prominent researchers in mechanical engineering, including articles capturing end-of-career research by retired faculty. Professor Francine Battaglia (Chair 2014), Dr. Jinkook Lee (Chair 2012) and Professor Keith Walters (Chair 2016) are the special editors overseeing this special edition of JFE. At the 90th Anniversary Celebration the FED will recognize distinguished engineers and scientists who have contributed significantly to the advancement of the Division and to the science and practice of Fluids Engineering in the last fifty years with a specially designed medal (designed by Professor Efstathios E. Michaelides (Chair 2005) and Dr. Joel T. Park (Chair 2009)) and a pertinent certificate. This recognition will take place during a special awards banquet at FEDSM2016. We are excited to see both our past colleagues, as well as, get to meet a few new ones during this special event. The invitees include past FED chairs, Freeman Scholars, and winners of the Fluids Engineering Award, the Fluids Machinery Design Award, the Sankaraiyer Gopalakrishnan-Flowserve Pump Technology Award, and the Henry R. Worthington Medal. Although the last award is administered by the Petroleum Division, the award itself is more relevant to the FED’s activities and most of the award recipients have been FED members. Additionally, Dr. William B. Morgan (Chair 1981) will present a history lecture, an important highlight of the celebration event during FEDSM2016. Finally, Professor Mohamed Gad-el-Hak of Virginia

Commonwealth University, a contributor to the special JFE issue with an article entitled “Nine Decades of Fluid Mechanics”, will be a plenary speaker at the conference. FED’s longevity and achievements are due to the commitment and engaging participation of its members, who support all of its endeavors, from organizing conferences and sessions to serving on committees and contributing to publications. The technical committees, administrative committees, and technical journals are the life force behind FED and its successes are due to the collective contributions of all its members. We appreciate the support of the dedicated ASME staff, who have always been knowledgeable and resourceful. We owe a great deal of thanks to the ground-breaking fluids engineers who came before us, creating and growing both the Division and the fluids engineering community so as to reach its historic 90th Anniversary. The obligation we have to them is to continue to build on the foundation we have achieved so far. I am optimistic that, with the continued support of our dedicated volunteers, the Fluids Engineering Division has a promising future for many years to come. I thank all of the volunteers for their service to the Fluids Engineering Division and to the ASME. In particularly, I am indebted to everyone in the steering committee, including Professor Francine Battaglia, Dr. Paul Cooper, Dr. Bahram Khalighi (Chair 2015), Professor Sam Martin, Professor Efstathios Michaelides, Dr. William B. Morgan, Dr. Tim O’Hern, Dr. George Papadopoulos, Dr. Joel Park, Professor S. A. Sherif (Chair HTD 2014), and ASME staff Norma Johnston, Jimmy Le, Greg Valero, Nick Ferrari, and Christine Reilley, for all of their efforts in helping organize a tribute to 90 years of Fluids Engineering that we can all be proud of. If you need more information regarding the celebration events for the FED 90th Anniversary or you wish to attend FEDSM2016, please contact me at (301) 227-1328 or (yu.lee@navy.mil). Sincerely, Yu-Tai Lee FEDSM2016 Program Chair Report on ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering Malcolm Andrews

The year of 2015 was another busy year for the ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering (JFE), and I am pleased to write this report about our progress and upcoming activities in 2016. For 2015 the impact factor for the JFE remained constant at 0.94, and I hope we will break the 1.0 this summer. One of the problems we continually face are accurate cites, and so I remind you the journal cite must read “ASME J. Fluids Eng.” for Thompson Reuter to properly count the cite. If an incorrect cite is given then the author and the journal receive a lower cite count. The editorial offices, and the JFE Associate Editors, are all sensitive to the issue; please do not hesitate to contact the editorial office at JFE.EditorialOffice@gmail.com if you have any questions. During 2015 the JFE had a total of 955 submissions (up from 774 in 2014), of which about 500 were assigned to Associate Editors after a preliminary review. At the time of this writing (April 2016) of that 500 about 120 have been accepted, 115 rejected, 187 withdrawn, and 71 are in progress. These statistics compare well with 2015 at this time, and indicate that we are again on-track to accept about 20% of papers submitted in 2015.

