Two-Phase Flow: Fundamentals and Applications

This course covers the fundamental concepts of two-phase flow and heat transfer. The course delves into different flow regimes in two-phase flow, such as homogeneous and separated flow, and discusses various models like the dlux model and the separated flow model. For instance, the course illustrates how the size of bubbles in a flow can change due to merging or breaking, leading to different flow regimes. It also presents flow regime maps that help predict the type of flow pattern for any gas-liquid combination. The course further explains the concept of two-phase flow in real-world scenarios, including solid, liquid, and gaseous phases. It also highlights the importance of two-phase flow in daily life and industrial applications. The course concludes with an explanation of different terminologies used in two-phase flow and heat transfer.
