Abstract

An Eulerian expression for the dissipation due to a moving surface of discontinuity in mass density, velocity, stress, energy, and heat flux is obtained. This leads to Eulerian measures forenergy release andfriction — measures that are work conjugate tomass flux andvelocity slip, respectively. Constitutive equations involving these quantities are proposed as a means to determine transition kinetics in materials that change phase.