In 2015 we took a hiatus from publishing "The Flow" to resolve some editorial issues, and we have just resumed publishing. “The Flow” is intended to help center readers on the ASME, and provide deadline prompts. I invite any feedback/suggestions from the membership. During this last fiscal year a number of Associate Editors finished their terms; Edward Bennett (2009-2015; 2nd term), Ali Beskok (2012-2015; 2nd term); Prashanta Dutta (2012-2015); Ali Beskok (2009-2015; 2nd term), Pavlos Vlachos (2009-2015; 2nd term), Meng Wang (2008-2014; 2nd term), Dimitris Drikikas (2008-2014; 2nd term), and Michael Olsen (2011-2014) have each moved on to different endeavors and challenges, and we greatly thank each one for their contributions and work for the JFE. It has been great interacting with and getting to know each of these Associate Editors over the years. They are indeed experts in the various areas they represented on our behalf, and will be missed by the Journal of Fluids Engineering team. The journal released three special issues during the last year. We would like to express gratitude to the many guest editors who assisted with reviewing and tracking the papers for each of these special issues. The first special issue, released in April of 2014, was for Immersed Boundary Methods, headed by Charlie Zheng; guest Editor Elias Balaras from George Washington University, helped with papers for this special issue. In June of 2014 the second special issue, honoring the 70th birthday of M. Yousuff Hussaini, was released. This special issue was headed by Ye Zhou. Most recently, in September of 2014, a special issue for the 13th International Workshop on the Physics of Compressible Turbulent Mixing was released. This special issue was headed by Dimitris Drikakis, with guest editors David Youngs and Robin Williams of the Atomic Weapons Establishment, Oleg Schilling from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Stuart Dalziel from University of Cambridge. Upcoming special issues include one honoring Clayton Crowe headed by Efstathios Michaelides.released one special issue for the IWPCTM13 last fiscal year in September 2014. This special issue was headed by Dimitris Drikakis. Guest editors Stuart Dalziel, Oleg Schilling, Robin Williams, David Youngs and Prashanta Dutta assisted with this special issue. In April 2016 E.E. Michaelides headed a special issue in memory of Clayton Crowe. In addition S.A. Sharif and Francine Battaglia are working to publish a special issue for the 90th Anniversary of the FED and Oleg Schilling is working on a special issue for exceptional papers from the IWPCTM 2014. We wish to welcome the all of the new Associate Editors to our team Oleg Schilling from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Kwang-Young Kim from Inha University, South Korea, and Alfredo Soldati from University di Udine, Italy, Elias Balaras from George Washington University, Mhamed Boutaous from INSA Lyon, Daniel Livescu from Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Praveen Ramaprabahu from University of North Carolina Charlotte. As with all fluid systems, the Journal is committed to increase submissions, quality, and response to authors. To this end we continue to use a policy of Editor “pre-screening” papers when they are first submitted to give quick feedback about manuscripts that are obviously deficient. Such deficiencies typically include: poor English (the responsibility of the author); formatting as a conference publication rather than for the Journal {https://journaltool.asme.org/Help/AuthorHelp/WebHelp/JournalsHelp.htm}; “work-in-progress” rather than completed; “observational” conclusions rather than careful analysis and discussion; and, use of commercial software to create a “report” rather than an archival set of results of value/use to the JFE readership. To help authors with the criteria for use of commercial software the JFE published an article {Andrews,M., “Guidelines for Use of Commercial Software and Diagnostics in Articles for the Journal of Fluids Engineering,” ASME J Fluids Eng., vol. 133, iss. 1, pp010201-010202.}, and I strongly encourage authors to review that article for helpful guidance and to pay attention to the ASME requirement on reporting numerical uncertainty {Celik, I.B., Ghia, U., Roache, P.J., Freitas, C.J., Coleman, H., et al, “Procedure for Estimation and Reporting of Uncertainty Due to Discretization in CFD Applications,” ASME J Fluids Eng., vol. 130, iss. 7, pp0780011-0780014.}. Associate Editors are also encouraged to do their own prescreen, with more technical depth, prior to sending to reviewers, and to let authors (or the editorial office) know of any deficiencies that might significantly impact the likelihood of a successful

Page | 7

review. The spirit of these pre-screenings is provide faster feedback to authors, and provide better quality papers for reviewers to consider (our reviewers are some of our future authors). We also encourage authors, whose conference papers have been ranked “journal quality”, to consider extending their paper and submitting to the Journal (after formatting to the Journal requirements, and after the conference has finished so authors may update with any concerns expressed at the conference presentation). It is my experience that most conference papers report “work-in-progress” and typically need additional results before they become of archival value. So, the submission of a conference paper straight to the Journal (after the conference) is likely to be unsuccessful under a pre-screen or review. However, closer coupling of conferences to the JFE is beneficial to both. One last significant item concerns excess page charges, these charges are not currently being assessed, but the (substantial) color print charges will remain. Thus, the previous limit of 9 journal pages is not currently in effect, but authors should be careful of excessively long papers where readers might lose interest. I close by thanking my 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 any questions. If you see me at a conference please do not hesitate to visit.

