Physics of Gas Liquid Flows

This book develops the theoretical foundations of disperse two-phase flows, which are characterized by the existence of bubbles, droplets or solid particles finely dispersed in a carrier fluid, which can be a liquid or a gas. Basic knowledge of the subjects treated in this book is essential to practitioners of Computational Fluid Dynamics for two-phase flows in a variety of industrial and environmental settings. The book clarify many difficult subjects, including modeling of the interfacial area concentration. This book is highly suitable for students in the subject area, but may also be a useful reference text for more advanced scientists and engineers.

This book contains a selection of high quality papers, discussing the state-of-the-art research in particle science and technology, presented at the UK-China International Particle Technology Forum IV held at Shanghai, China in December 2013. Providing a new, valuable contribution to the literature in the field, it will appeal to material scientists and environmentalists investigating the role of particle science in the environment.

This short but complicated book is very demanding of any reader. The scope and style employed preserve the nature of its subject
