Numerical analysis of boiling phenomena

We have constructed mathematical models on effects where phase transitions and hydrodynamics are coupled. We have then performed numerical simulations on the basis of these models. Coarse-grained phenomenological models and microscopic molecular dynamics models have both been used, depending on the nature of the problems. We have treated dynamics of wetting layers with evaporation and condensation, phase separation in aqueous mixtures induced by selective impurities, colloid interactions in aqueous mixtures, glass transition dynamics in anisotropic molecular systems, and liquid crystal dynamics in porous media. We have published a number of papers on these problems in journals with referees, but we are still working on these problems.
