Multiphase particulate systems in turbulent flows : fluid-liquid and solid-liquid dispersions / by Wioletta Podgorska.

Includes index.

"The book will provide methods necessary to analyze complex particulate systems and related phenomena. Physical, chemical and mathematical description of fundamental processes influencing crystal size and shape, suspension reology, interfacial area of drops and bubbles in extractors and bubble columns will be provided. Examples of mathematical model formulation for different processes taking place in such systems will be shown. Connections between turbulent mixing mechanism and precipitation will be discussed. The influence of fine-scale structure of turbulence, including its intermittent character, on breakage of drops, bubbles, cells, plant cell aggregates will be considered. Important aspect of the mathematical modeling presented in the book is multifractal approach applied to take into account the influence of internal intermittency on different phenomena"-- Provided by publisher.
