Computational Techniques for Multiphase Flows

In an industrial context, mixed or multiphase flows of e.g solid/ liquid or solid/ gas are commonly found,but their behaviour is complex and difficult to predict in many cases. The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool for the understanding of fluid mechanics in multiphase reactors, which are widely used in the chemical, petroleum,mining, food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. The use of CFD is increasing in many industries, and bringing economies and benefits in its wake. Thus the potential user of CFD needs a book which explains how to use the technique, when to use it and how to interpret the results and apply them. This is that book.
