Advances in Studies on Turbulent Dispersed Multiphase Flows

Dispersed multiphase flows, including gas-particle (gas-solid), gas-spray, liquid-particle (liquid-solid), liquid-bubble, and bubble-liquid-particle flows, are widely encountered in power, chemical and metallurgical, aeronautical and astronautical, transportation, hydraulic and nuclear engineering. In this paper, advances and research needs in fundamental studies of dispersed multiphase flows, including the particle/droplet/bubble dynamics, particle-particle, droplet-droplet and bubble-bubble interactions, gas-particle and bubble-liquid turbulence interactions, particle-wall interaction, numerical simulation of dispersed multiphase flows, including Reynolds-averaged modeling (RANS modeling), large-eddy simulation (LES) and direct numerical simulation (DNS) are reviewed. The research results obtained by the present author are also included in this review.
