2008 Annual Meeting

Session: Particulate and Multiphase Flows

This session will focus on theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies on microscopic and macroscopic hydrodynamic phenomena in suspensions, slurries, and other dispersed multiphase systems including (but not limited to) liquid-liquid or bubbly liquid systems.
