Multiphase flows, involving the simultaneous flow of different phases (liquids, gases, and solids), are a common phenomenon in a wide range of industrial processes such as oil and gas production, chemical processing, and energy generation. The complexity of these flows poses significant challenges in predicting behavior, optimizing operations, and ensuring safe, efficient processes. A thorough understanding of multiphase flow dynamics is essential to address issues such as phase distribution, interfacial interactions, and transient phenomena that critically influence system performance.
Given the intricate nature of multiphase flows, accurate and reliable measurement techniques are indispensable. Advanced instrumentation is required to capture the nuances of flow behavior, enabling precise monitoring and control. These measurement methods not only facilitate enhanced process performance but also contribute to reducing operational costs and improving safety. In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the field, where machine learning (ML) algorithms and data-driven models significantly improve the interpretation of sensor data, enhance prediction capabilities, and drive innovative approaches to flow measurement. The synergy between traditional measurement techniques and AI-powered analytics is paving the way for next-generation solutions across multiple industries.
Since its inception in 1995, the International Symposium on Measurement Techniques for Multiphase Flows (ISMTMF) has provided a premier forum for scientists, engineers, and industry experts to share pioneering research and technological advancements. After enthusiastic responses to the past twelve ISMTMFs held in Nanjing (1995), Beijing (1998), Fukui (2001), Hangzhou (2004), Macau (2006), Okinawa (2008), Tianjin (2011), Guangzhou (2013), Sapporo (2015), Hong Kong (2017), Zhenjiang (2019) and Tokyo (2023), the 13th International Symposium on Measurement Techniques for Multiphase Flows (ISMTMF2025) will be held in Dalian, on October 25-27, 2025.
The ISMTMF2025 aims to provide an international forum for presentation, exchange of ideas and creation of knowledge in recent advances on various aspects of theories, analyses, and applications of measurement techniques in complex multiphase/multicomponent flows. It will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, research institutions and industry to exchange experiences, disseminate up-to-date information, and explore new opportunities in the field. In particular, it will expose young or new researchers to the state of the art in the field. We would like to cordially invite you to attend the symposium, actively participate in its technical sessions, and have good time in Dalian.
