Accurately 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. After a
brief overview of the context and history the authors review the
governing equations. A particular emphasis is placed on the
'one-fluid' formulation where a single set of equations is used to
describe the entire flow field and interface terms are included as
singularity distributions. Several applications are discussed,
showing how direct numerical simulations have helped researchers
advance both our understanding and our ability to make predictions.
The final chapter gives an overview of recent studies of flows with
relatively complex physics, such as mass transfer and chemical
reactions, solidification and boiling, and includes extensive
references to current work.
