Product Description
This book is an exposition of the derivation and use of equations of motion for multiphase flow. This includes bubbly liquids and particle-fluid mixtures.

The approach taken is to derive the equations of balance using ensemble averaging. They are the same as those derived from control volume methods. Closure for dispersed flows is discussed, and some fundamental solutions are given.

The work focuses on the fundamental aspects of two-phase flow, and is intended to give the reader a background for understanding the dynamics as well as a system of equations that can be used in predictions of the behavior of dispersed two-phase flows.

The exposition in terms of ensemble averaging is new, and combining it with the concepts of modern continuum mechanics makes this book unique.

The book is intended for engineering, mathematics and physics researchers and advanced graduate students working in the field.

Beyond the mundane

This is perhaps the very first time multi-fluid modelling was given such a rigous theoretical analysis. It brings what was known as phenomenological and engineering approaches to the level of a scientific subject being operated with mathematical apparatus and opening new windows to examine problems of hyperbolicity, ill-posedness of the model and addressing multi-scale complexity in two-phase flows. It is useful book to have for anyone who want to capture the essence of multiphase flows and attempt to approach it as a scientific matter, either computationally or experimentally.
