Dispersed Phase Modelling
About
About the course
Course content
Introduction to dispersed phase modelling. Examples of industrial problems. Multiphase flow modelling issues. Statistical description of a dispersed phase field. Breakage, coalescence and growth phenomena.
Interaction of multiple dispersed phase fields. Entrainment and deposition phenomena. Review of numerical methods. Solution techniques for partial-integral-differential equations. Spectral element methods. Example of applications. Multiphase separation in the oil and gas industry. Multiphase transport phenomena in pipelines. Multiphase flow in chemical reactors.
Learning outcome
The aim of the course is to provide a theoretical foundation of dispersed phase modelling as well as practical experience in simulation of these types of models.
The student will gain fundamental understanding of the processes controlling the behaviour of the dispersed phase under different situations. In addition, the student will get practice using state of the art numerical techniques available for solving the related models.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, examples and exercises.
If the number of students is less than five, the examination form may be changed from a written to an oral exam.
Required previous knowledge
Background in fluid mechanics and numerical methods.
Course materials
Lecture notes and selected literature will be handed out at the beginning of the course.
