Introduction

Cavitation and multiphase flow is one of paramount topics of fluid mechanics with many applications in engineering covering a broad range of topics, e.g., hydraulic machinery, biomedical engineering, chemical and process industry.In order to improve the performances of engineering facilities(e.g.hydraulic turbines) and to accelerate the development of techniques for medical treatment of serious diseases (e.g.tumours), it is essential to improve our understanding of multiphase and cavitation flows.For example, the present development towards the erosion control and higher efficiency of the hydraulic systems (e.g.space engine,propeller, hydraulic machinery system) often requires that the systems run in cavitating conditions, and that the risk of cavitation erosion needs to be controlled.

Scope

ISCM 2019 covers all aspects of cavitation and multiphase flows, e.g., both fundamental and applied research with a focus on physical insights, numerical modeling and applications in engineering.Some specific topics are (but not limited to):

● Cavitating and multiphase flow in hydroturbines, pumps, propellers, etc.

● Numerical simulation techniques, e.g., LES,RANS

● Cavitation and multiphase flow erosion and anti-erosion techniques

● Measurement techniques for cavitation and multiphase flow detection

● Fluid-structure interaction induced by cavitation and multiphase flow

● Multi-scale modelling of cavitating flows and multiphase flow

● Cavitation nuclei: theory and experiments

● Supercavitation and its applications

● Synergetic effects of cavitation and silt-laden erosion

● Shock waves and microjets generated by cavitation

● Nonlinear oscillations of gas and vapour bubbles

● Fundamentals of physics of acoustic cavitation

● Sonochemistry and sonoluminescence

● Biomedical applications of cavitation effects

● Ultrasonic cavitation for molten metal treatment

● Cavitation and multiphase flow for enhanced heat transfer
