FUNDAMENTALS OF BOILING AND MULTIPHASE FLOW UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS
Sinopsis
We discuss recent developments and present new
fundamental advancements in five areas involving
multidimensional, multiphase flows, with very intense
dynamics due to pressure waves and phase change
phenomena. Specifically, we consider the limits of
downward boiling curved surfaces, high temperature particle
clouds plunging into liquid pools, strong pressure waves in
multiphase media, microscale interactions of high
temperature melt drops with a surrounding liquid, and the
combination of the latter two to produce thermal
detonations. We emphasize the methodological aspects of
integrating local descriptions (key physics) towards
predicting collective phenomena, and the importance of
consistency among behaviors at different scales to converge
to the appropriate regimes (relevant to the problem).
