From 9th to 11th September 2002, the Third Inter-national Symposium on Ultrasonic DopplerMethods for Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Engi-neering (3rd ISUD) brought together, at the SwissFederal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL),Lausanne, Switzerland researchers and profes-sionals from the whole world to discuss theirresults from the application of the ultrasonicDoppler methods. On this occasion, two PhD Stu-dents from the EPFL were distinguished as jointprize-winners of the “ISUD 2002 - Asahi Ryunet-su Student Paper Award”.

After the first two editions of the ISUD,which were held in 1996 and 1999 at the PaulScherrer Institute (PSI), Villigen, Switzerland, theLaboratory of Hydraulic Constructions (LCH) ofthe new School of Architecture, Civil and Envi-ronmental Engineering (ENAC) of the EPFL orga-nized the third edition of the Symposium. In a cer-tain sense, present Ultrasonic Doppler techniqueusers came to the place where some of the basisof this technique were elaborated in the eightiesin the medical domain at the instigation of Pro-fessor J.-J. Meister of the Laboratory of Biome-chanics and Cellular Biophysics.

The ultrasonic Doppler method forvelocity profile measurements has recentlyshown its potential in the fields of general fluidmechanics and fluid engineering. Its applicationhas been broadened from fundamental researchto industrial use. It is attracting increasing inter-est from physicists and fluid engineers for its useas a research tool and the number of users isgrowing. The purpose of the Symposium was toexchange information on applications of theultrasonic Doppler method to a variety of flowconfigurations and liquids including industrialmeasurements. The Symposium also broughttogether researchers from all over the world todiscuss the results of their applications of theultrasonic Doppler method to fluid mechanicsand fluid engineering research. Its goal was topresent the latest results that are based on theultrasonic Doppler technique.

Prof. Y. Takeda of Hokkaido University,Dr. G. King of the University of Warwick andDr. G. De Cesare of the EPFL formed the Organiz-ing Committee assisted by the ten memberScientific Committee.

Forty-three participants coming fromeight different countries made the journey toLausanne. The represented institutions were the

Technical Universities of Graz and Prague, theUniversities of Gifu, Keio, Hokkaido and theTokyo Institute of Technology in Japan, the Uni-versity of Warwick in the United Kingdom, theUniversity of Missouri-Rolla and the Ohio StateUniversity in the USA, two German research cen-ters in Dresden and Karlsruhe, the Swedish Insti-tute for Food and Biotechnology, the Engineer-ing School of the Canton of Vaud, the PSI, theETHZ, the EPFL, ACQIRIS SA, Bonnard & GardelConsulting Engineers, Bühler AG and MET-FLOWSA in Switzerland, the Tokyo Electric Power Co.and Kanomax Japan Inc.

The submitted papers presented the lat-est results that are based on the ultrasonicDoppler technique. In recent years non-Dopplerultrasonic measurement methods have emergedfor quantifying various physical parameters. Aspecial section has been dedicated to these appli-cations. The Symposium was held over threedays, from Monday to Wednesday, September 9- 11, 2002. The scientific program, divided into sixshort sessions, featured contributions in theform of 22 oral presentations of 20 minutes each,followed by a discussion at the end of the session.Emphasis was placed on discussions andexchange of experience.

Professor A. Schleiss, head of the hostingLaboratory of Hydraulic Constructions, openedthe Symposium. He welcomed the forty-threeparticipants and emphasized in his speech theimportance of this measurement technique thathas only recently been implemented in hydrauliclaboratory research. Professor P. Carpenter held

Hers-berger).After the technical sessions, the participants hadthe opportunity to visit the experimentalhydraulic laboratory of the EPFL with its state-of-the-art equipment that enables a vast range ofscale model studies such as flood control struc-tures, river training works, appurtenant structuresof dams, spillways, bottom outlets, water intakesand restitution in rivers and reservoirs, sedimenttransport and mobile river bed processes.

On Tuesday, two sessions were heldwith an intermediate keynote lecture given by U.Lemmin entitled “High Resolution 3-D AcousticDoppler Velocity and Sediment Flux Profiling inLaboratory and Environmental Studies: Potentialand Limits” revealing the capabilities of thenewly developed instrument system for bound-ary layer studies in the laboratory, rivers andlakes.

A. Tokuhiro opened the first Tuesday ses-sion giving “An Overview of Experimental Activ-ities at the Thermal Fluid Sciences Laboratory,University of Missouri-Rolla, USA”. J.

In order to promote student work in thefield of ultrasonic Doppler methods for fluidmechanics and fluid engineering, the organizingcommittee awarded the “ISUD 2002 - AsahiRyunetsu Student Paper Award” to two youngPhD student for their outstanding contributions,which were selected among nine nominatedpapers by the international jury, presided by G.King. The total prize sum amounts to 1’000 Swiss

Francs. The two award-winners are D. S. Hers-berger of the Laboratory of Hydraulic Construc-tion (LCH) and A. Kurniawan of the Environmen-tal Hydraulics Laboratory (LHE), both of the EPFL.

At this point we would like to acknowl-edge the contribution of all the authors, the invit-ed keynote lecturers and the members of theISUD Award Jury. Without them, there wouldhave been neither a Symposium nor an Award.We also thank the joint efforts of the Organizingand Scientific Committees. Furthermore ourgratitude goes to Met-Flow SA in Lausanne,Switzerland and Asahi Thermal and Fluid SystemLtd in Nagoya, Japan. Without their support, theSymposium excursion, student paper award andthe dinner would not have been possible.

The ISUD will maintain its communitystyle even with a growing number of users andexpanding application fields. The next ISUD willmove out of Switzerland and will take place inJapan. The Fourth International Symposium onUltrasonic Doppler Methods for Fluid Mechanicsand Fluid Engineering (4th ISUD) will be heldfrom 5 - 9 September 2004 in Sapporo, Japan. Itwill be embedded in the 2004 Annual Meeting ofthe Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers(JSME).
