Overview

Attention is focused on a suspension of buoyant particles (or droplets) in a continuous fluid. In the presence of a force field - gravitational or centrifugal - and exposed to ordinary boundary constraints, a variety of fascinating flows can be obtained. These motions are essential ingredients in separation technology, where improved designs may be beneficial, but they are also interesting from a broader, academic point of view. In these respects, the recent investigations of these flow patterns, their underlying mechanisms and mathematical modelling, have accrued to a significant, relevant body of knowledge. The main objective of this book is to summarize the theoretical contributions which seem fundamental in understanding the subject. Each chapter is complemented by exercises for classroom use or self-study.
