Abstract
The fundamentals of computational multiphase fluid dynamics are presented using discrete and continuum frameworks. Depending on the number, type, and size of phases and their interaction between phases within the flow system, a multiscale consideration of the multiphase flow physics allows the adoption of a number of possible approaches. The Lagrangian formulation can be utilized to track the motion of discrete constituents of identifiable portion of particular phases occupying the flow system. This represents the most comprehensive investigation that can be performed to analyze the multiphase flow physics. Because of the complexity of the microscopic motions and thermal characteristics of each discrete constituent which can be prohibitive at the (macro) device scale, the Eulerian formulation which characterizes the flow of discrete constituents as a fluid can be adopted for practical analysis of the flow system. This results in the development of a multifluid approach which solves for the conservation equations of continuous and dispersed phases. In order to better resolve the microphysics of the discrete constituents at the mesoscale, population balance allows the synthesization of the behavior and dynamic evolution of the population of the discrete constituents occupying the flow system. Such an approach allows the consideration of the spatial and temporal evolution of the geometrical structures as a result of formation and destruction of agglomerates or clusters through interactions between the discrete constituents and, more importantly, the collisions with turbulent eddies.
