Title: What you see is what you understand: explaining two-phase flows at different scales with computational and theoretical approaches

Abstract: Examples of multi-phase flows are legion: bubble plumes, dust storms, sediment transport in rivers, and many other natural and man-made applications. To study such flows, numerous empirical regressions have been provided for decades. Since three/four decades ago, more mechanistic approaches have been developed, which address the interaction of carrier and disperse phases. Still, it is not clear what to use for a given level of concentration, and for the objective of a...
