Modeling of Multiphase Astrophysical Media

​​ A wide range of astrophysical systems are multiphase. Gas phases at vastly different temperatures are co-spatial, interact with each other, and often lie at the core of understanding the matter and energy flows determining the dynamics of those systems.

Multiphase systems are ubiquitous - some examples include coronal rain, the interstellar medium, galactic winds, intracluster and intergalactic medium.

This workshop is intended to bring theorists from different sub-fields of astrophysics together to discuss challenges and solutions in modeling multiphase systems and the relevant physical processes shaping them.

The key questions to be addressed include (but are not limited to):

Under which conditions do multiphase systems form?

What sets the mass / momentum / energy transfer rates between the phases?

Which morphology and what kinematics do multiphase systems have?

How can we model multiphase gas computationally?
