Experimental and Numerical Modelling of Gas-Liquid Flows

多相流系统在化工、石油、采矿、能源、食品和制药等许多过程工业中遇到，这些行业对澳大利亚经济至关重要。用于模拟这种系统的商业上可用的计算机代码目前在许多澳大利亚工业部门中被广泛使用。这项研究项目将解决其中许多计算机代码中普遍存在的缺陷，并开发能够预测广泛的工业泡状流问题的新模型。由此改进的计算机代码将为工业带来显著的好处--特别是减少设计和生产的时间和成本。

Multiphase flow systems are encountered in many process industries such as chemical, petroleum, mining, energy, food and pharmaceutical, which are fundamental to the Australian economy. Commercially available computer codes for simulating such systems are currently widely used in many Australian industrial sectors. This research project will address the prevalent deficiency in many of these computer codes and develop new models capable of predicting a wide range of industrial bubbly flow problems. The resultant improved computer codes will provide industries with significant benefits - especially reduced times and costs in their design and production.
