Invited Speakers		HOME

David Brutin Aix-Marseille Université, France Bio: David Brutin received his M.Sc. / Engineering diploma in mechanical engineering in 2000 with a semester spent at the University of Iowa, College of Engineering. In 2003 he obtained his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Provence, France. He became Assistant Professor at Aix-Marseille University, France in 2005, and Associate Professor 2009, after completing his Habilitation. In 2015, he were promoted Full Professor at Aix-Marseille University, Polytech’ Marseille and got also an excellency fellowship from the “Institut Universitaire de France” for the period 2015-2020. His work focuses on phase change heat transfer, pure and complex fluids physics (refrigerants, blood, nanofluids), soft matter, with applications in space science, aeronautics, biomedical, forensic science, and printing technology. He is author of 45 papers in peer reviewed journals, member of the editorial board of “Colloids and Interface Science Communications” published by Elsevier and “Interfacial Phenomena and Heat Transfer” published by Begell House. He is editor of a collaborative book, “Droplet Spreading and Evaporation” published by Elsevier. Title: Droplet Wetting and Evaporation: From Pure to Complex Fluids In the early 1800s, Thomas Young and Pierre-Simon Laplace conducted the first investigations on the wetting of droplets. They investigated the wetting issues, the role of the contact angle and the liquid/solid coupling nature driving the droplet problems. While a sessile droplet is a simple geometry, it is also a complex system to solve for real life situations (metallic inks for inkjet printing, spreading of pesticides on leaves, drops of whole blood or blood serum spreading and drying for medical applications). By taking into account its wetting and then its evaporation, this simple case becomes a very complex problem that is researched by several teams worldwide. The complexity is mainly due to the physics involved, the full coupling with the substrate on which the drop sits (the Latin root of the word sessile means "on which one can sit"), the atmosphere and the fluid nature (pure fluid, bi- or multi-phases or even containing colloids). In the keynote, I will present the different research topics dealing with droplets that have been studied and which are right now studied in different teams worldwide. I will focus the main part of my keynote on complex fluids such as blood and nanofluids.	Yuichi Murai Hokkaido University, Japan Bio: Yuichi Murai received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1996 at The University of Tokyo. He worked at Fukui University as a research associate from 1995 to 2000 in nuclear thermo-fluids engineering, and at London Imperial College from 2001 to 2002. He moved to Hokkaido University in 2003 to start power-saving technology, and became a professor in 2010 at Laboratory of Flow Control (LFC), Hokkaido University. He published 72 journal articles and more than 300 international conference proceedings papers in the field of experimental fluid mechanics such as for PIV and Ultrasound Doppler Velocimetry. He won 23 academic awards in his carrier total, including 8 JSME awards, and a MEXT’s minister prize of Japanese government in 2007. His latest focuses are industrial applications of his measurement instrumentations for drag reduction ships, wind turbines, and pipeline systems upon strong international demands for current energy problems. Title: Laboratory experiments and sea-trials on ship drag reduction by bubble injection Mixture of small bubbles in water provides new functions especially in turbulent shear flows, which still involves many fundamental physics unsolved. Only experimentalist can demonstrate their unrevealed scenarios that are highly available to flow control such as frictional drag reduction for large maritime vessels. Numerous parametric studies conducted since 1970 has recently been comprehensively updated in physical interpretation by our group after we found enhancement of drag reduction by means of repetitive bubble injection as well as a new design of bubble generator using hydrofoil-arrangement on ship surfaces. Not only the success story of such applications, but also basic science in turbulent eddy viscosity of bubbly mixture extracted by new measurement tools will be explained in the presentation.
