Book excerpt: From the deliberately confusing to the downright vague, we all come across language that either seems meaningless or that makes our heads spin.

It’s a 250-mile, ten-day journey across a hot, barren landscape with only a green deputy to help him keep the outlaws in line—and the brooding thoughts of his troubled relationship with Faith Connover to otherwise occupy his mind. When some kin of prisoner Fergus Mayfield ambush the marshals and free the convicts, they make one mistake—leaving Slade alive. Badly wounded, horseless, and unarmed, Slade will stop at nothing to survive the dangers of the desert and pursue the escaped outlaws to the ends of the earth…

Download or read book The History of Multiphase Science and Computational Fluid Dynamics written by Robert W. Lyczkowski and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of how the science of computational multiphase flow began in an effort to better analyze hypothetical light water power reactor accidents, including the “loss of coolant” accident. Written in the style of a memoir by an author with 40 years’ engineering research experience in computer modeling of fluidized beds and slurries, multiphase computational fluid dynamics, and multiphase flow, most recently at Argonne National Laboratory, the book traces how this new science developed during this time into RELAP5 and other computer programs to encompass realistic descriptions of phenomena ranging from fluidized beds for energy and chemicals production, slurry transport, pyroclastic flow from volcanoes, hemodynamics of blood-borne cells, and flow of granular particulates. Such descriptions are not possible using the classical single-phase Navier-Stokes equations. Whereas many books on computational techniques and computational fluid dynamics have appeared, they do not trace the historical development of the science in any detail, and none touch on the beginnings of multiphase science. A robust, process-rich account of technologic evolution, the book is ideal for students and practitioners of mechanical, chemical, nuclear engineering, and the history of science and technology.
