Abstract
Analyzing a fascinating physical phenomenon such as the melt-water detonation in this chapter, we will give an interesting application of the theory of multi-phase flows - namely the analysis of the detonation wave propagation during the interaction of molten materials with liquids such as that of iron with water.
