Interfacial Dynamics of Phase Change Narayanan, Ranga

Description

Talk: Regular Abstract: A large class of hydrodynamic problems involves interfacial instabilities and within that class, phase change is an important physical process. Examples of phase -change phenomena are evaporation, solidification, and electrodeposition. They play an important role in materials processing, food preservation and in energy management. The interfacial instability associated with phase-change processes lead to pattern formation. Determining the conditions and form of pattern selection depend on the judicious use of analytical and computational schemes. This talk will focus on the physical and mathematical analogies between various phase-change instabilities. We will relate the results of theory arising from analysis and computations and compare them to experiments, showing the formation and selection of patterns.
