| Publisher Description: Providing a clear description of the theory of polydisperse multiphase flows, with emphasis on the mesoscale modelling approach and its relationship with microscale and macroscale models, this all-inclusive introduction is ideal whether you are working in industry or academia. Theory is linked to practice through discussions of key real-world cases (particle/droplet/bubble coalescence, break-up, nucleation, advection and diffusion and physical- and phase-space), providing valuable experience in simulating systems that can be applied to your own applications. Practical cases of QMOM, DQMOM, CQMOM, EQMOM and ECQMOM are also discussed and compared, as are realizable finite-volume methods. This provides the tools you need to use quadrature-based moment methods, choose from the many available options, and design high-order numerical methods that guarantee realizable moment sets. In addition to the numerous practical examples, MATLAB scripts for several algorithms are also provided, so you can apply the methods described to practical problems straight away. |
Contributor Bio(s): Fox, Rodney O.: - Rodney O. Fox is the Anson Marston Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Iowa State University, Associate Scientist at the US-DOE Ames Laboratory and Senior Research Fellow in the EM2C laboratory at the Ecole Centrale Paris, France. His numerous professional awards include a NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1992 and Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2007. The impact of Fox's work touches every technological area dealing with multiphase flow and chemical reactions. His monograph Computational Models for Turbulent Reacting Flows (Cambridge University Press, 2003) offers an authoritative treatment of the field.Marchisio, Daniele L.: - Daniele L.
