Buoyancy-Thermocapillary Convection of Volatile Fluids in Confined and Sealed Geometries

This thesis represents the first systematic description of the two-phase flow problem. Two-phase flows of volatile fluids in confined geometries driven by an applied temperature gradient play an important role in a range of applications, including thermal management, such as heat pipes, thermosyphon...
