Descrizione
The interplay between fluid flow and phase change phenomena—evaporation, condensation, boiling, melting, and solidification—is fundamental to a vast array of natural and industrial processes. Instances of these interactions are represented by ice-melting in polar regions and glaciers, fiery lava flows and boiling in nuclear reactors. The wide range of scales involved—from the nanoscale bubble nucleation to the kilometer-scale geophysical flows—poses significant challenges for both experimental and numerical investigations. Over the past 25 years, interface-resolved simulation methods for phase changing flows have matured considerably and advances in imaging and data acquisition have greatly improved the possibilities to perform accurate measurements. These recent developments and the rising importance of phase change phenomena in climate modeling, energy production, and thermal management, have rendered this topic an emerging and active research field.
