Abstract
An understanding of convective boiling flow depends on successful methods for analyzing two-phase flows first developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Two-phase flow is a very complex problem. Its complexity stems from the coexistence of steam and water in flows in a pot of boiling water, as occurs in a pressurized water reactor during an accident involving a loss of coolant. Other examples of two-phase flow, human made or natural, are bubbles rising in a carbonated drink, raindrops falling through the air, gasoline and air reacting in an automobile engine, and water and steam circulating through a nuclear reactor.
