Course Description
- This course is designed to provide students with a
strong background on
fundamental fluid mechanics the necessary understanding of the
dynamics
of multiphase flow to carry out research in their area of
interest. Particular
emphasis will be placed on bubble and particle dynamics,
including
sediment transport, cavitation, atomization and other
environmental and
industrial processes.
Although we will cover both Eulerian-Eulerian (two fluid)
models and
Eulerian-Lagragian (discrete particles) models, most of the
material
concentrates on the study of a discrete phase (particles,
droplets or
bubbles) in a continuous phase. Topics will include
Basset-Boussinesq-
Oseen equation of motion for a particle in a non-uniform flow,
particle
interactions with turbulence, inertial clustering, cavitation
and bubble
dynamics, droplet breakup, collisions and coalescence,
and surface tension
effects.
