Advanced Computational Methods and Experiments in Heat Transfer X

In engineering design and development, reliable and accurate computational methods are requested to replace or complement expensive and time consuming experimental trial and error work. Tremendous advancements have been achieved during recent years due to improved numerical solutions of non-linear partial differential equations and computer developments to achieve efficient and rapid calculations. Nevertheless, to further progress in computational methods will require developments in theoretical and predictive procedures – both basic and innovative – and in applied research. Accurate experimental investigations are needed to validate the numerical calculations.

This book contains the edited versions of the papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on Advanced Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements in Heat Transfer and Mass Transfer held in Maribor, Slovenia in July 2008. The objective of this conference series is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of advanced topics, new approaches and application of advanced computational methods and experimental measurements to heat and mass transfer problems. The contributed papers are grouped in the following appropriate sections to provide better access for readers: Natural and forced convection; Heat exchangers; Advances in computational methods; Heat recovery; Heat transfer; Modelling and experiments.

Bengt Sundén

Bengt Sundén received his M.S. in 1973, Ph.D. in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in 1979, and docent in applied thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in 1980, all from Chalmers Universities of Technology, Goteborg, Sweden. He became Professor of Heat Transfer in 1992 at Lund University. Since 1995 he serves as the head of the Department of Energy Sciences, Lund University, Sweden.

His research topics are enhancement of heat transfer in compact heat exchangers, computational methods of convective flow and heat transfer in complex narrow geometries, combustion-related heat transfer including thermal radiation, gas turbine heat transfer (impinging jets, film cooling, ribbed ducts), evaporation and condensation in plate heat exchangers, thermal imaging techniques, PIV, and multiscale and multiphysics transport phenomena in fuel cells.

He has published more than 500 journal papers, books, and proceedings. He has also delivered many keynote and invited lectures. He has been editor of 25 books published by international publishing houses and author of two textbooks (one in Swedish, one in English).

He is involved in referee tasks for more than 40 international journals and has been active in several international and organizing committees and boards. He is also editor-in-chief for a book series, Developments in Heat Transfer (also published by WIT Press). In addition, he is active editor for four journals. He is a fellow of the ASME and a 2011 recipient of the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award.
