Modelling of multiphase flows

Fluid Mechanics Module, Master’s programme (MB)

4 contact hours per week

Overview

Students will be able to

• apply the fundamentals of numerical fluid dynamics to mechanical engineering problems
• to select and evaluate computational data and methods for fluid dynamics calculations in accordance with scientific criteria
• to select and evaluate computational data and methods for multiphase fluid mechanics, as well as the associated models, in accordance with scientific criteria

Contents

• Fundamentals of multiphase flow
• Fluid-solid flows (individual particles, bulk solids – fluidised beds and packings, pneumatic conveying)
• Gas-liquid flows (motion of individual bubbles, cavitation, foam formation, pressure loss calculation for multiphase flows)

Lecturers
