Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today's world, technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace across various domains, and the significance of high-heat-flux dissipation and thermal management has become increasingly prominent. Fields such as new energy vehicles, energy storage, and many others are witnessing rapid growth and transformation, and efficient thermal management solutions are indispensable for their continued development and success.
Among the various heat dissipation approaches, two-phase flow heat transfer stands out due to its superior efficiency and energy conversion density compared to single-phase methods. However, the presence of interfaces in two-phase flow introduces complexities such as unpredictable dynamic behaviors and instabilities. These challenges have spurred intensive research efforts aimed at understanding and mitigating them.
On the bright side, the ongoing advancements in new materials and surface technologies have opened up exciting new avenues for innovation in two-phase flow heat transfer. Novel materials with enhanced thermal properties and surface engineering techniques that promote desirable flow and phase change characteristics are continually emerging, offering promising solutions to the longstanding issues in this field.
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring and showcasing cutting-edge ideas and advancements in the realm of multiphase flow and heat transfer. We aim to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their innovative findings and discuss how these can be effectively applied to meet pressing thermal management needs across different industries.
Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fundamental studies on two-phase flow patterns and heat transfer mechanisms;
- Advanced thermal management strategies;
- Phase change materials;
- Numerical modeling of complex multiphase flow;
- Micro/nanostructured surfaces;
- Optimization of two-phase flow loop designs;
- Stability analysis and control methods;
- Applications machine of learning and artificial intelligence.
We sincerely invite you to contribute your original research articles, review papers, or perspective pieces to this Special Issue. Together, we can advance the knowledge on the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of multiphase flow and pave the way for more efficient and sustainable thermal management solutions in the years to come.
