Objectives

The PCC99 Workshop aimed to create a common platform for different groups working on modelling phase change problems. The Workshop addressed both the theoretical bases for the solution of physical and mathematical problems concerning phase changes, and the numerical algorithms necessary for efficient and robust computer implementations. Validation and verification of codes and their implementation to practical industrial situations were given special attention at the meeting. PCC99 should help people working in applied mathematics, numerical modelling and industrial applications to gain knowledge and allow critical assessment of different approaches, numerical methods, physical models and validation methods used in the field.

Format

The scientific program consisted of plenary sessions featuring lectures by distinguished speakers and contributed lectures. Parallel sessions were not provided for. The special goal was to present invited papers and keynote lectures which summarize and critically evaluate the existing state of the field, to elucidate the novel mathematical and computational as well as practical aspects of the methods, and to indicate innovative trends and new perspectives in fluid mechanics.

Main topics of the meeting

• Fundamentals of phase change phenomena and their implication on the models (supercooling, non-equilibrium problems, interactions of multicomponents, micro-macro scale, microgravity).
• Different numerical approaches (transformed vs. fixed grid, discrete vs. continuous models, FEM, FDM, FVM, BEM)
• Validation problems - definition of the crucial factors for the specific problems
• Specification of numerical and experimental benchmarks (initial conditions, thermal boundary conditions, etc.).
• Industry specific problems and experimental techniques
