Multiphase Flow Dynamics 1: Fundamentals

by Nikolay Ivanov Kolev

Overview

In its fifth extended edition the successful monograph package “Multiphase Flow Dynamics” contains theory, methods and practical experience for describing complex transient multi-phase processes in arbitrary geometrical configurations, providing a systematic presentation of the theory and practice of numerical multi-phase fluid dynamics. In the present first volume the local volume and time averaging is used to derive a complete set of conservation equations for three fluids each of them having multi components as constituents. Large parts of the book are devoted on the design of successful numerical methods for solving the obtained system of partial differential equations. Finally the analysis is repeated for boundary fitted curvilinear coordinate systems designing methods applicable for interconnected multi-blocks.

This fifth edition includes various updates, extensions, improvements and corrections, as well as a completely new chapter containing the basic physics describing the multi-phase flow in turbines, compressors, pumps and other rotating hydraulic machines.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This voluminous bipartite monograph gives a systematic presentation of theory and practice of this important field of fluid dynamics. … it is very important to have a comprehensive and systematic overview including useful numerical methods. The two volumes have the character of a handbook and accomplish this function excellently. … These two volumes are very useful for scientists and practicing engineers in the fields of technical thermodynamics, chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, and for mathematicians … . This bipartite monograph is highly recommended." (Bernd Platzer, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 86 (12), 2006)

"This work presents a careful and detailed introduction into the methodology of multi-phase flows and numerical solution methods for multi-phase flow analysis. … will be of interest and useful to a wide range of specialists working in multi-phase flows, physicists, chemical engineers, biologists, and also to researchers interested by the mathematical theory of multi-phase flows and connected topics as well as to graduate and PhD students. It can also be recommended as a text for seminars and courses, as well as for independent study." (Ioan Pop, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1111 (8), 2007)
