Summary

Two-phase flow and heat transfer are central to a wide range of engineering systems, including power generation, refrigeration and air conditioning, chemical processing, nuclear energy, electronics cooling, aerospace, and renewable energy technologies. As industries strive for higher thermal efficiency, improved safety, and more sustainable operation, deeper understanding, modeling, and control of two-phase flow phenomena have become increasingly critical. Advances in experimental techniques, high-fidelity numerical simulation, and data-driven methods are creating new opportunities to optimize the design and performance of thermal systems.

This Special Issue focuses on theoretical, computational, and experimental research in two-phase flow and heat transfer, spanning both fundamental studies and engineering applications. Its aim is to bring together recent scientific and technological advances that contribute to the understanding, modeling, prediction, and optimization of two-phase thermal systems across diverse industrial sectors.
