Influence of a nonlinear degenerate diffusion on an advection-diffusion equation in a diffuse interface framework* [PDF]
ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2023 This work is motivated by the modelling a liquid-vapour flows with phase transition describing the evolution of the coolant within an heat exchanger (e.g. the core of a Pressurized Water Reactor).

Phonons of Phase‐Change Materials
physica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, 2022 Phase‐change materials (PCMs) undergo a reversible transition from a semiconducting to a metallic state, nicely termed “incipient metal.” This transition is driven by a Peierls distortion. A model of covalent bonding is developed in a tight‐binding scheme that accounts for the drastic evolution of some properties of PCMs, among which the Grüneisen ...

Toward the Simulation of Flashing Cryogenic Liquids by a Fully Compressible Volume of Fluid Solver
Fluids, 2022 We present a fully compressible single-fluid volume of fluid (VOF) solver with phase change for high-speed flows, where the atomization of the liquid can occur either by the aerodynamics or by the effect of the local pressure. The VOF approximation among

Observation of sublimation of ice using terahertz spectroscopy
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Although many studies have investigated the phase change of water, few have focused on the sublimation of ice. This study revealed that ice sublimation can be observed using terahertz (THz) spectroscopy.
