Preface
This book is intended to be an introduction to the theory of thermo-fluid
dynamics of two-phase flow for graduate students, scientists and practicing
engineers seriously involved in the subject. It can be used as a text book at
the graduate level courses focused on the two-phase flow in Nuclear
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering, as well as
a basic reference book for two-phase flow formulations for researchers and
engineers involved in solving multiphase flow problems in various
technological fields.
The principles of single-phase flow fluid dynamics and heat transfer are
relatively well understood, however two-phase flow thermo-fluid dynamics
is an order of magnitude more complicated subject than that of the singlephase flow due to the existence of moving and deformable interface and its interactions with the two phases. However, in view of the practical
importance of two-phase flow in various modern engineering technologies
related to nuclear energy, chemical engineering processes and advanced heat transfer systems, significant efforts have been made in recent years to
develop accurate general two-phase formulations, mechanistic models for
interfacial transfer and interfacial structures, and computational methods to solve these predictive models.
A strong emphasis has been put on the rational approach to the derivation
of the two-phase flow formulations which represent the fundamental
physical principles such as the conservations laws and constitutive modeling for various transfer mechanisms both in bulk fluids and at interface. Several models such as the local instant formulation based on the single-phase flow model with explicit treatment of interface and the macroscopic continuum formulations based on various averaging methods are presented and……..
