Multiphase Flows: Analytical Solutions and Stability Analysis

Multiphase Flows: Analytical Solutions and Stability Analysis. Instructor: Prof. S. Pushpavanam, Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Madras. This course concentrates on obtaining analytical and semi-analytical solutions to multiphase flow problems. The emphasis is on using a very fundamental approach: equations of conservation of mass, momentum and energy without any empiricism. The focus is on getting approximate solutions using perturbation theory, and analysing stability of systems using linear stability analysis. This will help prepare students for doing research in these areas. (from nptel.ac.in)
