Dynamics of Multiphase Flows

Address physical principles and unified theories governing multiphase flows, with methods, applications, and problems.

Understand the principles of multiphase flows using a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating physical properties, modelling theories, and engineering practices. Introduces important concepts, governing mechanisms, state-of-the-art theories, applications, and problems. A perfect tool for engineering students, researchers, and practitioners.Understand multiphase flows using multidisciplinary knowledge in physical principles, modelling theories, and engineering practices. This essential text methodically introduces the important concepts, governing mechanisms, and state-of-the-art theories, using numerous real-world applications, examples, and problems. Covers all major types of multiphase flows, including gas-solid, gas-liquid (sprays or bubbling), liquid-solid, and gas-solid-liquid flows. Introduces the volume-time-averaged transport theorems and associated Lagrangian-trajectory modelling and Eulerian-Eulerian multi-fluid modelling. Explains typical computational techniques, measurement methods and four representative subjects of multiphase flow systems. Suitable as a reference for engineering students, researchers, and practitioners, this text explores and applies fundamental theories to the analysis of system performance using a case-based approach.
