ABSTRACT

The flow of particles and droplets in fluids is a subcategory of multicomponent, multiphase flows. The flow of multicomponent, multiphase mixtures covers a wide spectrum of flow conditions and applications. A component is a chemical species such as nitrogen, oxygen, water or Freon. A phase refers to the solid, liquid or vapor state of the matter. Examples of single and multicomponent, multiphase flows are provided in Table 1.1.
