Dynamics of Multiphase Flows

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.
