About the research area

Multiphase flows are found throughout the energy sector. They are easily identified in boiling and condensation processes in steam cycle power plants. They are found in any combustion process where a fuel is sprayed into a combustion chamber. Coal combustion and biomass gasification are examples of gas-solid multiphase flows in the energy industry. The identification and production of oil and gas reserves also involve several aspects of multiphase flows.