Fluids Applications and Systems Technical Committee’s (FASTC) mission is to promote the advancement and dissemination of fluids engineering research and technology in several wide-ranging single- and multi-disciplinary topic areas. These areas include such traditional disciplines as fluid power systems, turbomachinery, automotive flows, and industrial fluid mechanics, and can include less traditional topics such as environmental engineering, geophysical flows, extra-terrestrial physics, chemical processing, alternative energy systems, fluid vibrations and acoustics. Subjects related to multiphase flow (droplets, bubbles, pores, and particles), combustion, radiation, convective heat and mass transfer, boundary layer transition, non-Newtonian flows, and code development are invited. Specific industrial applications include: blowers, compressors, pumps, bubble columns, distillation columns, extruders, fluidized beds, furnaces, combustors, gasifiers, pulse detonation systems, reciprocating engines, solids conveying and drying, trickle bed reactors, and turbines. Specific environmental applications include: alternative energy systems, atmospheric and oceanic flows, contaminant transport, groundwater

It was another good year for micro- and nano-scale fluid dynamics at the IMECE. This year the micro/nano fluid dynamics sessions had a total of 13 talks. 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/talks outside of USA. The 2015 Microfluidics forum was organized by Debjyoti Banerjee from Texas A&M University, with help from Scott Thompson from Mississippi State University and Michael Schertzer from Rochester Institute of Technology. Michael Schertzer from Rochester Institute of Technology is taking the lead for 2016 with helps from Scott Thompson from Mississippi State University. Invited talk is an important part of the IMECE meeting, and this past year the Forum attracted an outstanding researcher, Prof. David Erickson from Cornell University. Prof. Eirckson gave an interesting and engaging talk and participated in discussions and networking. The speaker was brought in by the keynote committee of Hongwei Sun (U. Massachusetts Lowell) and Prodip K Das (Newcastle University, UK). This coming year’s invited talks will be organized by Mohammad Robi Hossan (University of Central Oklahoma), and Prodip K Das from Newcastle University, United Kingdom). The Microfluidics forum also has two awards: a Best Paper Award and a Best Student Presentation Award. J. Upadhyay, D.S. Park, K.E. Thompson. D.E. Nikitopoulos were awarded the Best Paper Award for their work on the “3D Measurements of Nano-Particle Transport in Complex 2.5D Micro Models”. Kun Li (Northeast University, China) was awarded the Best Student Presentation Award. To select the best presentations and papers, feedback from session chairs was collected and compiled by the awards committee including. This coming year’s award committee will consist of Mohammad Robi Hossan (Central Oklahoma University) and Nazmul Islam (Univ. Texas, Brownsville). In 2016 the IMECE will be held in Phoenix, Arizona and the organizers are currently processing the papers and sessions for this event. The Micro and Nano Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee is looking forward to the meeting and broadening the impact of the division.

Multiphase Flow Technical Committee Deborah Pence, Chair and Joseph

Katz, Vice-Chair A number of flows fall under the category of multiphase flows. The applications are far reaching and include biological, environmental, and industrial, just to name a few. The focus of the Multiphase Flow Technical Committee (MFTC) is to advance knowledge in all aspects of multiphase flow, whether it involves fundamental research or improvement upon techniques focused on measurements, experiments, simulations, modeling or applications. The advancement of knowledge is primarily achieved by bringing the multiphase community together to create, sponsor, and organize symposia and fora at engineering conferences. The two primary conferences in which the MFTC is involved are the International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) and the Fluids Engineering Division Summer Meeting (FEDSM), with a larger number of symposia and fora offered at the summer meeting.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Technical Committee Ning Zhang, Chair and Elia Merzari, 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, 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 the CFDTC sponsors and co-sponsors 7 symposia: Symposium on Applications in CFD, Symposium on Development and Applications of Immersed Boundary Methods, Symposium on DNS, LES, and Hybrid RANS/LES Methods, International Symposium on Fluid-Structure Interaction and Flow-Induced Noise in Industrial Applications, Symposium on Algorithms and Applications for High Performance CFD Computation, Symposium on CFD Verification and Validation (co-sponsor), and Symposium on Uncertainty Quantification in Flow Measurements and Simulations (co-sponsor). At the IMECE meeting the CFDTC sponsors and co-sponsors 3 symposia: 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 Symposia and Panel 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. A new CFDTC co-sponsored Forum on Multiphase Flow with Bio-Applications had its first meetings at the 2015 IMECE. The forum focus on biological systems and their applications is attracting interest from the multiphase flow community. Typical examples include boiling or cooling using bio-inspired approaches, targeted drug delivery with magnetic nanoparticles, thrombus formation in cardiovascular systems, bubble cloud cavitation in ultrasonic surgery, cavitating jets for algae oil extraction, etc. These or similar kinds of applications pose challenges and urge the new developments of both computational models and experimental techniques of multiphase flows. This forum aims to create a multi-disciplinary platform to exchange new ideas and review recent progresses among researchers and engineers dedicated to the development of computational or experimental multiphase fluid dynamics with focuses on bio-applications. It was a success for its first meetings with two technical sessions. CFDTC actively participated the new graduate student paper competition program. The current chair and vice chair helped student awardees Mr. David Park and Mr. Adam Oler by giving them feedback and suggestions according to their research and by providing opportunities to review ASME conference papers. We believe the TC’s involvements with the student scholars will have very positive impacts on their future professional developments. 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. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to contact Dr. Ning Zhang (nzhang@mcneese.edu), CFDTC Chair or Dr. Elia Merzari (emerzari@anl.gov), CFDTC Vice Chair.

