Droplets and bubbles with phase transitions
Prof. Dr. Detlef Lohse (Physics of Fluids, University of Twente)


In this talk I will describe and explain several simple experiments in which phase transitions in and around single droplets and bubbles play an important role. The talk will cover vapor bubbles and freezing and boiling droplets, on cold and hot surfaces, and in cold and hot surrounding liquid, showing beautiful and often unexpected phenomena.
