Complex flows
Overall Course Objectives
Complex flows are addressed using the fundamental flow equations combined with effects from surface tension, compressibility, heat and scalar transport and with multiphase phenomena. This includes properties of dispersed phase flow, particle size distribution, and particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions. The student will use the solutions and models on relevant engineering problems.
