ABSTRACT
Transport phenomena include the disciplines of momentum, heat, and mass transfer. Th e improvement in their analyses results from now having the ability (1) to predict two-and three-dimensional spatial variations of these processes and (2) to realistically represent turbulence, real fl uid properties, and chemical reactions. Such analyses involve solving conservation laws which are nonlinear partial diff erential equations (PDEs). Th e physical similarity of the various transport mechanisms suggests, and practice has proven, that methodology for describing one type of process would also be useful in describing the other transports.
