CFD for Multiphase Flows

Issued by Penn State College of Engineering

Multiphase flow CFD simulations are becoming critical for engineering of electronics thermal management solutions, aerospace power & propulsion systems, nuclear thermal hydraulics, & biochemical processes. Badge earners can (1) Identify and describe the theoretical underpinnings of the physics models employed in multiphase CFD codes. (2) Set up, run, and interpret the results of multiphase flow simulations. (3) Implement multiphase physics and closure models w/in CFD environments.