Jungho Kim University of Maryland, USA Bio: Jungho Kim is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering where he performs research and teaches courses in a broad range of thermal sciences areas. He is an expert in the measurement of heat flux using various techniques. The microheater array technique used to measure time and space resolved heat transfer rates during boiling, spray cooling, and within microchannels was developed in his lab. This technique was used by NASA in the MABE experiment to study microgravity pool boiling on the International Space Station in 2012. He recently developed an technique to use infrared thermometry to measure local heat transfer distribution in pool and flow boiling which required characterization of the optical properties (emissivity, absorptivity, reflectivity, and transmissivity) of various substances. This technique is being applied in a flow boiling experiment that is planned for flight on the ISS. In conjunction with Earth Networks (Weatherbug), a method to predict residential energy use was developed and is being used in their app Weatherbug Home. Other research includes the measurement of absorbance coefficient of reactants at high temperatures, and the development of fast response heat flux gages. He has received funding in the past from NASA, NSA, NIST, Parker Hannefin, ONR, NSF, Northrup Grumman, WPAFB, and ATEC. He is active in ASME, having served as Chair of the K-13 committee on Multiphase Heat Transfer. He has won numerous awards for teaching and instrumentation, and is the holder of three patents. Title: Title: Phase Change Heat Transfer Measurements Using Optical Techniques ABSTRACT: Optical techniques to measure time resolved temperature and heat transfer distributions at the interface between a wall and fluid are described. These techniques allow the heat transfer to be measured in much more detail than can be achieved using point sensors (e.g., thermocouples, resistance thermometers, or heat flux sensors) by levering advancements in optical and infrared cameras. The techniques to be discussed are based on infrared thermometry, quantum dots, and temperature sensitive paints. The relative merits of these techniques are discussed, and examples of their application to measure the wall temperature and heat flux during pool boiling and flow boiling are presented. An experimental program to determine the effect of gravity on flow boiling heat transfer mechanisms within tubes over a range of pressures, flow rates, inlet qualities, and heat fluxes in preparation for an ISS flight experiment is described.	Sara Rainieri University of Parma, Italy Bio: Born in Fidenza – Parma – Italy (1969), graduated summa cum laude in Physics at the University of Parma - Italy. PhD in Applied Physics (1997), university researcher (1999), associate professor (2002) and full professor (2015) in Applied Physics at the Industrial Engineering Department of the University of Parma. Since 2007 she is the Vice head of the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Parma and in 2013 she became Rector Delegate for the Job Placement activity of the University of Parma. Since 2005 she is member of the Steering committee of the Italian Union of Thermal Fluid Dynamics (UIT) and in 2011 she became the Secretary of the same scientific association. She is member of the 2014-2016 Scientific Council of ICHMT. The research activity is mainly focused on: - Heat transfer enhancement techniques - Holution techniques of inverse heat transfer problems - Heat and mass transfer in food processing - Advanced data processing and parameter estimation techniques applied to infrared thermographic data Title: Inverse Problems Approach to the Experimental Assessment of Heat Transfer Enhancement Techniques In several industrial applications, it is mandatory to adopt some strategies to augment the convective heat transfer coefficient. Both passive and active or even compound techniques able to produce enhanced heat transfer coefficients have then been widely investigated in literature. The experimental thermal performance assessment of such augmentation techniques is necessarily mainly performed throughout indirect measurements of the exchanged heat flux. This can be easily achieved by measuring the temperature distribution over an external surface of the apparatuses and by suitably processing it to infer the boundary condition that establishes at the fluid-internal wall interface. This procedure implies the solution of the Inverse Heat Conduction Problem within the solid wall. The present lecture will present the main results that the Applied Physics research group of the University of Parma has obtained by applying innovative solution techniques of the Inverse Heat Conduction Problem to thermographic temperature maps with the aim of determining the local convective heat transfer coefficient with regard to the passive enhancement of forced convective heat transfer.

Christos Markides Imperial College London, UK Bio: Dr. Christos Markides is a Reader in Clean Energy Processes at the Department of Chemical Engineering of Imperial College London, where he is Head of the Clean Energy Processes (CEP) Laboratory numbering approx. 30 students and research associates, and the Experimental Multiphase Flow (EMF) Laboratory which is the largest experimental space of its kind at Imperial College. Dr. Markides has a BA, MEng, MA and PhD all from the University of Cambridge. He specialises in applied thermodynamics and enhanced fluid flow/transfer processes in devices for thermal-energy recovery, utilization, conversion or storage. In particular, his research focuses on developing and applying advanced high-resolution non-intrusive (optical/laser-based) diagnostic techniques for the provision of new insight and highly detailed, previously unavailable information on velocity, turbulence, species, concentration, phase distribution, temperature, heat flux and reaction in relevant flows. He is an Editor of Elsevier journal ‘Energy’, a Member of the Scientific Panel of the ASME ORC Power Systems Committee, and the Scientific Committee of the UK Energy Storage SUPERGEN Hub. He is also an experimental investigator on the 8-year/£4M UK Centre for Doctoral Training on ‘Fluid Mechanics Across Scales’ lead by Imperial College, and the 5-year/£5M MEMPHIS project aimed at developing next-generation modelling tools for multiphase flows based on accurate, detailed experimental data. Title: Laser Diagnostics and Spatiotemporally Resolved Measurements of Multiphase Flows Multiphase flows are encountered in a broad range of settings, from highly complex isothermal flows in upstream and midstream oil-and-gas applications, to flows in the presence of heating or cooling such as in heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, wetted-wall absorbers and reactors in manufacturing and other industrial processes across a wide range of scales. In the non-isothermal (or, diabatic) case, film flows are favoured owing to their high surface-to-volume ratios and high heat and mass transfer capabilities even at modest flow-rates. Common geometries involve liquid films flowing down vertical or inclined plates and annular pipe flows. Despite the numerous and well-performed experimental studies encountered in literature, only a limited number of studies relating to the simultaneous and spatiotemporal variations of the interfaces and underlying velocity and other scalar fields in these flows are currently available; a limitation linked inherently to the many challenges that arise when performing these measurements. Multiphase flows, in particular, present the experimentalist with a unique set of challenges, including restricted fluid domains (often sub-mm), intermittently moving and complex waves on the interfaces that render the extraction of reliable information particularly challenging. This talk will present recent efforts to develop and apply a range of laser-based and other combined diagnostic techniques to a number of multiphase flows, both isothermal and diabatic. Important results from these efforts will be presented and new insights discussed.