Fluid Measurement and Instrumentation Technical Committee F. Javier Diez, Chair and Martin Wosnik, Vice-Chair

The mission of the Fluid Measurement and Instrumentation Technical Committee (FMITC) is to provide a venue for the Fluids Engineering Division (FED) to focus on measurement and instrumentation issues relevant to fluid flows. Modern fluids engineering embraces a broad spectrum of problems: from the relatively simple case of isothermal, incompressible, single phase flow 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 the IMECE and the FED Summer Meeting. The time and date of these meetings are announced in the conference program. Elections for FMITC chair and vice-chair will be held during the FEDSM2016 meeting. FMITC will organize the following symposiums and forums as an integral part of the 2016 FEDSM 2016 (jointly with HTD, ICNMM), to be held on July 10-14th, 2016 in Washington, D.C.:

• Symposium on Non-Invasive Measurements in Single and Multiphase Flow • Forum on Fluid Measurements and Instrumentation • Symposium on the Fluid Dynamics of Wind Energy • Workshop on Measurement Uncertainty

Further information about the symposium and forums is available at http://www.asmeconferences.org/FEDSM2016/ FMITC will also be active at IMECE2016, to be held Nov. 11-17th 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona to organize or co-sponsor the following symposiums:

Promode R Bandyopadhyay

The recipient of the 2015 Fluids Engineering Award is Dr. Promode R Bandyopadhyay. Dr. Promode R Bandyopadhyay is currently a Senior Research Scientist at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport, Rhode Island. He was a Program Officer at the Cognitive, Neural and Biomolecular Science and Technology Division of the Human Systems Science and Technology Department of the Office of Naval Research (2000-2002). He was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Cambridge University Engineering Department and at the University of Houston. He holds Doctorate degrees from the University of Cambridge (1978) and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (1974), a Master’s degree from Indian Institute of Science and Technology Shibpur (1970) and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Bengal (1968). He received the 2015 ASME Fluids Engineering Award and the 2006 ASME Biennial Freeman Scholar Award. He received the 2007 Department of the Navy Top Navy Scientist Award and the 2006 Naval Sea Systems Command Division Newport Excellence in Science Award. In 1993, he received the NASA Technology Utilization and Application Award. He was an Associate Editor of the ASME Journal of Fluids Engineering and AIAA Journal, and a Guest Editor of IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering. Currently, he is a Member of the Editorial Board of Scientific Reports, a Nature Publication Group journal. He holds 16 patents, has written 7 review and 60 journal articles, four of which are cited in 12 text books. Bandyopadhyay leads a multi-disciplinary engineering group in mentoring and bridging of biological sciences and naval engineering. His efforts have led to the maturing of sciences into emergent technologies such as Flapping Fin Propulsion Technology, Microbial Fuel Cells for littoral powering of instruments, and the demonstration of underwater propulsion using olivo-cerebellar dynamic controllers. He led the US-Russia-UK research teams on compliant coating drag reduction. His Cambridge work (with M R Head)—a classic experiment—clearly showed the preponderance of hairpin vortices in turbulent boundary layers and the Reynolds number thinning effects. His recent unsteady analytical modeling shows that there is a large scale spatio-temporal self-regulated coherence in the low Reynolds number turbulent boundary layers of sharks and dolphins and in the optimal swimming of animals that use flapping fins, further showing that the skins of sharks and dolphins delay the disorganization onset of wall-vorticity using the self-referential phase reset mechanism which is used by animals for coordination of muscles to undertake tasks such as moving an object. He has invented a sloshing propulsor that co-locates the unsteady and steady lifting mechanisms of nature and engineering in a conventional looking propulsor).
