Students will learn the basic phenomena involved in different types of the multiphase flow. They include the phenomena governed by interfacial forces and intermolecular forces, different types of instabilities leading to the generation of waves, breakup and atomization, flows of sprays, suspensions, emulsions, flows in porous and granular media. Students will learn the main physical phenomena and the mathematical methods for their description.

Literature
The script and the recorded lectures will be provided to the students after each lecture.

Further Grading Information
The examination will be oral in the form of a Seminar. During the seminar a student will present a paper from a top level scientific journal. The grade will include the presentation and the answering of the questions.

Official Course Description
Multiphase flows are involved in a variety of important industrial processes, such as spray combustion, chemical engineering, food production, cleaning, oil production and many many others. Multiphase flows are typical not only to many industrial processes, but also to various natural, biological processes, including even an expansion of the viruses.

During the course students will learn the existing state of the art of the phenomena involved in the multiphase flows and the major relevant physical mechanisms. The lectures will include also the examples of the theoretical models of the most interesting phenomena. However, also some interesting mathematical tools, novel diagnostic instruments and computational approaches will be introduced.

After the course students will be able to chose a suitable diagnostics for spray transport characterization, they will be able to chose a suitable method for numerical simulation of spray propagation, for the flow in the suspensions, bubbly flow with cavitation or in the porous media. They will be aware on the modern theoretical approaches in the field of multiphase. Moreover, this course will be very helpful for the succesfull master or doctoral studies in the framework of several SFB research centers at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