He was the conference chair for more than ten international conferences. Title: Heat Transfer in the Transitional Flow Regime Heat transfer in the transitional flow regime has many applications in industry. One of the most important is in flow channels or conduits which is used as one of the two sides of heat exchangers. However, recent works show that during the design process, the best compromise between high heat transfer coefficients and relatively low pressure drops is usually found in the transitional flow regime. Unfortunately, very limited experimental work has been conducted in this regime. The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it is used to give a review of the state of the art in the transitional flow regime. Secondly, it presents heat transfer coefficients and friction factors of a large variety of experiments on different geometries in the transitional flow regime. It was found that in the transitional flow regime the change in the heat transfer coefficients and friction factors from the laminar to turbulent flow regime is very smooth.	Jerry Westerweel TU Delft, The Netherlands Bio: Jerry Westerweel (1964- ) studied applied physics at the Delft University of Technology. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1993 under supervision of Frans Nieuwstadt. As a Research Fellow with the Royal Dutch Academy for Arts and Sciences he worked at Stanford University, the California Institute of Technology, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He became an Anthony van Leeuwenhoek professor at the Delft University of Technology in 2002, and leads the Fluid Mechanics section since 2005. His scientific interests are turbulence and coherent flow structures, and optical measurement techniques for quantitative measurements in flows. He is one of the editors-in-chief for Experiments in Fluids. Title: Inhomogeneous turbulence Most turbulent flows are inhomogeneous, where the statistical properties of the turbulence change as a function of position. This is particularly the case in the outer regions of jets, wakes, and boundary layers, where the turbulence propagates into the non-turbulent flow region. One of the outstanding questions in turbulence research is how non-turbulent irrotational fluid becomes turbulent and is entrained within the turbulent flow region as it propagates outward. Conventional single-point measurement methods are unable to capture the complex flow at these outer edges of the turbulent flow region. Instead, modern methods, such a particle image velocimetry (PIV), have been successful to capture the fluid motion relative to the propagation turbulent/non-turbulent interface. These measurements have lead to new insights in the dynamical aspects of turbulent flows that also pertain to the internal structure of turbulent flows.

Sushanta Mitra York University, Canada Bio: Sushanta Mitra is the Associate Vice-President Research and Kaneff Professor in Micro & Nanotechnology for Social Innovation at the York University. His research interests are in the fundamental understanding of fluid transport in micro and nano-scale confinements with applications in energy, environmental monitoring, and bio-systems.

He is the recipient of 2015 Engineering Excellence Medal from the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers. Title: Capillarity & Wetting: Old wine in a new bottle Motivated by the pioneering work of Nobel laureate, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, we have revisited the topic of capillarity and wetting and found that some of his thoughts could be wisely utilized to provide answers to new regimes for capillary flow within horizontal and vertical capillaries. His notion of spreading parameter could be used to develop new technique for drop deposition on under-liquid substrates. We have also developed a new tool to characterize wettability of any substrate kept in air medium. Finally, using the technique of drop deposition, we have characterized the under-water superoleophobicity of a glass surface and fish scales.	Assaad R. Masri University of Sydney, Australia Bio: Masri has received his PhD (1987) and BE Honours with the University Medal (1984) from the University of Sydney.

