Escaping of the liquid molecules from their liquid bulk into the vapour phase at the vapour-liquid interface is controlled by the vapour diffusion process, which nevertheless hardly senses the macroscopic shape of this interface. Here,…
Multiphase flows are characterized by sharp moving interfaces, separating different fluids or phases. In many cases the dynamics of the interface determines the behavior of the flow. In a coarse, or reduced order model, it may therefore be…
