The origins of the Conference start from 1970 in the Soviet Union, Novosibirsk. It was organized by Kutateladze Institute of Thermophysics SB RAS. The name of the conference was «Actual problems of thermophysics and physical hydrodynamics». The conference has been organized under this name up to 2015. The conference chairs were academicians of RAS V. E. Nakoryakov, S. V. Alekseenko and D. M. Marckovich. Peer reviewed proceedings of the conference have been published in the format of printed books. In 2016 the conference is reorganized in a new format with a shorter name: «Thermophysics and physical hydrodynamics» (TPH2021). The proceedings of the renewal Conference were published in the Journal of physics: conference series. The conference was held jointly with the scientific youth school «Thermophysics and Physical Hydrodynamics: Modern Challenges» (TPHMC2021). The scientific school is a lecture intensive. Invited lecturers – famous scientists and specialists from all over Russia talk about the achievements of their groups, teams, organizations. The subsequent work of young scientists in the sections of TPH2021 provides an opportunity to look at the challenges facing science in detail, ask questions, and get answers that can give an impetus to the development of their own research.
The conference takes place in Sevastopol, a beautiful and honor city in Crimea on the bank of the Black Sea. Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, National Committee on Heat and Mass Transfer RAS, Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics SB RAS, Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk State Technical University, Marine Hydrophysical Institute RAS, and Sevastopol State University are among other conference organizers besides Kutateladze Institute of thermophysics. The present Conference covers the following topics: heat transfer and hydrodynamics in single phase flows, hydrodynamics and heat and mass transfer in multiphase flows, phase transitions, reacting flow dynamics, detonation processes, numerical methods in thermophysics and physical hydrodynamics, techniques of thermophysics and hydrodynamics experiment, thermophysical properties of substances, heat and mass transfer on micro- and nanoscales, electrophysical phenomena in gaseous and liquid media, heat transfer and hydrodynamics in industrial processes and environment protection.
There are more than 180 participants. The proceedings contain 137 papers grouped by topic. The scientific committee appreciates the enormous work of the editorial board and reviewers in the preparation of this volume. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all authors for their research contributions, and to organizers of the conference for their valuable spadework, especially to specialists of MKS LLC.
