We are very glad to announce that we are now ready to receive your abstracts for the second  workshop  SWEP “Surface Wettability Effects on Phase Change Phenomena” in Mons, Belgium. The workshop will start at 1pm on Thursday 6th and terminates early in the afternoon of Friday 7th June 2019.

The workshop aims at providing a stimulating forum and a brainstorming session for researchers to exchange knowledge on two-phase flows experiments, modelling and simulation, to discuss with worldwide experts their current research, and to propose a better understanding on the effect of surface wettability on phase-change phenomena.

Ten invited lecturers will give lectures on various topics related to SWEP:

1.    Alidad Amirfazli, University of York, Canada

2.    Carlo Massimo Casciola, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy

3.    Pierre Colinet, Ecole Polytechnique de Bruxelles, Belgium

We are very pleased to announce the second edition of the research workshop SWEP “Surface Wettability Effects on Phase Change Phenomena” in Mons, Belgium. The workshop will start at 1pm on Thursday 6 and terminates early in the afternoon of Friday 7th of June 2019.

The workshop aims at providing a high-level forum for researchers to exchange knowledge on two-phase flows experiments, modeling and simulation, to discuss with worldwide experts their current research, and to propose a better comprehension on the effect of surface wettability on phase-change phenomena.

Specific topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Experimental techniques to measure the variation ofphase change phenomena in presence of a surface withdifferent wettability.
  • Modeling of the effect of wettability on phase change
  • Molecular dynamics simulations of phase changephenomena
  • Mesoscale phenomena
  • Computational techniques for phase change processes

More than eight invited lecturers will give stimulating outstan- ding lectures to offer a panoramic view of the field and on the most recent results in the international community. All the participants may send an abstract to be entitled to present their results in form of poster presentation. The list of invited lecturers will be announced soon.

The workshop aims at providing a forum and a brainstorming session for researchers to exchange knowledge on two-phase flows experiments, modeling and simulation, to discuss with worldwide experts their current research, and to propose a better comprehension on the effect of surface wettability on phase-change phenomena.

The School’s experiment being flown on this campaign is a Single Loop Pulsating Heat Pipe which features high speed infrared imaging, high speed visible spectrum imaging and pressure and temperature measurements; with the overall aim to observe and characterise the thermofluid behaviour of a working fluid in varying gravity conditions.

More background on the EPSRC founded research project can be found here
 You can also follow the plane in flight via www.flightradar24.com, filtering for aircraft registration number  F-WNOV.  The aircraft is currently flying at the tip of Brittany and earlier over the channel in view of Dorset. Try the speed&altitude graph function to see the parabolas as they occur!
  
Over the next three days the flights will take off roughly at 08:00 UK time – for a duration of approx. 3 hours.
Finally, on this campaign we are very proud to have two high profile team members:
  • Libby Jackson, Manager of the Human Spaceflight and Microgravity Programme at the UK Space Agency, who will be helping us with the high speed imaging data collection in flight.
  • Captain BrightOne, our new flying Mascot and contribution of Prof. Debra Humphris.
.
 
Planned flyers for this campaign:
 DAY 1 – 05/12/17  
Daniele Mangini (CEM Research Fellow)
Luca Pietrasanta (CEM PhD student)
Lucio Araneo (University of Milan)
 
DAY 2 – 06/12/17
Daniele Mangini (CEM Research Fellow)
Marco Bernagozzi (CEM Research Officer)
Nicolas Miché (CEM – Course Leader Aeronautical Engineering)
Libby Jackson (UK Space Agency)
 
DAY 3 – 07/12/17
Daniele Mangini (CEM Research Fellow)
