ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL TOPICAL MEETING ON NUCLEAR REACTOR THERMAL HYDRAULICS

NURETH-11, OCTOBER 2-6, 2005, AVIGNON, FRANCE

TECHNICAL PROGRAM ORGANIZATION OF NURETH-11

2-6 OCTOBER 2005, AVIGNON, FRANCE

Prepared by Hervé Lemonnier and Jean-Claude Bouchter (CEA) (Pittsburgh, PA, June 13, 2004)

The purpose of this paper is to summarize the main steps of the organization of the Technical Program of Nureth-11 Conference. It is primarily an update of the previous document (A proposal for the technical organization of NURETH11 by Jean-Claude Bouchter and Hervé Lemonnier, distributed at the ANS/THD PC meeting of November 2003 in New Orleans, LA). Mains changes are indicated by italicised section headings. It details the following items:

Agenda Rationale

• List of the Conference Topics

• Technical Program Committee Constitution

• Paper Submission, Selection and Review Processes

• Communication

• Advertising, Call for Papers

Appendixes are provided which detail the following topics,

• List of Key Dates

• List of Topics

• Tentative List of Committees

1. Agenda rationale

The agenda spans roughly over two years. August and July are periods of very low activity in Europe; they have been removed from the effective preparation time. The agenda is built backwards, starting from the Deadline for Paper Final Form Ready, which has been fixed on June 1, 2005. This is 4 months before the conference and only 2 months if summer vacations period is not considered, which provides some elasticity in the planning to cope with possible organization delays.

The following actions where then considered with the corresponding duration,

• Notification of paper acceptance by the session chairs 1 month

• Manuscript revision by the authors according to the referees comments 2 months

• Review of the papers organized by the Session Chairs 2 months

• Manuscript production by the authors 3 months

• Selection of abstracts 3 months

• Abstract submission 3 months

One real-paper call for papers is planned. Mailing lists are under constitution from those of previous Nureth meetings and other organization mailing lists such as ANS/THD, EMSI, EU-funded projects database and other sources. This paper mailing is planned two months before the beginning of abstracts collection and reminders through E-Mail will be issued every two

weeks. Therefore, the last call for papers must be issued on February 2004, and the first call for paper, 2 months before on December 2003. The corresponding overall planning is shown in Appendix 1.

Work done and difficulties encountered during the period 11/2003 and 06/2004

The paper version of the call for paper has been issued on March 2004. It has been subsidised to Package Organization which in charge of the practical organization of the Conference. More than 2000 entries in a list of contacts have been gathered from the following sources: ANS/THD membership list, Nureth9, Nureth10, IHTC12, attendees, Leaders of European contracts on nuclear thermal-hydraulics, and various other European personal sources such as members of EMSI. ASME members should have been reached via its web site.

Mailing has been erroneously stamped at low cost and 4 to 6 weeks have been necessary to reach the target. Abstract submission deadline extension to June 30, 2004 has been thought to correct satisfactorily this problem. General e-mailing has also been issued at the end of April 2004. Another one is planned one week before the deadline. The Technical Program Committee under constitution has been regularly solicited for assistance in promoting the conference.

2. List of topics of the Conference

A provisional list of topics has been elaborated from the Nureth-9 and Nureth-10 lists of sessions and some hot topics have also been considered. Owing to France commitment in waste management issues, the thermal-hydraulics problems related to these activities have been included. There is also a strong activity on microscale modeling and this topic has also been emphasized. A detailed list of topics is provided in Appendix 2. The main categories of subjects are as follows,

• Two-phase flow and heat transfer fundamentals

• Code developments

• Severe accidents

• Advanced code developments

• Operation and safety of existing reactors

• Experimental thermal-hydraulics

• Advanced reactors thermal-hydraulics (Gen. IV, Inpro and fusion)

• Waste management thermal-hydraulics

• Thermal-hydraulics of non electricity generating nuclear equipment

Various additions and corrections have been made on this list on the requests suggested by the members of the TPC. This list as it appears on the Conference web site is attached as Appendix 2

3. Technical Program Committee Constitution

The ensemble of the potential session organizers constitutes the Technical Program Committee. Hervé Lemonnier (CEA) who appointed two co-chairs to cover tightly all the nuclear thermal-hydraulics activity sectors chairs it: Luigi Catalani from Framatome-ANP will represent the industrial sector and Jean-Claude Micaelli (Institute for Research on Nuclear Safety) will cover safety. The three chairs together span all the aspects of thermal-hydraulics: research, safety and industry.

