Summary
The book’s final chapter pays attention to various issues that can be encountered when investigating multiphase flows. This chapter can be read independently, although on a few occasions it refers to some selected problems from the prior topics. First, this chapter treats a multiphase flow as a system of spherical particles with some given concentration and with some average distance between the particles. Later, the chapter looks into the particle reaction as immersed in a fluid (discussion so-called response times), and it is shown how the presence of the particles influences the fluid flow by discussing the concept of phase coupling and suspension viscosity. Next, we consider the issue of the dispersion of particles as they are subject to turbulent flows, and how the particles may gather in some selected flow zones (preferential concentration). The fact that the particles may be of different sizes is later analysed by investigating the particle size distribution. The final sections of the chapter are dedicated to collision frequency and a particular case of a flow through a particle bed.
