Multiphase systems

Multiphase systems involve materials composed of two or more distinct phases, or parts, each with different properties, such as solid, liquid, or gas. These phases coexist and interact within a single system, like oil and water in a mixture or steel containing both solid and liquid regions during certain manufacturing processes. Understanding these systems is important in engineering and science because the phases' behavior influences properties like strength, flow, and stability. By studying multiphase systems, scientists can develop better processes, materials, and technologies tailored to specific applications.
