Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Dispersed multiphase flows are at the heart of many geophysical, environmental, industrial, and energy applications. Volcanic eruptions, rain formation, powder snow avalanches, sediment transport, and dust storms are some classic examples from the environment, while industrial applications include fluidized beds, slurry transport, fuel injection, cyclone separators, and plasma coating, to name a few. Although each application is unique, they share significant commonalities in the underlying dispersed multiphase-flow physics that govern their dynamics. This book takes a rigorous approach to explaining the complex interconnected physical processes that are at play, before developing different classes of mathematical models and numerical techniques that are appropriate for different regimes of dispersed multiphase flows. Containing many examples and over 100 exercises, it is suitable for use as a graduate-level textbook as well as a reference for researchers who want to model and simulate a multiphase flow phenomenon in their application.

Reviews for Fundamentals of Dispersed Multiphase Flows

'Many will be grateful to the author for having collected and beautifully organized in this book a vast amount of material scattered throughout the literature. Students as well as practitioners will benefit from the clear perspective and complete coverage provided in these pages. In rare occasions a book defines a discipline - this may well be the case with Prof. Balachandar's work.' Andrea Prosperetti, University of Houston 'This encyclopedic treatise on multiphase flows ranges from particle-laden fluid flows to grain flows. The presentation of fluid dynamics, solid dynamics and thermodynamics is both rigorous and engaging. The treatment ranges from theory to high-fidelity numerical modeling. It will surely find a home on the hard drive of countless researchers.' Gary Parker, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 'Multiphase flows are ubiquitous and in the last 30 years we have assisted to an enormous leap in their modelling and computations. This is a carefully and purposefully written book by a world leader, it is written following a scientific approach and is an excellent enabling guide from the fundamentals to the applications. I highly recommend it to graduate students and to experts in the area.' Alfredo Soldati, TU Wien, Austria
