Book Description
A steady, axially symmetric, incompressible, viscous flow past a rigid sphere is numerically simulated by using a numerical scheme, based on spectral methods. The equations have been reduced to two sets of nonlinear second order partial differential equations in terms of vorticity and stream function. The calculations have been carried out for Reynolds numbers, based on the sphere diameter, in the range 0.1 to 104. The numerical results have verified that there is excellent agreement with Stokes theory at very low Reynolds numbers. At moderate to intermediate Reynolds numbers there is good general agreement with available experimental data and flow visualization pictures. The Reynolds number at which separation occurs is estimated as 20. The approach to boundary-layer behavior with increasing Reynolds numbers is also verified by comparison with potential flow theory and analytical boundary-layer solution.

Book Description
Dispersed multiphase flows are frequently found in nature and have diverse geophysical, environmental, industrial, and energy applications. This book targets a beginning graduate student looking to learn about the physical processes that govern these flows, going from the fundamentals to the state of the art, with many exercises included.

Book Description
Thanks to high-speed computers and advanced algorithms, the important field of modelling multiphase flows is an area of rapid growth. This one-stop account – now in paperback, with corrections from the first printing – is the ideal way to get to grips with this topic, which has significant applications in industry and nature. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert and includes extensive references to current research. All of the chapters are essentially independent and so the book can be used for a range of advanced courses and the self-study of specific topics. No other book covers so many topics related to multiphase flow, and it will therefore be warmly welcomed by researchers and graduate students of the subject across engineering, physics, and applied mathematics.
