Introduction to Multiphase Flow: Basic Concepts, Applications and Modelling
| PUBLISHER | Springer (09/05/2017) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
This book is the maiden volume in a new series devoted to lectures delivered through the annual seminars "Short Courses on Multiphase Flow," held primarily at ETH Zurich continuously since 1984. The Zurich short courses, presented by prominent specialists in the various topics covered, have attracted a very large number of participants. This series presents fully updated and when necessary re-grouped lectures in a number of topical volumes.
The collection aims at giving a condensed, critical and up-to-date view of basic knowledge on multiphase flows in relation to systems and phenomena encountered in industrial applications.
The present volume covers the background of Multiphase Flows (MPF) that introduces the reader to the particular nature and complexity of multiphase flows and to basic but critical aspects of MPFs including concepts and the definition of the quantities of interest, an introduction to modelling strategies for MPFs, flow regimes, flow regime maps and tr
ansition criteria. It also deals with the ubiquitous needs of the multiphase-flow modeller, namely pressure drop and phase distribution, i.e., the void fraction and the topology of the phases that determines the flow regimes.This book covers the background of Multiphase Flow (MPF), including the basic concepts and the definition of the quantities of interest, flow regimes, the calculation of pressure drop and void fraction, and an introduction to the modeling strategies for MPFs.
The maiden volume in a new book series devoted to lectures delivered through the annual seminars "Short Courses on Multiphase Flow," held primarily at ETH Zurich since 1984, this edition explores such basic but critical aspects of MPF as modelling strategies for multiphase flows, flow regimes, flow regime maps and flow regime transition criteria, void fraction, and pressure drop.
- Introduces the reader to the particular nature and complexity of multiphase flows;
