Work Package 3

Multiphase flow and heat transfer

The challenges of multiphase flows—an area critical to many industrial processes—are addressed in this work package.

The objectives are that for multiphase flows: i) Increase the knowledge of how flow, heat transfer, and chemical reactions interact. ii) Refine existing models and sub-models to more accurately simulate the complexities of industrial processes. iii) Challenge and validate these refined models against complex and known scenarios, such as those found in moving porous beds and for clouds of droplets and single droplets to ensure their accuracy and reliability. iv) Tailor models to meet the specific needs of different industrial applications, focusing on relevant boundary and ambient conditions.

The work package includes three PhD student projects; two hosted by LTU, and one by KTH.
