The aim of this element is to introduce students to the characteristics and modelling of dispersed flows, particularly those composed of bubbles and particles. The course covers the concept of characterisation for the description of multiphase flows, especially the various methods used to describe the size distribution of particles. Students are taught how to calculate the steady and unsteady motion of single particles and how particles interact with one another. The methods for homogeneous and separated multiphase flows used for modelling and their limitations are then described for several different situations. This will include a description of the mechanisms of boiling. Direct teaching is supported by problem sheets.
