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.
