Call For Papers - CFP

The study of multiphase and complex flow is ever expanding in scope, primarily because of the increasing importance that these flows have in manufacturing, mineral extraction, environmental remediation, and medicine to name a few, and because of the technological advances that are constantly occurring. Despite experimental, theoretical and computational efforts that have spanned decades, we are still far from a full understanding of the complex behaviours inherent in multiphase flows. There are several causes of the difficulty in formulating accurate models even for the simplest of systems. The introduction of phenomena occurring at several different length scales, which in general can not be decoupled from each other, is the primary difficulty. At the smallest ? nano - scales, processes occur which are neither continuum nor molecular, and therefore can not be treated either at the molecular level ? the problem being too big ? or at the continuum level ? the model may miss important non-continuum effects. Examples of such situations are interface phenomena at engineered interfaces, which involve both a vapour and a liquid phase, or surface-to-surface interaction via an intervening fluid. One length scale up ? micro ? structure formation can cause difficulties in formulating boundary conditions and constitutive equations.
