OBJECTIVE

To provide a forum for the international thermal and fluid sciences communities to present and review the most recent developments in heat transfer and thermal control applied to modern, high-temperature gas turbine systems. To be presented are: experimental results and techniques, computational studies and methods, and design recommendations. Aspects of heat transfer in rotating machinery to be addressed include:

• combustor and transition section heat transfer,
• heat exchange to turbine airfoil and endwall surfaces within the gas path,
• stator internal heat transfer,
• disk cavity and blade internal flow and heat transfer,
• innovative cooling techniques, and
• heat exchange in turbines with combined cycles.

Thermal aspects of other sections of the turbine (e.g. the compressor) will also be included. The results of this conference should be valuable to researchers in heat transfer as well as to designers of gas turbine systems.

LOCATION

The symposium will be held at Golden Dolphin Holiday Village, in Çeþme, a resort place near Izmir, on the Aegean Coast of Turkey, which is very close to Ephesus, one of the archaeological gems of Western Turkey.

SCHEDULE OF DATES

KEYNOTE LECTURERS

The meeting will be in the form of a specialists' conference with a modest number of contributors and a great opportunity to interact on issues of importance in understanding and predicting heat transfer and flow in modern gas turbines.

Keynote talks include:

Acharya, Sumanta	Flow and heat transfer predictions for film cooling
Bunker, Ronald	A review of blade tip heat transfer
Chyu, Mingking *	Nozzle flow and heat transfer in endwall
Glezer, Boris/Mike Fox	Selection of a turbine cooling system applying multi-disciplinary design
Goldstein, Richard	Impingement heat transfer
Han, JC	Recent developments in turbine blade internal cooling
Langston, Lee	Secondary flows in axial turbines- A review
Leboeuf, Francis*	Simulation of turbulent flow and film cooling on blades
Martelli, Francesco	Unsteady flow modeling of a turbine stage
Owen, Mike	Some current research in rotating-disc systems
Shih, Tom	Modeling and simulation of gas turbine flow and heat transfer
Simon, Terry *	Transition on turbine blades
Weigand, Bernhard	Heat transfer technology for internal passages of air-cooled blades for heavy duty turbines
Yoshida, Toyoaki	Cooling systems for ultra high temperature turbines

SELECTION AND PUBLICATION OF PAPERS

Papers will be assessed for presentation at the symposium on the basis of a 600 word (2-3 pages including figures) extended abstract. They should not have been previously published. A bound volume of the abstracts will be provided to participants at the meeting. A guide for preparation of abstracts is given here.

The Proceedings of the symposium will be published by the New York Academy of Sciences. Review copies (in camera-ready format) of the full paper will be due on the opening day of the symposium. Authors are encouraged to bring preprints for distribution at the symposium.

Poster presentation at the meeting is also possible. Please write to Professor Goldstein for details.

Posters should have the size 1.2m (width) by 1m (height), maximum, should be readable at a distance, and contain more pictures than words.

ACCOMMODATION

All reservations in the Golden Dolphin Holiday Village must be made through the ICHMT Secretariat to obtain the Symposium discount rates. The room charges in US Dollars per person per night, including open-buffet breakfast and dinner, are:

Superior rooms have air-conditioning, mini-bar, and TV. There will be no charge for children aged between 0-6, and a 50 % discount for children aged between 7-12.

To reserve a room at the Golden Dolphin, please complete the form given here and send it to the ICHMT Secretariat. The payment can be made in the following manner:

• by bank transfer to the account number given below (send a copy of the transfer document), or
• by credit card transfer (complete the attached form, and send by fax, airmail or email), or
• by bank check payable to Faruk ARINC, ICHMT Secretary General (personal checks and Euro-checks are not acceptable).

It is highly desirable to make a reservation at the Golden Dolphin by 1 July, 2000, as rooms not reserved by then will be released and may be sold by the Golden Dolphin to other guests. No reservation in the Golden Dolphin will be accepted unless the room charge is received.

REGISTRATION

(A letter from a Faculty member certifying student status is required to obtain this discount)

Please send the Registration fee to the ICHMT Secretariat in a manner similar to that for the room charge. The fee covers the costs of the book of abstracts, the proceedings, a welcome reception, the symposium dinner, tea and coffee breaks during the meeting, and other organizational expenses, but does not include NOMAD Travel Agency charges for sightseeing tours and trips.

In case of cancellation after payment of the Registration Fee, a cancellation charge of $ 50 will be deducted and the balance will be refunded.

TOURS AND SOCIAL EVENTS

A welcome reception, a symposium dinner, an optional evening boat cruise on the Aegean, an accompanying persons' program, an optional guided tour to Ephesus, and post-symposium tours to Istanbul and Cappadocia will be arranged. Related information is given here.

Arrival and Departure: The Tourism Agency NOMAD will, on request, meet participants arriving at Izmir Airport (Adnan Menderes Airport). You must use the Travel Schedule below to inform the ICHMT Secretariat well in advance about your flight schedule, complete with date and time of your arrival and the name of the carrier. NOMAD will provide transportation from the airport directly to the Golden Dolphin, and from there back to Izmir airport when you are departing, at a cost of $ US 25 per person each way. Advance payment is not required. The distance is about 120 km, and the only other direct service from the Airport to Çeþme is by taxi, available at all hours, for a cost of approximately $ 60 US one way for up to 3 persons in daytime (double charge after midnight).

A representative of NOMAD will be present in the Golden Dolphin during the meeting.
