Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Multiphase flow phenomena encompass a broad spectrum of physics and engineering sciences dealing with complex processes across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, and whose elucidation relies on a multitude of analytical, numerical, and experimental methodologies. Recent progresses, combined with the continual development of advanced technologies, have given rise to innovative multiphase flow systems of primary interest for many applications, such as in medicine and bioscience, but have also enabled the improvement of our past descriptions by providing access to more detailed and complementary data.

This Special Issue invites original contributions related to the description of multiphase flow phenomena, with a special emphasis on recent theoretical and numerical modeling efforts. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers addressing multiphase flows, including liquid–gas and liquid–liquid flows; bubble and droplet dynamics; plasma in dielectrics; microfluidic devices; and others. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Multiphase flow simulation;
  • Interface dynamics;
  • Atomization;
  • Bubble and drop dynamics;
  • Bubbly flows;
  • Cavitation;
  • Interaction of gas, liquids and solids;
  • Flow in porous media;
  • Microfluidic devices;
  • Applications in biomedical and industrial fields.

In this paper, we investigate the solvability of a boundary value problem for a heat and mass transfer model with the spatially averaged Rayleigh function. The considered model describes the 3D steady-state non-isothermal flow of a generalized Newtonian fluid (with shear-dependent viscosity) in a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary. The main novelty of our work is that we do not neglect the viscous dissipation effect in contrast to the classical Boussinesq approximation, and hence, deal with a system of strongly nonlinear partial differential equations. Using the properties of the averaging operation and d-monotone operators as well as the Leray–Schauder alternative for completely continuous mappings, we prove the existence of weak solutions without any smallness assumptions for model data. Moreover, it is shown that the set of all weak solutions is compact, and each solution from this set satisfies some energy equalities. Full article

Abstract
In this paper, we analyze a quasi-linear parabolic initial-boundary problem describing the thermal explosion of a compressible micropolar real gas in one spatial dimension. The model contains five variables, mass density, velocity, microrotation, temperature, and the mass fraction of unburned fuel, while the [...] Read more.
In this paper, we analyze a quasi-linear parabolic initial-boundary problem describing the thermal explosion of a compressible micropolar real gas in one spatial dimension. The model contains five variables, mass density, velocity, microrotation, temperature, and the mass fraction of unburned fuel, while the associated problem contains homogeneous boundary conditions. The aim of this work is to prove the uniqueness theorem of the generalized solution for the mentioned initial-boundary problem. The uniqueness of the solution, together with the proven existence of the solution, makes the described initial-boundary problem theoretically consistent, which provides a basis for the development of numerical methods and the engineering application of the model.
