Course Details

The course aims to introduce and develop computational methods for modelling multiphase, multicomponent and reacting systems, commonly encountered in a wide range of engineering applications. It covers the fundamental principles of momentum, energy and mass conservation in turbulent multiphase and multicomponent flows, both with and without chemical reactions. The main flow regimes of multiphase systems and the thermochemical processes governing reacting systems are analysed in detail. Detailed modelling and numerical solution methodologies are presented, with emphasis on chemical kinetics mechanisms, reacting systems and the computational simulation of combustion phenomena and two-phase flows. The course also includes the analysis and practical implementation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes for the simulation of multiphase and reacting flows.
