WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 2010
10:45am – 11:45am Grand Salon Room
“Some Continuing Challenges in
Computational Turbulent Convection”
Speaker: Kemal (Kemo) Hanjalic,
Sapienza University, Rome, Italy
Kemal (Kemo) Hanjalic, MSc (Univ. Birmingham, UK), PhD
(Imperial College, London, UK), holds currently a (EU) Marie Curie
Chair in Computer Modelling and Simulation at the Sapienza
University of Rome, Italy. He served as Professor and Head of the
Thermal and Fluids Sciences in the Department of Multi-scale
Physics at TU Delft, The Netherlands (1994-2005), Professor at
the Michigan University of Technology, USA (1993-1994),
DAAD/DFG Guest Professor at Darmstadt University of
Technology, (2005-2006) and University of Erlangen, Germany
(1991-1993). Prior to 1991, he served as Professor and Dean of
Mechanical Engineering and Institute Director at the University
of Sarajevo.
Prof. Hanjalic has published extensively on topics of fluid flow,
turbulence measurements, modeling and simulation, heat
transfer and combustion, magneto-fluid-dynamics, and has
been internationally recognized as a major contributor to the
development of mathematical models of turbulence. He has also
worked on development of equipment and processes in thermal
engineering: piston and screw compressors, entrained coalgasification,
pulse combustors, detonation wave technique for
deposit removal (patented and used in coal-fired boilers) and has
consulted with industries in Europe, the USA and Singapore.
Currently, he is Editor-in-Chief of the “Flow, Turbulence and
Combustion” journal (Springer), and a member of the editorial
and advisory boards of a number of other international journals.
His honors include the Max Plank Research Award (Germany) for
achievements in the research of turbulence, a D.Sc. (Eng) from
the Univ. London (UK) and an honorary doctorate from the
University of Reims, Champagne and Ardenne (France). He is
an elected International Fellow of Royal Academy of Engineering
(FREng) (UK) and Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP), of
ASME and of ICHMT.

PLENARY SESSIONS
1:30pm – 2:30pm Grand Salon Room
“The Future of Pumping Machinery”
Speaker: Paul Cooper
Paul Cooper has spent 50 years in the pump industry, first in the
fluid dynamical design of aircraft fuel pumps and inducers for
TRW, then in R&D on hydraulics and cavitation for the Flowserve
Corporation. His designs and ideas have been incorporated into
many centrifugal and rotary pumps and turbines. He remains
active in the fluid machinery field as a consultant.
Dr. Cooper holds a B.S degree in Mechanical Engineering from
Drexel University, an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. from Case
Western Reserve University. He is a Life Fellow of the ASME, a
recipient of the society’s Henry R. Worthington Medal for
achievement in the field of pumping machinery, its Fluid
Machinery Design Award, and it’s Fluids Engineering Award. He
has lectured extensively, has written many papers, is co-editor of
the Pump Handbook, and holds several patents.
