Joint 12th International Conference: “Two-Phase Systems for Space and Ground Applications” and 2nd International School of Young Scientists “Interfacial Phenomena and Heat Transfer”

Abstract

PrefaceJoint 12-th International conference «Two-Phase Systems for Space and Ground Applications» and 2nd International School of Young Scientists «Interfacial Phenomena and Heat Transfer» were held at Kutateladze Institute of Thermophysics SB RAS, Academgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia, during 11-16 of September 2017. The third largest city in Russia, often referred to as “the capital of Siberia”, Novosibirsk is home to a number of research centres and institutes, including the Kutateladze Institute of Thermophysics. The long tradition of research in both fluid mechanics and heat transfer makes this institute a natural venue for the Conference and School.The Conference and School provide a platform for researchers to exchange information and identify research needs in this important area encompassing several engineering, mechanical and physical disciplines. A wide range of topics in the rapidly developing and highly interdisciplinary field of interfacial phenomena and heat transfer were covered, including boiling, shear-driven films, droplet evaporation, contact line phenomena, thermocapillary flows, two-phase flows in microchannels and minichannels, and effect of gravity on various processes.The Conference and School were conducted under the financial support of the Russian Science Foundation (№ 15-19-30038).The editors would like to express their sincere appreciations and thanks to all the committee members of the Conference and School for their enormous efforts, to all the authors for their research contribution and to all expert referees for peer review of the articles. Thanks also to IOP Conference Series for producing the volume with articles.Editors,Prof. Oleg KabovDr. Yuriy LyulinDr. Dmitry ZaitsevFor more information about the Conference and School please visit the websites:http://www.itp.nsc.ru/htl/spaceconf-2017/http://www.itp.nsc.ru/htl//school-conference-2017/