Masri’s research lies in the broad area of efficient energy conversion with a focus on turbulent combustion of gaseous and liquid fuels and laser diagnostics. His current research areas include: combustion of bio-fuels and biodiesels, atomization of sprays, turbulent inhomogeneous flames, explosion and industrial safety and nanoparticle formation in flames. Masri has published over 130 journal papers and won many awards including the Silver Medal of the Combustion Institute. Title: Turbulent Combustion: Recent Progress and Outstanding Challenges The presentation will outline recent progress in our understanding of turbulent combustion spanning premixed, stratified and non-premixed flames with a particular focus on the effects of compositional inhomogeneity and their role in combustion systems. Advances in measurement techniques and computational capabilities will be briefly reviewed along with recent measurements in representative inhomogeneous flows. Selected gaseous fuels will be covered first followed by sprays, both dilute and dense. Issues of spray atomization and the impact of the droplets structure on the turbulent flame will also be discussed. The talk will conclude with an outline of remaining challenges as relevant to both gaseous and liquid-based systems.

Amos Ullmann Tel Aviv University, Israel Bio: Dr. Amos Ullmann is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Tel Aviv University, Israel.

He is a co-author of about 90 publications in the fields of multiphase flow and transport phenomena, separation processes, particles flow and emission, energy storage and micro-pumps. Title: Enhancement of Forced and Free Convection Heat Transfer Rates by Phase Separation of Partially-Miscible Liquid Systems With the rapid development of microelectronics technology, high power density devices are being used for various applications. In order to maintain a temperature that ensures safe and efficient operation of the equipment, high surface heat flux removal is required. Convective boiling suffers from inherent problems when applied for cooling of mini devices, such as low critical heat flux and flow instabilities. Therefore, the possibility of using a temperature induced phase separation of partially miscible liquid-liquid systems (with a Critical Solution Temperature, CST) to enhance the single phase heat transfer rates has been examined. During the intermediate, non-equilibrium stages of the phase separation, the chemical potential gradients are responsible for the so-called Korteweg capillary forces that result in self-propulsion of droplets. It was demonstrated that this mixing and the enlarged apparent specific heat (due to the heat of mixing) result in augmentation of the forced convections heat transfer coefficients compared to single phase laminar flows. It was also shown that the phase separation augments the free convection heat transfer from a vertical plate compared to free convection without phase separation. Visualization of the flow field during the phase separation enables the association of the heat transfer augmentation with the observed flow phenomena.

About Iguazu		HOME

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foz_do_Igua%C3%A7u Foz do Iguaçu (Iguazu River Mouth) (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈfɔz dw iɡwɐˈsu]) is the Brazilian city of the border of Iguaçu Falls. The city is the 7th largest in the state of Paraná. The city's population is approximately 265,000 inhabitants. It is located approximately 650 km (400 mi) west of the capital of the state, Curitiba, being the westernmost city in that state. The inhabitants of the city are known as iguaçuenses. The Iguaçu Falls located on the border of Argentina and Brazil and consisting of approximately 257 individual falls over 2.7 km (1.7 mi) were chosen as one of the "New Natural Seven Wonders of the World."[1] The city is characterized by tourism and its cultural diversity. There are about 80 nationalities, being the most representative from Italy, Portugal, Lebanon, China, Paraguay and Argentina. Foz do Iguaçu is integrated into a tri-national region, bordering the Argentine city of Puerto Iguazú and the Paraguayan city of Ciudad del Este. The city's economy is based on tourism, with emphasis on trade and services.[2] According to research conducted by the Brazilian Tourist Institute (Embratur) and the Foundation Institute of Economic Research (FIFE) in 2006, 2007 and 2008, Foz do Iguaçu was considered the 2nd most visited leisure destination by foreign tourists after Rio de Janeiro.[2] In 2010, it received from the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism 10 awards for Best Practices and Competitiveness Index.[2] The Foz do Iguaçu Destination have been noted by various national and international media. The British newspaper The Guardian says it is the best foreign destination for the UK.[2] The U.S. World Network CNN classifies it as one of the 14 most romantic destinations.[2] Foz do Iguaçu is home of the Itaipu dam, the world's largest hydroelectric plant in power generation. With 20 generator units and 14,000 MW of installed capacity, it provides approximately 17% of the energy consumed in Brazil and 75% of consumption in Paraguay.