Gas assisted atomization is becoming increasingly important in many industrial applications such as physical, chemical and petroleum processes. In order to achieve proper atomization it is crucial to have proper mixing of gas (air) and liquid (water) in the feeding conduit before it enters into the nozzle. The flow regime, as well as the flow pattern and structure of the flow, are some of the i...

In this chapter we shall introduce a new and practical method for two-phase flow rate measurement, which is known as flow division and separation method. As its name suggested, a two-phase flow is measured by diverting a small fraction of the total stream to a division loop and metering it with the separation means. This method has been developed in Xi’an jiaotong university since the end of la...

We consider a kinetic-fluid model with random initial inputs which describes disperse two-phase flows. In the light particle regime, using energy estimates, we prove the uniform regularity in the random space of the model for random initial data near the global equilibrium in some suitable Sobolev spaces, with the randomness in the initial particle distribution and fluid velocity. By hypocoerci...

The stability of two-dimensional Poiseuille flow and plane Couette flow for concentrated suspensions is investigated. Linear stability analysis of the two-phase flow model for both flow geometries shows the existence of a convectively driven instability with increasing growth rates of the unstable modes as the particle volume fraction of the suspension increases. In addition it is shown that th...

A huge number of deaths in the world are the direct or indirect consequence of a disease which is called atherosclerosis. The disease could be due to an artery blockage by the interaction of an externally second phase with a particle which is entered to the bloodstream. The effect of some most important physical and geometrical affecting parameters on the blockage time of a microchannel due to ...