A list of potential Session Organizers is being elaborated from the Technical Program Committees of Nureth9 and Nureth10 and some other sources. Each of these potential Session Organizers will be soon contacted and will be asked to indicate their favored fields of activity according to the above-mentioned List of Topics. Session organizers will be formally appointed when the abstracts are received, approved and categorized by the TP Chairs. A Plenary Meeting of the TP Committee will be held in France on December 2004 where accepted abstracts will be distributed among the Session Organizers for review. 60 to 80 Session Organizers are needed so that each of them has an acceptable load of 4 to 6 papers to take care of.

Communication between the Session Organizers and the TP Chairs is direct. It has not been thought useful to appoint Lead Session Organizers to whom the timekeeping and the bookkeeping or the Reviewers activity would have been delegated. The TP Chair with no intermediate level will directly deal this process. It is believed that this organization will avoid any bottlenecking of the process since the TPC will be full time dedicated to their task during the final stage of the Conference preparation. However, in case of permanent of temporary inability of the TP Chair, Do-Lists and Check-Lists will be provided to keep the process going normally by a deputy TP Chair.


Approximately 300 personal letters of invitation to the Technical Program Committee have been sent. The initial list was that of November 2003 and has been augmented according to the suggestions of various members of the TPC. Special thanks are due to Professor Karen Vierow (Purdue University), Professor Proskouriakov and Dr. Mukhin (NPEI Moscow, Russia) and Dr. Nian Cao (NPIC, China) for their dedication and their comprehensive listing of contacts in Japan, China and Russia. Today 110 persons have accepted the invitation, most of them volunteered to organize a session. A list is shown in Appendix 3 with the details of the replies.

Some letters seem to have been lost without any possibility to identify them. A call to the already appointed Members has been made to answer possible colleagues about the potential membership to the TPC. The list attached in Appendix 3 has also been posted to the TPC web page. A second wave of letters and reminders will be prepared in July.

Nominations. As decided at the THD/PC meeting of November 2003, Jong Kim has been appointed as a cochair of the Conference to represent the ANS, Yassin Hassan has been appointed as a cochair of the TPC to represent the ASME and Per Peterson has been appointed a cochair to the TPC to represent the ANS

4. Paper submission, selection and review

4.1 Abstract submission and selection

Authors are invited to submit an abstract proposal directly to the Technical Program Chairs at the meeting E-Mail address: [email protected]. In addition to the abstract, the authors are invited to provide a list of potential referees with affiliations, mailing address and E-Mail address in order to help the session organizers with the review process. This information will be requested through an Abstract Information File. The authors may also refer to the list of Topics to submit their paper. The TP Chairs immediately acknowledge receipt of the abstract, set a log number to the paper, check whether the abstract fits the conference topics, ask possibly missing information, and issue the Abstract Acceptance Notification. The TP Chair constitutes the List of Reviewers from the information sent by the authors.

4.2 Paper submission and review

The authors will be instructed to send their manuscript directly to the designated Session Chair with an updated version of the Abstract Information Form, which becomes the Paper Information Form. The web site will mirror this information to the authors. The Session Organizers send the papers for review to at least three different referees. They are responsible for getting at least two peer reviews and are advised by the referees on the Archival Value of the paper. The Session Organizers update the Paper Information Form according to their own selection of reviewers and copy it to the Technical Program Chair for bookkeeping and updating the List of Reviewers File. This file will indicate the load of individual reviewers and help the Session Organizers to prevent overloading individual referees and to select alternate referees. This file will be available from the TP Committee web page. Detailed instructions for the review process will be made available to the Session Organizers along with various communication help.

4.3 Paper acceptance

The Session Organizers collect the reports on reviewed papers, send them to the concerned corresponding authors and request a revised version of the manuscript when necessary. The revised manuscript is sent to the Session Chair with a Revised Paper Information File reporting on the modifications of the manuscript or possible rebuttal of some of the referees’

7

comments. Templates of this file will also be provided. The Session Organizer states on the paper acceptance may ask for minor changes and issue the Paper Notification of Acceptance. Each Session Organizer sends the Final Form of the Paper to TP Chair as soon as it is ready with a notification to the Corresponding Author.


The paper section is not yet active. It will be ready for October 1, 2004. Authors will be individually notified by e-mail when this section becomes ready. 185 Abstracts have been received today with quite a low French participation (less than 40). Specific e-mail reminders have been sent to the French chairs. Only 22 abstracts were fully processed and accepted as shown by the conference web site.

5. Communication

Abstract proposals are sent to the TP Chair at the Conference address: [email protected]. Accepted abstracts are next collected and sent to a dedicated web page of the Conference Web Site by the TP Chair. The TP Chair with the help of the TP Co-Chairs performs a preliminary sorting of the abstracts. Each accepted abstract is associated with a Main Category of Topic as defined in section 2.

A Plenary TP Committee meeting joining the Session Organizers will be organized in December 2004 where the association of papers with a dedicated Session Organizer is definitely approved. After this meeting, the Session Organizers will notify the authors to submit to them their manuscript.