[3] Geography Climate The climate of Foz do Iguaçu is sub-tropical, with two distinctive seasons; one humidand hot in the summer and another, dry and cold, in the winter. The city's annual average temperature is 23.8 °C (74.8 °F), but can be as high as 40 °C (104 °F) in the summer (highest) or as low as -5 °C (23 °F) in the winter (lowest). The average in the summer is 26.5 °C (79.7 °F)and in the winter 15.4 °C (59.6 °F). The climate of the city is generally hot or warm throughout the year, due to the relatively low altitude (standing only 173 m, 567 ft (173 m), above sea level). Generally, the city is sunny during the year, but rain is fairly common during the spring and in the summer. The weather of the city, however, changes very constantly, because the region where the city stands is the zone where frequently three fronts meet. As consequence, it is not uncommon to see temperatures as high as 35 °C (95 °F) and in the summer as low as 8 °C (46 °F) in the city and, frequently, thunderstorms. History In 1549, a Spanish explorer, Cabeza de Vaca, found the falls while trailing down the river. Very impressed, he named them "Quedas de Santa Maria". Later the name changed to Quedas del Iguazu; this name is a native name from the Guarani Indians who lived there.[5] Until 1860, it was under the disputed territory between Brazil and Paraguay, but given the latter's defeat in the Paraguayan War, the falls were recognized as part of the Brazilian territory.[5] The region was almost uninhabited, and there was only a military colony until 1897, with the creation of a postal office in the region. Given the little attention of the political authorities, the region was very predated by foreigners, mainly Argentines.[5] In 1910, the colony's status was upgraded to the position of "vila" (town or village), named "Vila Iguazu", and, in 1914, to city. At that time, the city was known as Foz do Iguassu.[5] In 1916, Alberto Santos-Dumont visited the region and, impressed with the beauties of the region, suggested more attention of the government to the area and asked for the appropriation of the land where currently is the Parque do Iguaçu (Iguaçu Park). Until 1917, this region had an owner, Jezus Val. The state appropriated the land in the next year, and, in 1939, the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu ("Iguaçu National Park") was created.[5] In 1945, an agreement between the Brazilian Academy of Letters and the Academy of Lisbon changed the city name to Foz do Iguaçu. The city experienced a big economical boom in the 1960s to the late 1980s, first with the construction of the Friendship Bridge, concluded in 1965, and the Itaipu Dam, in operation since in 1984.[5] On October 19, 2005, a proposal was made to adjust the city name to: Foz do Iguassu. The proposal was approved in a first debate and then rejected in a second debate, at the Town Hall (Câmara Municipal), by four votes for and eight against. The bill was initiated by city councillor Djalma Pastorello, of the PSDB.[5] The purpose of the adjustment to the city name was to return the spelling to the original form, as at the foundation of the city in 1914. The change occurred due language reforms of 1945, which changed the orthography of Brazilian Portuguese. However, existing proper names were not obliged to change. Another reason for the proposed adjustment back to the original was that 146 of the 198 member countries of the United Nations do not have the "ç" character in their alphabets.[5] The adjustment would therefore rationalise any search for the city in search engines, since Foz do Iguaçu's claim to fame world wide is due almost entirely to the falls, which are known as the Iguassu Falls. Djalma Pastorello felt that tourism to the city of Foz do Iguaçu would be improved greatly by a clarification of its association with the now-famous Iguassu Falls. However, he estimates that 70% of the city's population were against the name change because the local media anticipated the change and presented it in a distorted way, so that locals were unable to see that the intention was to benefit the population.[5] Demographics The city has a population of approximately 265,000 inhabitants, whilst the Tríplice Fronteira (Tri Frontier) region (Ciudad del Este, Hernandarias, Puerto Iguazú and the rural areas included within those municipalities) has a total of 820,000. The city is very heterogeneous, with many immigrant communities, such as: Arabs, Chinese, Germans, Italians, Paraguayans, Argentines, French, Swedes, Portuguese and Ukrainians. The city is predominantly Roman Catholic but a relatively large minority of Muslims and Buddhists are represented in the city as well. The city itself has a large mosque and a Buddhist temple. Fenartec is an annual event held in the city's convention centre commemorating the city's multicultural diversity, usually in May. Arab influence Since 1940, Lebanese and other Arab Muslims have settled in the southwestern city of Foz do Iguaçu, in the "Triple Border" area where Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil converge in a region of loosely controlled borders.[6] The Lebanese people are 90% of the population from Middle-east in Foz do Iguaçu, the others are from Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, Syria and Palestine. The muslim religion is professed by 97% of Arabs of the city, and that the community in question has social structure composed of representative bodies, religious spaces, dining spaces and architectural heritage.