Design and Simulation of Multiphase Flow Systems

Catalog description

This course will introduce fundamental concepts of multiphase flow physics and explain their relevance in natural and engineered systems of societal importance. In this course, multiphase refers both to a carrier fluid laden with particles or two immiscible phases like water and air. State-of-the-art scientific computing strategies for modeling multiphase flows are presented and deployed in a series of case studies in which students will use, manipulate, and modify advanced algorithms in order to quantitatively predict the complex, highly non-linear behavior of these flows.
