The Euromech conference “Films, bubbles, droplets and phase change” will be held in an industrial region known for its steelmaking industry, where heat and mass transfer play crucial roles. In the e-car industry, dielectric fluids manage battery thermal operations. The extension of nuclear power plants' lifespans, like Cattenom in France, requires studying severe accident scenarios involving thermal-hydraulic phenomena. Current numerical codes can't simulate all industrial scale processes and thus we are still facing some issues. This conference aims to explore heat and mass transfer in industrial processes with phase changes, from academic research to industrial applications, including experiments and simulations. Academics and industry professionals are invited to contribute to the following topics.
- bubble and drop dynamics in thermodynamic disequilibrium
- fragmentation and atomization
- boiling at low to high pressure in steady and transient situations
- falling films, sheared films for heat exchanger applications
- wetting, dewetting in film formation undergoing a phase change
- Icing and de/anti-icing
