The AdTherM spring course Mixing and transport of two-phase flows with phase change was recently delivered at KTH as part of the AdTherM PhD school.
AdTherM is a competence centre focusing on advanced computing for sustainable thermal management, promoting collaboration between academia and industry. Through its PhD school, AdTherM offers courses that strengthen doctoral students’ knowledge in areas of key relevance to both research and industrial applications.
Following a summer course at Lund University, the second course in the AdTherM PhD school focused on multiphase flows and their relevance to industrial environments. Over one week, participants explored fundamental concepts related to phase change, evaporation phenomena, and transport in two-phase flows, while also gaining insight into state-of-the-art numerical and experimental methods used to study these systems.”
The course featured lectures by Shervin Bagheri, Gustav Amberg, Shahab Mirjalili, Fredrik Lundell, and Lisa Prahl Witterberg, who combined fundamental theory with real-world applications. Participants also benefited from valuable industrial perspectives through contributions from Pascal Veber and Kristian Angele (Vattenfall), Jakob Ronnhammar (Infrasonik), and Yiğit Akkus (Ericsson), which were integrated into the student group work.
By bringing together leading researchers and industrial partners, the course gave participants from both industry and academia an opportunity to deepen their knowledge, exchange ideas, and connect with experts in the field.
