Title: Gas-liquid two-phase flow and heat transfer under various gravity levels
Abstract: 
Understanding of gas-liquid two-phase flow and heat transfer under various gravity levels is important due to its applications to modern flight vehicles, such as high performance fighters and space stations. This keynote speech presents an overview of gas-liquid two-phase flow and heat transfer under various gravity levels, including simulation of different gravity levels, gas-liquid two-phase flow patterns under various gravity levels, frictional pressure drop under various gravity levels, and heat transfer under various gravity levels. Our team has conduct long-term study of gas-liquid two-phase flow and heat transfer in this field, supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (52076107, 51576099, and 51176074). Some research achievements are to be introduced in this speech.
