Two Phase Flows

Catalog description

Introduction of two-phase flows. Flow maps. Conservation Equations. Two-phase homogenous flows. Drift flux models. Interfacial dynamics. Motion of single particles, drops or bubbles. Bubble growth and collapse. Cavitation. Dusty gases. Granular flows. Sprays. The student who successfully completes this course will be able to understand the principles to two phase fluid mechanics; be able to start reading specialized literature of the subject; recognize the areas of active research; and develop research projects in this general area. Prerequisites: Advanced undergraduate fluid mechanics (e.g., ENGN 1860 ); graduate fluid mechanics course (e.g., ENGN 2810 ).
