Abstract
The Boltzmann kinetic equation, the equations of continuum mechanics, and the system of moment equations for homogeneous nucleation are applied to investigate the vapor flow that occurs near a phase interface during its evaporation from a flat surface due to an instantaneous increase of the surface temperature. It is shown that the flow formed as a result of evaporation has a specific structure consisting of several zones. The influence of the bulk vapor condensation on this structure is examined.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Dynamics is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes theoretical, computational, and experimental research on aeromechanics, hydrodynamics, plasma dynamics, underground hydrodynamics, and biomechanics of continuous media. Special attention is given to new trends developing at the leading edge of science, such as theory and application of multi-phase flows, chemically reactive flows, liquid and gas flows in electromagnetic fields, new hydrodynamical methods of increasing oil output, new approaches to the description of turbulent flows, etc.
