Workshop Objective

The Physical Science Research Division at NASA Headquarters chartered the Two-phase Flow, Fluid Stability and Dynamics Workshop to define a coherent scientific and technical plan to address the multiphase fluid engineering problems associated with NASA’s technology development program. This document presents a prioritization of the various multiphase flow and fluid stability phenomena related primarily to power, propulsion, fluid and thermal management and advanced life support; and a plan to address these issues in a logical and timely fashion using analysis, ground-based and space-flight experiments. The outcome from this workshop is a research plan and roadmap for strategic research that has been vetted by the multiphase research community.
