Introduction to a series of featured articles: 'Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics For industrial processes'

摘要

We are starting publication of a series of featured articles entitled "Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics for Industrial Processes." In this short Introduction we can only touch upon some of the important issues of industrial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications. It is difficult to underestimate the importance of CFD for modern industries. Advanced technologies require powerful computational tools to avoid expensive large-scale experiments and speed-up process and equipment optimisation. CFD is a rapidly evolving discipline oriented on developing computational tools for solving problems related to transport processes: fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, reactive flow, multiphase flow.
