This book tells the story of how the science of computational
multiphase flow began in an effort to better analyze hypothetical
light water power reactor accidents, including the "loss of
coolant" accident. Written in the style of a memoir by an author
with 40 years' engineering research experience in computer modeling
of fluidized beds and slurries, multiphase computational fluid
dynamics, and multiphase flow, most recently at Argonne National
Laboratory, the book traces how this new science developed during
this time into RELAP5 and other computer programs to encompass
realistic descriptions of phenomena ranging from fluidized beds for
energy and chemicals production, slurry transport, pyroclastic flow
from volcanoes, hemodynamics of blood-borne cells, and flow of
granular particulates. Such descriptions are not possible using the
classical single-phase Navier-Stokes equations. Whereas many books
on computational techniques and computational fluid dynamics have
appeared, they do not trace the historical development of the
science in any detail, and none touch on the beginnings of
multiphase science. A robust, process-rich account of technologic
evolution, the book is ideal for students and practitioners of
mechanical, chemical, nuclear engineering, and the history of
science and technology.
