New Advances and Key Questions in Phase-Change Cooling

The Second ThermaSMART Annual Workshop and Progress 100 Symposium

2-4 December, 2019, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan 

ThermaSMART and the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy (WPI-I2CNER) will jointly hold a meeting with around 40 international experts from 10 countries and 5 continents to discuss phase-change related problems.

Particularly, we take this opportunity to pose open questions concerning phase-change phenomena and multiphase flows, such as:

-Experimental questions: challenging measurement limits (time/spatial resolutions, 2D/3D mapping etc.)
-Theoretical questions: Role of boundary conditions
-Numerical questions: Appropriate methods
 
The workshop will be held at I2CNER HALL, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan
