Description
Book SynopsisAccurately predicting the behaviour of multiphase flows is a problem of immense industrial and scientific interest. Modern computers can now study the dynamics in great detail and these simulations yield unprecedented insight. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to direct numerical simulations of multiphase flows for researchers and graduate students.
Trade Review"This book provides a comprehensive introduction to direct numerical simulations of multiphase flows. It is useful for researchers and graduate students in computational engineering science who are interested in the development and application of numerical simulation methods for multiphase incompressible flows." Arnold Reusken, Mathematical Reviews
