Abstract

The research effort of Slemrod has been directed to developing a discrete velocity kinetic theory model for liquid-vapor phase transitions. The aim of the research is to develop a 'basic principles' description of liquid- vapor phase transitions (such as those occurring in an internal combustion engine) which is not a priori biased by ad hoc equations of state (constitutive relations). The modelling is almost completely finished, numerical simulations are being run, and a first draft of the results is being written.