The Conference web site (http://nureth11.com/) provides the following forms and templates for the Authors among other practical information such as a link to the registration Web Site.

• Abstract Template showing the Guidelines for Abstract Submission

• Abstract Information Form

• Paper Template showing the Guidelines for Paper Submission

• Paper Information Form

• Copyright Forms when necessary

A Separate Web Page (http://nureth11.com/tpc) also shows the following information to the Session Organizers

• Abstract General Information File showing the association of each paper to the concerned Session Organizer, pointing towards the Accepted Abstract and corresponding properly filled out versions of Abstract Information Forms and Paper Information Forms.

• Reviewer List showing the papers being reviewed by each Referee

• Instructions for the review process

• Various Communication Forms with the Authors and Referees to help the Session Organizers such as a request for review indicating the guidelines for review, review form template, etc.


No technical difficulties were encountered within this phase. The conference web site is being functional since March 2004. The TPC Chair operates the web site only. Collection of abstracts and the automatic acknowledging of the submission mails are functional. Communication with the authors for the correctness of the submission is the responsibility of the TPC Chair who updates, the list of accepted abstracts, the list of corresponding authors, the list of the contacts for information requests (subscribe nureth11) and the list of the potential referees. Accepted abstracts are placed on the web site as they are accepted. Most of the authors comply with the submission requirements. Abstract submissions, which do not comply “bounce” off the site and are generally re-submitted in a correct form. There seems to be no particular difficulties with the organization of this phase.

The TPC web page is under construction and the protected access procedure is being checked, full scale now. A preliminary testing permitted to fix the major technical difficulties and it seems that there is no major problem to access this page with MS Internet Explorer, whereas Netscape seems more sensitive to local server security settings.

Special events.

Eric Royer (CEA, France) and Francesco d’Auria (Pisa Univ., Italy) proposed to organize a special session on the AIEA VVER-1000 transients benchmarks. A special page links the authors to the description of these international benchmarks and the session organizers took the responsibility to advertise this special session in addition to the regular mailing.

Didier Jamet (CEA/Grenoble, France) took the responsibility to organize the Open Forum on interface tracking methods. A selection of 35 test cases previously submitted for publication in Multiphase Science and Technology (286 pages) is placed on the web site and the authors are invited to register for participating. The forum organizer is internationally known and will organize the promotion of this event based on existing working groups activity in France and Europe. The final organization has been set up recently and the active phase should start in July. This is a deadline free activity. A special session in or off the Conference will be organized depending on the attendance. Posters/Oral presentations will be chosen depending on the attendance. It is not considered to include the results in the Proceedings of the Conference. A separate publication may be envisaged if the presented results are deemed of sufficient value.

A benchmark on two-phase water hammer has been proposed based on the experimental results of the Wahaload European Project. A short description of the physical situation of interest has been placed on the dedicated web page and there are already 5 spontaneous registrations for this event, which is also deadline free. This activity is still under the

9

responsibility of the TPC Chair and Guillaume Serre of CEA/Grenoble may be asked to take over.

Invited lectures.

Dick Lahey confirmed he would prepare a Closing Invited Lecture on Sonofusion (cavitation induced fusion) with a full bunch of new results he promised to reserve for Nureth11.

Novak Zuber confirmed his commitment to the Introductory Invited Lecture. The main theme is the uncertainties management in safety codes.

New themes?

A Recent paper in Science co-authored by Orzag, claims real advances (Science, 301, Aug. 1, 2003, p. 633, http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/301/5633/633.pdf) in turbulence modelling by introducing the eddy viscosity concept in the Boltzmann equation rather than in the Navier-Stokes equations. Botltzmann equations are numerically solved by the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and simulation of complex flows are presented at Re=106. We plan to attract also the LBM community through the Open Forum on test cases and the opportunity of an invited lecture on this subject may be considered.

6. Advertising, call for papers

Advertising the Conference is the responsibility of the TP Chairs as well as of every member of the Technical Program and Steering Committees. A copy of the Call for paper and the Conference announcement will be posted to the Conference Web Site for the purpose of properly advertising the Conference.


No definite difficulties in addition to those mentioned in section 1. Using regular e-mailed reminders will exert constant pressure on TPC members and the general public.

7. Financial aspects and administrative matters

The preliminary budget of the Conference is shown in Appendix 5. The ANS/TM Information Questionnaire is shown in Appendix 4.


The preliminary budget is unchanged since November 2003. 3 special requests from India and China for fees waiver or for travelling support has been received and issued from TPC members. No definite answer was made but this item will be put on the agenda of the next preparation meeting.

Topical Meeting Questionnaire updates

Sponsorship of ASME has been included. Abstract submission extended deadline has been indicated. Approval of budget if necessary, has been updated to June 2004.