[7]	Transportation Foz do Iguaçu is connected to the east by the BR-277, to Paranaguá, and also to the east by the Friendship Bridge to Ciudad del Este, and to the south to Puerto Iguazú by the Fraternity Bridge. Both the BR-277 and the Friendship Bridge are very busy roads, linking Paraguay to the Paranaguá's seaport. The city is served by the Foz do Iguaçu/Cataratas International Airport, in which 1,155,615 passengers transited in 2010. Public transport The city does not operate its own municipal transport networks, but instead licenses four private bus companies to operate services on its behalf. The bus fares are set by the municipality for all four companies. In 2003, the city initiated an integrated city fare and created a hub near the city centre. Now, most of the bus routes pass through this hub and passengers pay a standard fare within the city zone, which enables them to transfer routes, even when these may be operated by another company. The transport network extends to certain distant areas, such as the city's airport and the Iguazu Park, but not between the city and its neighbor Ciudad del Este, nor with Puerto Iguazú, which are serviced by other companies. These routes are not part of the integrated network, a situation reflected by higher fares. Avenida Brasil (Brazil Avenue) Since Foz do Iguaçu's foundation, Brazil Avenue is the city's main road. While during its early years the street was primarily the military headquarters' location (now they are just in the right beginning of the Avenue), nowadays the street is a very active place where many retail stores are located. It is located at the downtown of the city and it is 5 km (3 mi) long (of which 3 km, 2 mi (3.2 km), is arterial road).[5] As of 2004, the prefecture of the city decided that a major revitalization of "Avenida Brasil" (Brazil Avenue) was needed. Attracting many consumers from many different areas of the city and even from its neighbours Ciudad del Este and Puerto Iguazú, the avenue, wide enough only to support two cars side-by-side, is frequently used during business days, and even more in important holidays (Christmas, Children's day, Easter, Mother's day), with many cars competing for a parking space.[5] The revitalization proposals asks for removal of parking space, giving major attention to pedestrians. Also, the avenue would be wide enough only to support one car side-by-side. The project started at the end of 2004, and by 2006 was concluded. The avenue does not have a bus route, by municipal order.[5] Education The city has a literacy rate of 95.5%, with most children attending public or private schools. Public education has been a priority of the municipality of the city and the government of the state of Paraná; however, most middle and upper-class families continue to send their children to elite private schools. The city has approximately 30 private schools and approximately 120 public schools (including daycare and kindergarten schools). In addition, there are 6 universities: Cesufoz; UDC; Uniamérica; Unifoz; Unioeste; Anglo-Americano Faculdades. In January 2010, the Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana (UNILA) was founded. Economy Tourism The city is one of Brazil's most-frequented tourist destinations. Most tourists are Brazilians and Argentines.The city has about 100 hotels and inns. Its main attractions are: Iguaçu Falls, which has a flow capacity equal to three times that of Niagara Falls. Part of the falls are on the Brazilian side. Others are on the Argentine side. "Devil's Throat" ( "Garganta do Diabo" in Portuguese) is the tallest of the falls, which is 97 m (318 ft) high; Parque Nacional do Iguaçu (Iguaçu National Park), in both Brazil and Argentina, where the falls are. It is protected by the IBAMA; Itaipu Dam, the first-largest generator of hydro-electric power in the world, in the Parana river, between Brazil and Paraguay; The Tríplice Fronteira (Triple Frontier) location where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet. Each side has its own Marco (landmark); The Omar Ibn Al-Khattab mosque, the largest in Latin America; The Bird Park (Parque das Aves), which features a collection of wild birds, and the "Bosque Guaraní" the city's zoo. The Itaipu Dam produces about 20% of Brazil's electricity needs, and employs (directly and indirectly) about 5,000 Iguaçuenses. Many Iguacuenses work in the neighboring city of Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, which is a duty-free market. All trade between Brazil and Paraguay uses the Friendship Bridge (called Ponte da Amizade in Brazil). Another bridge, the Fraternity Bridge (Ponte da Fraternidade, or Ponte Tancredo Neves, in Brazil), connects Foz do Iguaçu with its Argentine neighbor, Puerto Iguazú. Sports Foz do Iguaçu hosted an edition of the Summer X Games in 2013.[8] See also Ciudad del Este (A sister city of Foz do Iguaçu) Puerto Iguazú Itaipu Dam References Iguazu Falls chosen as one of the natural seven wonders of the world (English) Foz do Iguaçu Tri-border City (English) Energy Itaipu (English) "NORMAIS CLIMATOLÓGICAS DO BRASIL 1961-1990" (in Portuguese).
