Towards sodium combustion modelling with liquid water

Solid and liquid sodium combustion with liquid water occurs through a thin gas layer where exothermic reactions happen with sodium and water vapors. It thus involves multiple interfaces separating liquid and gas in the presence of surface tension, phase transition and surface reactions. The gas phase reaction involves compressible effects resulting in possible shock wave appearance in both gas and liquid phases. To understand and predict the complexity of sodium combustion with water a diffuse i...
