17th International Conference on Thermal Engineering and Thermogrammetry (THERMO)

6th to 8th of July, 2011
Budapest University of Technology and Economics(BME).
Budapest, XI.Műegyetem rkpt.3.,Hungary

Download 1st announcement

Since 1977 a successful series of Symposia has been organised by our Society every year. At the beginning these events were named "Symposium on Thermogrammetry" after a newly developed branch of thermal mapping methods which played a significant role in the program. As the scope of the symposia widened in 1982 they received the new name "Symposium on thermo technical measurements".
Due to the broad and increasing interest shown by the international thermal engineering and physician communities, in 1987 it was already organised as the International Conference on Thermal Engineering and Thermogrammetry (THERMO). This conference is a series of biennial meetings. The Conference is intended to be an event worthy of the attention of all engineers, scientists, physicians and researchers who are involved in the solution of thermal or energy related problems, as well as in the applications of thermal imaging.

OBJECTIVES
The developments of measurement theory and technologies help the energy- conscious design of thermal engineering equipment and processes as well as the better understanding of thermal phenomena in living organisms.
The Conference will cover topics both the field of theory and application including new measurement concepts; transducer technique; thermal mapping; contact, optical and IR imaging; biomedical and biotechnological applications; thermal informatics, automatic methods and systems for industrial energy management and process control; heat loss detection and analysis; heat and mass transfer; utilization of alternative energy; thermophysical properties as well as the common practice of thermal engineering.
This Conference will provide the latest information on the above topics together with a good opportunity for personal discussions among experts in the fields of energy conservation, control of energy release and loss, protection of human environment, medical and veterinary applications, remote control through infrared sensors.

MAIN TOPICS
The structure of the sessions will be fixed after receiving the papers, but the topics will cover the following fields:
General thermal engineering; theory of measurements; thermal informatics, thermo-CAD and its applications; advanced thermodinamics and the new tendencies associated: industrial energy management and process control systems; practice of thermal engineering; infra-red imaging science & technology: thermogrammetry, micro- and nanoscale thermal phenomena and sensing techniques, thermal defectometry; applied thermo optics;

Ecoulements et Transferts dans les systèmes en rotation

télécharger l'annonce/bulletin d'inscription

Les systèmes tournants sont largement présents dans de nombreux secteurs industriels. On peut citer par exemple le cas des moteurs électriques, des alternateurs, des turbines à gaz ou encore les turbomachines. Ces systèmes sont soumis à des écoulements particuliers où les forces centrifuges et de Coriolis jouent un rôle dominant et où les transferts convectifs deviennent de ce fait très complexes. Dans les machines électriques par exemple, l’évacuation des flux de chaleurs engendrés par les pertes par effet Joule nécessite une bonne maîtrise des écoulements et des transferts convectifs pour garantir une gestion thermique efficace de ces machines. L’objet de cette journée est de faire le point sur les avancées récentes dans le domaine de la simulation numériques des écoulements tournants et notamment la bonne représentation des instabilités de ces écoulements. La journée vise également une synthèse des méthodes expérimentales adaptées aux études thermiques et dynamiques de ces écoulement via des moyens de mesures performants comme la thermographie infrarouge adaptée aux objets soumis à des grandes vitesses de rotation, la PIV, la PLIF ou encore les LCD.
Lors de cette journée, la matinée sera réservée à des exposés scientifiques et l’après midi à l’analyse de la faisabilité de mise en place d’un projet ANR commun entre plusieurs laboratoires et dédié à l’étude des écoulements et des transferts dans les systèmes tournants.
