Ebook: Theory of Dispersed Multiphase Flow. Proceedings of an Advanced Seminar, Conducted by the Mathematics Research Center, the University of Wisconsin–Madison, May 26–28, 1982

From environmental concern with dilute suspensions of fine particles in the atmosphere, from chemical engineering interest in the handling of long-chain polymer solution, from the closing of hydro-power stations by agglomeration of ice crystals in rivers to the control of chemical reactions in particle suspensions carried by a fluid stream and to the flow of grain in silos, and of issues that impinge on our daily lives and prompt scientific enquiry into the behavior of the fluids into which substances of different phase are finely mixed. It is a subject in which research has quickened in the past decade, and this volume collects the articles of fifteen leading contributors who came together in May 1982, to give an up-to-date, authoritative survey of the field and some of its applications
