ENME 647: Multiphase Flow

This course is intended to give an overview of the fundamentals involved in dispersed multiphase flows. Emphasis will primarily be on the dynamics of particles within a continuous carrier phase, but other topics may be discussed depending on the interest of the class. A tentative listing of the topics is listed below.

Course Outline:

Properties of Dispersed Phase flows: Definitions, important non-dimensional numbers, scaling, size distributions and moments, size distribution models.

Particle Fluid Interaction: Single-particle equations (mass, momentum and energy transfer for single particles), effects of non-uniform flow, drag and lift forces, particle-particle collisions.

Averaged Equations: Averaging procedures (time, volume, and ensemble averaging), quasi-one-dimensional flow, two-fluid volume-averaged equations of motion, turbulence and two-way coupling.

Numerical Models: Primitive variable formulation, simple vortex methods, Lagrangian and Eulerian analysis, dense flows.

Experimental Methods for particle-laden systems: Sieves, sedimentation, iso-kinetic probes, light attenuation, laser diffraction sizing, imaging techniques (particle tracking, particle image velocimetry), laser/phase Doppler anemometry.

Format and Grading: Several homework assignments will be made through the course of the semester which will be graded and returned. One in-class midterm will be given. Students will also work on a project (either analytical or numerical) that will be completed and turned in by the end of class. In addition, each student will conduct a literature review of a specialized topic related to the course, make a 20 minute presentation summarizing the findings to class, and turn in a written report of the topic. Grading: Homework (30%), 1 Midterm (20%), literature review (15%), final project (15%), Final (20\%).
